The comment being short and off-the-cuff doesn’t make it any less bizarre or inappropriate for the film at hand.

Having seen the movie and read the review... it kind of is like that, mostly because the movie doesn’t emphasize cleavage at all, and the vast majority of it is women in totally normal clothes walking around in the dark. Claiming the film is a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage says far more about the reviewer than…

Implying the critic was unable to do her job because she was distracted by breasts is pretty rude.

The only reason any of those fans know that anything happened at all is because Wilson chose to make a private conversation public. She actively courted attention where there had been none and then attempted to use said attention as proof that she’s a victim.

Sesame Street points out that monsters are fine and good.

She could be dead fucking serious and it wouldn’t change how ridiculous Wilson’s reaction was.

Regardless of the original review or Stenberg’s reaction to it, Wilson taking the private conversation public while simultaneously complaining about how Stenberg’s public persona gives her power is absolutely absurd. It’s one of those cases where the reaction overshadows the initial infraction.

What kind of moron would call someone else a moron without bothering to get the most basic facts of the incident correct?

And I reiterate my call to bring back 90s dream pop, dammit.

The only thing I’d say in its defense is that all of Netflix’s other “dark” shows are more or less aping Tim Burton’s general aesthetic in the first place, from his love of pinstripes to the wide angles with super-saturated colors. It looks exactly like a Netflix show, but it also looks exactly like a Tim Burton…

Yeah, in another discussion I actually brought up that moment as an example of how to do this sort of gag right, because the focus is always and exclusively on the family bonding over their shared activity, with the screams being pretty arch, in the background and off screen. If we saw the carolers writhing in pain…

The thing is Wednesday might attempt mass murder, but the audience would never be shown it. The camera would cut before she dropped the fish, or we’d hear what happened after the fact as an anecdote, but the actual violence has to be off camera for things to remain cartoony and arch rather than sadistic. You can’t do…

Yeah, it shifts Wednesday away from being an edgy, disaffected teenager (who kills people) to being a genuine murderous psychopath (who is an edgy teenager). There are situations where that kind of comedy works, but it’s explicitly not what The Addams Family is all about.

It kind of kills my interest, honestly. The joke has always been that despite how terrible these characters theoretically are, we only really see them being a loving family. The gag with the awful mayhem they cause is how we always focus on their warm enjoyment of it, not on the actual suffering itself. It kind of…

He did something decent, never broadcast it, and then years later his co-star talked about it in a positive way.

Powerful stars going to bat for their less-well-represented co-workers isn’t “white knighting” unless you actively want it to be. He had the better negotiating position and used it for his co-star’s benefit, which she appreciated.

I know he belongs to a spin-off of a questionable church, but man people have taken that and run with it way beyond what any evidence actually indicates.

Then someone else would have, and it would have been an even bigger fiasco. The movies were going to happen come hell or high water. The only actual way to make better movies than what we got would have been to convince the studios to stop being a bunch of stupid assholes.

With The Hobbit it wasn’t just about talent, it was about time and freedom. Jackson had extremely little pre-production time and the studio was significantly more aggressive about what they wanted in there. He was a reluctant last-minute pinch hitter trying to salvage a project in tailspin and bring it home without…

And as someone who suffers from mental health disabilities, I find it a little alarming how everyone here is so quick to jump on that bandwagon!
