I suck at a lot of things in this world, but reading comprehension and drawing fine distinctions are not two of those things. I don’t assume that you didn’t understand me because you continue to disagree with me, I assume it because you continue to manifest that misunderstanding. I assume it because you apparently…

Were you at an all-girls school? At mine, we were incorrigible. Minimal decorum and the school didn’t care about skirt length (no boys around to notice), they were too busy trying to get us to tuck our shirts in. (And being grateful that we tended to wear boxer shorts under our skirts since we did not sit like ladies…

I meant I don’t know why the excitement over the accent doesn’t wear off, not the accent itself. I can understand getting excited about it if you’ve haven’t been exposed to it much. It’s different! It’s crisp! Americans associate it with elegance! It just seems like the sort of thing people would get used to, and yet…

Dude, you not initially understanding what I was talking about does not mean I have changed the subject at the point at which you figure out what I am talking about and that my thing is actually different from what you want to talk about. I aint mad at ya for wanting to talk about a different thing, but yes, I do take…

But that wasn’t the original point of discussion

You are correct, I ignored your point: Gawker Media is garbage and Merlan is not a reporter. I ignored your point because I asked myself — does defending GM in general and Merlan’s status as a reporter specifically sound like an interesting or entertaining thing to do in this moment? And the answer was — no, it does…

The number of people who hated Depp in the 80s and 90s was pretty small.

It was a side room!

Nope, I’d say Johnny Depp is the unrivaled King of Advanced Passive Aggressive Response to women finding him attractive. That boy started trying to ugly up his pretty the second 21 Jump Street took off. (Contrast Jude Law.) Beginners just tend to grow a beard and dress like a slob.

You don’t get it. Of course what Allen did to his daughter is more serious in both a moral and criminal sense than what Weinstein does. But workplace behavior should be a more relevant consideration than outside of the workplace behavior when choosing who to work with. Allen’s acts were very damaging to his daughter…

Obviously, some people go completely silly over the accent (which you think would wear off eventually but somehow doesn’t?). But I also have a theory that British men (specifically actors) are more comfortable being seen as sex objects than American men (specifically straight men). The Brits tend to have a sense of…

After watching that, I wondered if the UK peeps delighted by it just never watch porn. Like, how can you be so distracted by naked butt that you don’t notice that this does not look like hot sex?

That’s not a high profile refusal. I’d be surprised if there aren’t actors out there who have and would decline to work with him, but they’re not going to be talking to the media about it.

No, it’s meaningless tokenism in terms of the industry itself. It might make many members of the public feel better. But it’s a terribly convenient line to draw — I won’t work with this guy who molested his own kid — a very rare accusation to be made publicly, rather than refusing to work with people in the industry…

I don’t want to defend Woody Allen, but when I think of the most defensible part of his oeuvre I instantly go to Dianne Wiest in Bullets Over Broadway. Just what a fantastic role that was for her and a gift to the audience. But I looked at the imdb page just now, and apparently he had a co-writer (Douglas McGrath), so…

I would love to be an Industrial and Organizational Psychologist who studies the entertainment industry. I’m amazed by the scale and tolerance for unprofessional behavior.

The whole point of Yacht’s swindle is that the media pretty much perpetuates and promotes these porn leaks.

I’m getting increasingly sick of people who have incredibly high expectations of other people’s empathetic capacity while showing little of their own. There are completely insane people on the internet, noisy and gathered together, devoted to the mania that Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson are secretly married and…

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure it’s possible to be fully employed in the entertainment industry if you refuse to work with people who are guilty of sexual exploitation. I agree it’s a serious problem, but I don’t think high profile refusal to work with Woody Allen is the solution.

Could you share your anal sex warm up technique, please?
