Everyone’s mental health did.

Shannon Sharpe is slowly but surely becoming this generation’s Marc Maron

Fuck off with this labor valuation bullshit.

I’m often reminded after I see a bad movie that just as much work went into it as went into a good movie. Usually the problem stems from a poorly concieved concept from the start. With Eternals, it’s not even that Marvel tried something different, it’s that they didn’t even learn from the whole Inhumans mess. It just…

“but the whole point of getting ripped for a superhero movie is to have people notice how ripped you are”

I recommend checking out the article above and the source interview.

That’s what happens when you drop a series all at once.  The conversation ends the moment it premieres and only starts up again in advance of the new season. 

scrap. . . multiple apparent spin-offs

You made some good arguments towards disproving your thesis. Sadly, I don’t see enough that helps prove it.

If the filmmaker decided that a sex scene should be in their film, it’s not wasting time. You may feel that you have wasted your time, but that isn’t the same thing.

It’s funny that trans folks just plain break some people’s brains.

I just don’t understand the Army’s motivation here. Why kidnap people and force them to join you. Surely people will do that on their own with the promise of food, room and board. Sending a helicopter for one nearly dead, small town sheriff rings false. Then again, the show had been fucking stupid and repetitive the…

I have to say, in addition to the terrible movies she was in making pathetic box office, it was also some good schadenfreude to see the right wing audience blast the movies for having a tough “woke” badass woman lead.

Yeah, also even if her argument was, and a court upheld that, her speech was “political in nature” — that’s still not a protected class when dealing with a private entity/employer (except potentially in Washington DC, where political party is apparently a protected class).

Yeah, it worries me that people think everything has to “add to the plot

That’s certainly one way to tell us you’ve never read Orwell.

Not that I’m totally disagreeing with Cavill here - there is such a thing as a gratuitous sex scene - but I dislike this idea that every element of a movie has to “serve the plot”. The plot is one part of a movie (or any story); a necessary one, but also a largely mechanical one. Stories are so much more than just the…

I was IATSE, although in a smaller market, and stagehands are also notorious for drug issues. Partly it’s the long days - they drink to sleep and use uppers to wake up. I worked a convention center gig with a guy trained as a rigger. He smelled like beer and was panhandling on the floor. Literally asking other hands…

See, that’s why entertainment journalists suck in general. This is a vital distinction, yet every headline after she was let go used the term “fired”. The quote Lucasfilm released at that time even suggest that there wasn’t even plan to bring her back even before her comments.

That studio is going to get a very expensive visit from OSHA to remind them about harnesses and tie offs and shit. My company got hit with fine (I want to say it was $7K) because one of our service techs was too close to the edge of a roof and when the inspector popped in (because it just so happened that there was a…
