Well you just speculated in the same manner I did. It’s difficult not to in case like this. No harm was intended and of course the finger should not be pointed at anyone until after an investigation. I was on a set when the news broke and everyone, including props and the camera crew were shocked but also speculating,

It’s a weird one. The fact that it was crew and not an actor suggest it was misuse, unless in the shot he was firing at or close to the camera in a POV type of shot? But even then why two hit parties? you would think there would only be one. I guess it will all come out.

Tigger is a “national treasure”? Yes but of the U.K.

See I think the movie itself is different than it was intended to be. As with a lot of big budget studio comedies there is very little of actual humor in the script. So they just get too set and say to someone like Waititi or Reynold “now adlib something funny!” And I’m sure they have a laugh on set about all the

Shawn Levy is a comedy black hole and once he was attached to direct this it was dead in the water. There is some worth in his work in that giant robot fighting movie that everyone loved way too much and as a producer on a couple of decent projects but he cut his comedy teeth in Nickelodeon level movies and shows and

At it’s core X-com has, for me, the best gameplay in existence. Yet someone at 2k/Fireaxis wants to bury it among bland Overwatch style designs, crap sub- par sci-fi melodrama plot and is constantly trying to distract me and get in the way of the amazing gameplay. They seem to think all the worse parts of the games

Jesus, someone has a lighthearted opinion of a (bad) movie and you end up calling them a “Jackass.” It’s ok, I don’t think this commenter wants to, or is in a position to, ban Madea movies.

I’d say most of those actor’s most famous roles are in movies uniquely American that wouldn’t travel internationally. Whereas Will Smith largely makes crowd pleasers, Ice Cube, Perry and Hart in particularly are most known in the US for comedies which are very much aimed at black America. It’s like wondering why Earnes

Turned into what kind of guy exactly? I know he’s religious and has been affiliated with some dodgy churches but he’s voted dem in the past so can’t be uber right wing?

Palestinians are fighting for their existence and at a certain point not acknowledging that existence makes you part of the problem.

This what we do now. We put celebrities in the good person box or the bad person box. Glover is still a good person in your eyes so you will cut him a small bit of slack, but soon he will say something that isn’t 100% right-on and he will be placed in the bad person box. It’s inevitable. It’s so binary and reductive,

Yeah I don't think you understood the end (or Mulholland Drive). They even had one of the characters say out loud "everything that happened on the island happened" to avoid confusion.

To dismiss such a character as an ‘incel’ because of modern culture war bollix is so reductive. He’s a sad, socially awkward lonely man who has never been able to form meaningful relationships. More of a tragic figure. He’s had never harmed anyone, seemed relatively caring to his ageing parents and who uses his

Adapting books is difficult. The mountains of bad adaptations shows us that. Usually people would get credit for doing a good adaption but instead these guys get retroactively shat on because they couldn’t stick the landing.

Either you use the word ‘hate’ way to liberally or you need a truck load of perspective. Just don’t like something, move on, and leave the hate for people who actually do something to deserve it.

I worded that simplistically, it is a Mike McMahan show. But it is made by Kurtzman’s production company and he is in charge of the whole CBS Star Trek conveyor belt so he will have overseen it’s conception, hiring, and from quotes he seems somewhat involved in decisions. So it might fail in new ways but that is not

It’s definitely a Kurtzman show. While his movies and Tv shows replaced thoughtfulness for rapid paced, non-stop action. Lower Decks is a comedy show that replaces jokes with rapid paced dialogue and frantic performances.

Or... despite being a potential asshole Tom Cruise can be a really really good actor in the right role.

“Go to hell you smarmy vomit eater.” for an innocuous actor press quote? The misplaced vitriol is mind boggling. Downplaying the cartoonish aspects of Trumps looks in order to better highlight and focus on his monstrous personality makes sense. You may not agree but Jesus, the hate directed at a man who almost
