To be fair, every pop culture site is posting about that trash heap.

James Marsters has an unflattering story about Whedon.

Whedon’s whole stock and trade is writing fictional characters who are like the person Gal Gadot actually is in real life. No wonder she wasn’t impressed.

I’m pretty sure there have been plenty of not-so-hush rumors and allegations about Whedon being toxic over the years, w/r/t your “something we haven’t really heard about him from other projects” comments. Maybe it just hasn’t come to light until one straw finally broke the back, as with most toxic personalities.

Yeah, I’m guessing being booted from the HBO show is part of the “remedial action” (WB and HBO are both under the same parent company).

Imagine Whedon trying to intimidate someone who was in the Israel Defense Force. Someone who is just as badass as playing the actual Wonder Woman.

It definitely appears so. I am not sure you were the first to admit it, though.

Where exactly do these “war on Christmas” people live? I live in Seattle, which the MAGA crowd has apparently decided is now a godless lawless coastal elite hellscape, and as far as I can tell Christmas is as ubiquitous as ever.

They make so many it’s impossible to give an overall evaluation. It’s almost like saying are Warner Brothers moves good or bad or something like that

It’s a little weird to see the Hurt Locker (which is a perfectly good movie, don’t get me wrong) get into the registry 12 years after release and a Clockwork Orange (which is solid in its own right and very, very influential) take nearly 50 years.

As highly as I regard the movie I can’t argue with you. It explains why it’s the only one of the trilogy I like.

That’s why I love the GMC version where the guy buys not one but TWO trucks - his and hers.  So ridiculous.  Never mind the money, my wife would NOT appreciate having no say in her choice of cars.

I just don’t see Lexus doing any type of product integration that openly mocks someone not knowing what APR (also, how common is 0%) is and thinking that $3999 is how much the car costs (i wish they would just say a nice, round number), and the overall “this is really not a great idea for a present” tone of the…

Really? I saw it as an ad to beware of Lexus drivers.

Yeah the comedy here was from bringing real world reactions and consequences into the commercial’s absurd scenario. And then when it seemed to plateau with that, it brought in the neighbor and the extra plotlines to just keep going over the top. I loved this whole bit.

I loved it because I hate the commercial and makes it seem normal that a family can just go and buy a bunch of cars at once and it played in that idea. Not to mention that no parent in a family should just go out and buy a car without checking with the other one first. The wife would have the exact same reaction in…

I really, really didn’t see it as product placement...like at all. 

I don’t think Kate was put in as Fauci because none of the men could do it. I don’t think there was anything heavy about the role. I think Kate gets those types of parts because she’s a big name on the show and enjoys them (I assume) and because Trump got mad about women-dressed-as-men 4 years ago so they have kept on…

Even if it sometimes accurate and properly interpreted, it's not like it went really out on a limb with the predictions.

We could say you're a few complete sentences short of a coherent comment, for starters.
