It was indeed a gross, weird time. I remember the count downs, and the expectation that eventually, any and all young starlets would have to “show off the goods” via some scantily clad magazine cover.

Yeah, that ticking clock shit was so gross. Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool News had one for Hayden Panettierre during the first season of Heroes; he also wrote a super gross article where he theorized that because her character healed herself no matter what, her hymen would grow back after each sexual encounter and…

For Kutcher and Kunis, too, their actions this week are enough to condemn on their own, even if their actions don’t reach the severity of which Masterson has been convicted.

Yeah this doesn’t actually create more billable work for them, other than fielding irate phone calls and watching her career circling the drain. They won’t be able to get paid if she doesn’t have any work. I doubt she’s on anyone’s short list for future roles.

Iirc, his lawyers are going to attempt an appeal? So they were probably instructed when writing the letter to not express any hint at believing he actually did the things he was convicted of doing. Regardless of whether they believed he did it.

It's also why computer programs have such shitty user interfaces. 

How was he able to bring a camera into the room during the c-section? Shame on him and that hospital and doctors for allowing it. 

Likely something along the lines of “Let’s do more cocaine.”

I think some people might take the lesson from this that being successful at business and engineering often comes from someone who thinks differently from other people and breaks social norms.

Because fans have forgotten the narrative truth that the unexplained creates imaginative magic.

Musk sharing further proof of him being a sociopath is an odd choice. Of course his ego overrides any sort of embarrassment at behavior that defies rational thought.

Why do we keep trying to explain the force when Yoda did so perfectly in Empire?

Ironically, that’s the opposite of what happened to the X-Files - they tied up the alien-invasion mythology in the middle of Season 6 (the Syndicate, the alien bounty hunters, the alien rebels, the black oil, Mulder’s family, the whole shebang), but they didn’t have a good puzzle for the rest of the series. It just…

The epitome of JJ is Maz Kanata’s line in The Force Awakens: “A good question...for another time”. That there is peak JJ.

IIRC the main story arc of the alien war gets resolved near the middle of the series, and it’s handled pretty well.

Rudy gets 1% as a loan

You left out his getaway and retirement plans for some non-extradition country once it looks like he’s about to be locked up.

Running Hair Dye, AKA Rudy, has long been a pitiful excuse for a human being. As a US Attorney, he perped walked executives who he then had to release due to lack of evidence - and ruined their lives. I met this POS when he first ran for Mayor of NYC and politely asked him a question about NYC government. Rather than…

If they raked in $1M, that means 10 people showed up. Aside from Ginny Thomas, who else would be dumb enough to pay that?

You have to realise that, although each plate was $100k, The Donald has expenses to cover - admin fees, payment processing, currency hedging reserves, taxes, bribes, etc. - which means that Rudy only got about 1% of the take :-)
