He continued: “But I guess you can go ahead and wear a fat suit and do what you got to do and get your Oscar. We’ll just sit here, waiting.”

While there’s certainly a fair point to be made about straight actors playing gay parts, IIRC hasn’t Brendan Fraser been quite open with regards to his struggles with weight and eating disorders throughout his career? If so, that would certainly seem to suggest he would have some valid insight into playing a character…

How many 600 lbs actors are there? At a certain point prosthetics seem like the only reasonable option.

These are also the same people who inflicted the Imagine-Celebrity video on innocent, unsuspecting children. NEVER FORGET! 

And there are people who are being forced to stay away from work, without pay, whether they have the virus or not. They might like to imagine money doesn’t, but that won’t help when their landlords want to evict them.

Because out-of-touch people are mildly annoying when your life is fine. They are deeply obnoxious when your life is scary and you feel powerless. 

Definitely that too.

Gal Godot is also a zionist bigot, so there’s that

The fact that they picked (imho) one of the worst songs ever doesn’t help things much either....

It’s just one of those moments where people are not in the mood for this shit. It’s always annoying when the rich and famous do the “we’re just like you” shtick, but when the rest of us have to still go to work because getting sick is less scary than becoming homeless and some normal people can’t get tested until…

Everybody’s in no mood

I feel like the level of piss was perfect! Pete is a cynical corporate politician trying to extend his 15 minutes. He needs our discouragement

Dude, you may be an American, and I know there’s an aversion, but READ for fuck’s sake.

Good job not understanding at all what he was going after. It had nothing to do with streaming services and everything to do with who runs them.

Jesus, people around here are really, really, really fucking stupid.

It’s almost like “scrambling for wokeness” was the first and only thing that occurred to Barsanti. For some reason.

The “woke” comment was massively off base. If anything he was criticizing the false virtue signaling that these Hollywood actors tend to point out, not saying he is more woke. He is saying the fake wokeness is tiring, which it is. I mean lets be honest when Harvey Weinstein was such an open secret Entourage makes fun…

Was my take as well. He never says he is more Woke and never pretends to be but I loved him ripping them for all working with Weinstein and not doing anything about it. That is so true and them being Epstein’s friends. I thought he was great.

Gervais interrupted himself with a little rant about how everyone in the audience is a hypocrite for working with big companies like Amazon and Netflix and Apple and how nobody has the right to thank any of these companies in their speeches because none of the actors in attendance went to school.

Lukewarm take: The movie is not bad, but it is a superficial adaptation of a deeper work. 

I'm a weirdo who loves the book and still thinks the movie is also pretty good. I'm looking forward to this show. I've got the fanboy curse.
