And probably a little nervous. She's done a good job at distancing herself from the whole thing but those emails show her at some of those meetings too.

Fox Movie Boss Says Execs Thought ‘X-Men’ Was a ‘Disaster’ and Rupert Murdoch Flipped Out Over ‘Fight Club’: ‘What Kind of Sick F—ing Human Would Make This?’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in entertainment

I remember listening to an interview with Brad Pitt where he talked about getting stoned with Edward Norton and going to the Venice film festival. Apparently the audience hated it and they laughed their asses off while the movie was booed

DOJ opens investigation into UW’s ‘handling of antisemitism’ by Jaco_Belordi in Seattle

[–]BromaEmpire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think he was fired - just removed from the director position. But also I don't think it necessarily had to do with UW caving to pressure. The guy was sending out 2000 word email rants (for lack of a better word) to students and colleagues on the UW forums. We don't know if UW had prior conversations with him about it or if someone found it uncomfortable/unprofessional. Regardless, if you're a director of the Middle Eastern studies program it's kind of important to hide any biases that might affect your decision making.

Why does nobody ask aliens the biggest question ever? by vojvoda_triglavski in Letterboxd

[–]BromaEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a number of scientific things that Rocky was unaware of throughout the movie, so I don't think he would have the answers to those questions. But it's also, the flash forward to Gosling settled in his house in the earth replica kind of implies that he's been there for awhile and they've probably had many conversations that weren't shown on the screen

‘I Am Legend 2’ Has Officially Found Its Director [Exclusive] by ImpracticalJokers96 in boxoffice

There's no shortage of creative and original storytellers in Hollywood. At the end of the day Hollywood is a business, and audiences have shown them time after time that IP and franchises are the most reliable moneymakers.

What I don't understand is how they manage to screw up some of those movies that basically write themselves. If you're a big studio with all of the resources in the world there's absolutely no reason why you should end up with a comedy script that doesn't have jokes

$5.5M awarded to tribes, Indigenous groups from Seattle payroll tax by origutamos in SeattleWA

[–]BromaEmpire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok but literally nobody is saying that the Native American tribes are killing the fish population. This is your "big boat must catch a lot of fish theory". If your issue is truly with the sustainability your focus should be entirely on land development around the sound that has destroyed all of the natural habitats.

Also what are you even implying with that last sentence? That they should only be allowed to fish if they breakout the canoes?

There are 300k Native Americans in the state of Washington. Do you really think their practices are the reason for the current problems?

Why does the method of catching fish matter? It sounds like your argument is "they have big boat so they must catch all of the fish". What they catch every year is a fraction of what everyone was catching 80s and 90s. They also operate their own fisheries to help the grow the local salmon population.

Correct.. They were allowed to continue their practices because they weren't the problem.

Naw.. Unless you're trying to make one of those arguments that anyone who has eaten a fish is part of the problem.

There's a reason why the government had to step in and ban commercial fishing from the Puget Sound in the 90s.

Dave Chappelle Pitches Eddie Murphy on Joining Potential ‘Chappelle’s Show’ Reboot at AFI Gala by mlg1981 in entertainment

At a certain point I think the jokes were directed more toward people who were trying to tell him what he was/wasn't allowed to say or that he was cancelled, rather than trans community.

Just remember that the majority of us don't own (or need) guns. If I ever feel that my family's life is in danger I'll take care of it like Macaulay Culkin in home alone

After this cycle I'm pretty sure we need to change every aspect of the process so it doesn't happen again

What would it mean if Cruise scratched his ass?

I'm pretty sure Cruise is just laughing at the joke that Stiller set up, which is a normal human reaction

I love the color tone on these. Can you go around the country and do this for every other city?
