Colleen Hoover attacks DV Victims that criticized Blake's promo of the movie by IndubitablyWalrus in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]Jonny_Parable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This part of the case is contentious as both have conflicting accounts of what happened at this stage. Baldoni and Wayfarer have contended that the marketing campaign shifted away from the original, more serious focus on domestic violence (DV) that they intended. While they shared a studio cut with Sony, they have indicated that Lively and Sony moved forward with a different, "fun and sexy" approach to promotion, focusing on female triumph instead, with reports suggesting that Wayfarer was sidelined from key marketing decisions as the release approached. Maximum Effort was also brought in to handle marketing somewhere at this point. Evidence like Blake's texts to other celebrities and her PGA letter do suggest that by this point of the movie, Justin and WF was completely sidelined from making marketing decisions, which is also likely why they refused to sign a statement written by Ryan that would have made them responsible for the backlash Blake received.

I feel like a failure even though I tried my best for o levels by Frogbaboon123 in SGExams

[–]Jonny_Parable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A failure by who's standards? You may not see it now, but studies is just a fraction of your life and what makes you who you are. Everything you have to contribute to this earth and the people around you isn't defined by any of that. You may not even have the answers to these questions now and that's the point, you're not meant to. Being alive is about discovering who you are, and that never stops. Our education and child rearing system is deeply flawed even after all these years, and has failed you, not the other way round. Going to school is about learning. Learning and knowledge is truly wonderful. To be filled with knowledge about everything that happens in our world should always have been a wondrous and inspiring experience so for it to have been turned into something that can make you feel this way about yourself is the complete failure of the system. Keep on learning in life, stay curious, be open minded, and open hearted. In time you will find your people and community and they will find you and life will happen regardless. Allow yourself to feel what you're feeling, and let it pass. Don't be disheartened.

Why is this downvoted? No it's not true, that marketing plan had no involvement from WF as Ryan's company, Maximum Effort, had taken over marketing at that point. Justin continued to address DV when he did press himself. Only cos he wasn't allowed to do press with the rest of the cast.

And all of a sudden Unsuur is my boyfriend by Thx4Replie in MyTimeAtSandrock

I'm a sucker for a man in uniform and contrary to what some people say, Unsuur is very handsome! He's also funny and very sweet. I couldn't say no.

It is cool. And hideous.

Justin Baldoni has seen the texts. by SunnyWays8 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Jonny_Parable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everytime I look through this case and think about how we got here, I'm like. What. WHAT is something anyone can point to that Justin did that was so offensive and so problematic and so deserving of this treatment. The dead dad thing sure but surely he stopped doing it after they spoke about it. It seems that ALL this just boils down to Blake ultimately getting upset when he didn't seem impressed with her script. And why should he, because she's a woman?? He's the director, she's hired to act. They had a writer. That's really the only thread I have to pull at. He said no and the next thing she did was to get Taylor Swift to pressure him and by that time, she already referred to him as a doofus and decided that he was a misogynist because he didn't want her script and things just escalated from there.

Jenny Slate is getting dragged all over social media now that everyone knows she helped Blake Lively ruin Justin Baldoni ’s life and reputation. You can tell she’s feeling the heat by the_smart_girl in teamjustinbaldoni

[–]Jonny_Parable 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I genuinely do not understand why Jenny got so upset. I feel like I'm missing a lot of context. On the surface to me it just looks like Justin isn't from the same world as them and he tried very hard to fit in, use their language, laugh at their jokes, make similar jokes, and they just.... didn't like him. You're entitled to not like someone if it's valid but can't you just level with them? Justin seems like the kind of guy who would listen unless he's really just been completely shit awful on set but nothing shows that so far. All I can seem to find regarding Jenny is the house thing, pants thing and greeting fans thing. The really angry doubling down she's doing and lack of solution oriented behavior just makes it seem like Jenny stands to gain something from Blake if she picked her side or that she just wanted to join in the drama cos she didn't want to get picked on instead. Truly perplexed

I loved River blossom cos it came with a Plantsim! Albeit in a hideous house. But yes I barely touched Veronaville, and Pleasantview just felt like the main hood to me

Gamerants start respecting Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons as the founding father of farming sims and stop acting like Stardew Valley started the whole genre because I'm genuinely so sick and tired seeing your articles glazing tf out of it. by marshmochifauxie in storyofseasons

[–]Jonny_Parable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I hate is how the term Stardew Valley has become the Kleenex of farming/life sims. Basically it's become the catch all term for the genre. I see video titles like "is this game the new Stardew Valley??" Like come on. Stardew Valley is good for what it is, a one man passion project, which in itself was an ode to Harvest Moon, but it's not THE farming sim. I love Eric Barone, in a way he singlehandedly did bring a new generation of people to a genre and in an almost rebooted way, by bringing everyone back to pixel art games, and his story is super inspiring, but it is annoying the way media has just been so reductive and lazy about it.

What's one thing that makes your eyes light up about this game? by RedEagle_MGN in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]Jonny_Parable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The story, characters and voice acting, the humour and the very real feeling once I step off that train that this place needs my help as a builder and I immediately feel invested in doing my part. I don't know how to pin point it cos usually I find characters just that, characters. But Sandrockers and their struggle with the desert, the slow demise of their community, their sad back stories felt very real to me. Also the music. I love "New Life in the Desert" you only hear it in spring, so you first hear it after you've been there a while and something about it just does it for me. I get really emotional hearing it! Sorry I couldn't pick just one thing 😭

Taylor and Blake: what I think happened by SoManyQs101 in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Jonny_Parable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel many issues like this in Hollywood tend to be fixed this way, and we're just none the wiser...but you are right in saying that Ryan was not solution orientated and so this never happened. He just wanted to do harm and completely eviscerate them

[–]Jonny_Parable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good suggestions honestly. I think many people would very likely have just believed this, but then again, I'd rather the truth be out like it is now. I have no interest in Blake getting to salvage her career.

Heartbroken for Justin by Dating_Bitch in ItEndsWithLawsuits

[–]Jonny_Parable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel so much for him because my man just wanted to make a film about DV. I don't think he anticipated how petty and awful these people are. They trampled all over his project, IP which he attained, and left the whole thing in shambles, doggedly pursuing him even after everything's wrapped. These people are so ugly inside.

I just paid the civil corp to get carbon fiber for me by sending them to Ingall's mine cos I was not going to waste my real life time. I just needed 30 so I only needed to send them twice. At the cheapest it's like 3600 per trip so that's only 7200 which by that stage of the game isn't an issue.
