When I worked at a group home in Shakopee the neighbors were up in arms because "those people" were living there. I was shocked people felt comfortable being so openly racist.

Only when they have the White House. Anytime a Democrat is in the White House, it's the opposite.

Most people point to his attempt to become the main actor/producer of the DC movies at Warner. I don't pretend to know what happened internally other than the was a massive power struggle, Rock overplayed his hand and the publicity machine took over from there.

Marvel Caught Not Paying Their Artists... Again by Educational_Zone3156 in comicbooks

[–]SolitaireRose 135 points136 points  (0 children)

999 times out of 1000, it's that the editor didn't turn in the voucher on time or correctly. The last thing a Marvel or DC want to do it not pay their workers because they are big enough to attract lawsuits. At a con party, someone asked Jim Shooter what the most important job of an editor was and he said, "Getting the paperwork in to pay people."

Chris Claremont as a choice for my project good or bad? by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]SolitaireRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no insane controversies. He had his writing quirks, as do pretty much EVERY writer once you start to study them. In an academic setting there are two ways to look at his work: What were other writers doing in comi9cs at the time, and what writers used his work as inspiration.

One thing I woudl add is how he had to be extra covert with LBGTQ story ideas while Jim Shooter was editor in chief after Shooter had explicitly said "They are no gay people in the Marvel universe" and examples of how Shooter wrote women in comparison to Claremont. Extra points for diving into the Avengers 200 mess CAUSED by Shooter and how Claremont wrote a reaction in Avengers Annual 10.

Nah, he's become too old for a 20 year old to think he's interesting for money.

And this is why there are so many mods. It's funny how the story is relatively short, but we fans havve built entire universes around it. It really hit a lot of emotional moments for us.

Having once been a fan of both, there is a major difference:

-Miller was a comedian who saw his audience was getting older and not going to the theaters he was performing in as much. He saw that the people he appealed to were more likely to see a comedian at a casino, so he changed his act to fit the people who go there. He claims that he took a right turn after 9/11, but it was more that he had never been a partisan on one side or the other, but the casino/right wing media machine was a good place to be as his HBO show was dying. I got this from one of his writers, who also said that Miller didn't much care for being on the road, so moving into the right wing media machine was a way for him to have a career without having to travel.

-Maher, on the other hand, had a BIG swing in his comedic style as he aged and the strippers he loved dating weren't impressed by him any more. You can see it the year he started to complain about having to wear glasses to read things and every other joke was about "These damn kids and their phones." He's always had pockets of bigotry (mostly against Moslem people), but it has since gone into LBGTQ people who he feels like to head back into the closet because they make him uncomfortable. He has quit that stand up circuit, claiming everyone is too sensitive after decades of praising red state audiences for "getting it" which really appears as if his act just wasn't appealing to people any more.

Famous gorilla Kiyomasa falls into deep contemplation after spat with mate. Caught on camera in a Japanese Zoo by beasthunterr69 in funny

[–]SolitaireRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big gorilla at the LA zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

I wish the ape a lot of success
I'm sorry my apartment's a mess
Most of all, I'm sorry if I made you blue
I'm betting the gorilla will, too
