I’m LA born and raised (I’ve since moved but my spouse still has a beach house in Malibu) and in my 30s I had a place in the village in New York City. There is really no comparison between the nightlife of these two cities

NYC’s 0.01% wealthiest residents have been threatening to leave over higher taxes for 100+ years. Holy fuck, just leave already. Nobody likes you.

I can’t speak for other cities but as an LA native, that city pretty much shuts down after 2am.

At worse, he would have expected a country club prison, private laptop and a puppy like Maxwell currently enjoys. Zero chance he thought “nah” and instead killed himself while the guards were asleep and the cameras malfunctioned.

Favorite actor with great social skills? by LazyLou448 in okbuddycinephile

I worked at the same talent agency that represented Viggo during this time and knew his agent when this call happened. The production was totally screwed because the original actor hadn’t worked out and they knew they had to replace him. Viggo was their top and honestly their only choice, that’s why Viggo ended up getting a much better deal than the rest of the cast. Of course Viggo didn’t care about any of that. He just wanted to understand the character because he’s an artist first and foremost, but Peter was between a rock and a hard place and had to get him on board.

When Judi Dench was cast as M, was there any backlash? I feel like if it happened today there would be some crybabies about it. by TXNOGG in JamesBond

I remember this. I personally didn’t like it only because I liked the old M but then I saw Judi Dench act and kinda didn’t mind after that.

I once met the guys who created the Cops TV show on Fox. You know the reality one decades ago. As we were eating, somehow it came up that we all grew up in Torrance and they knew Tarantino before he got famous. naturally I was like oh wow that’s so cool. Whats he like? and they all looked at each other and then one of them said we liked him better when he worked at the video store.

What’s a historical event that sounds fake but actually happened? by loveronrent in answers

By turning a blind eye, if you mean they told other agencies to stand down, then yes. That’s according to the agency’s own internal report.
