Don't worry, I'm sure that he'll find some work. Maybe the Big Bang Theory could cast him as a new zany character?

EDIT: Okay, him joining Agents of Shield would actually be pretty loving cool.

It really isn't. If Sony owns a media outlet saying Sony is thinking about doing something, the story confirms itself.

But it's not Sony saying they're doing something. It's a publishing arm making up fake news that makes the company look good.

But I forgot it's Sony, and they're not an American company, and it's a subsidiary of a subsidiary, so I'm waaaaay out of my knowledge base here.

One good trend I'm seeing in Hollywood these days is there seems to be a good network for comedy actors to do smaller projects together- whether it's Internet crap or small-scale shows like Childrens Hospital or indie movies, it's not the same as a regular network gig or movie role but it's a way to stay out there.

I don't think that's what he's saying. I think he's arguing that it would be questionable if Sony were using its publishing arm to manipulate its stock price through favorable news, not that it's against the law to print untrue things.

The first season is very good and stands on its own as one of the best shows HBO has ever produced. The second season suffers from Dunham buying into her own hype and the third from having an inconsistent voice. My recommendation is to watch the first season and then pretend Lena Dunham was decapitated in a horrific bus accident before she could ever make a second.

It seems very hit-or-miss for most people. You should give it a try, but there's no need to force yourself to press on if you're not enjoying it after the first couple.

Fixed your quote.

Lena Dunham is the new Kevin Smith only ten times faster because it's the internet age. Her talent was immediately engulfed by a fanbase that she can now play to for the rest of her life. Like Dan Harmon but without the part where his fans both hate him and want him to get better, but also enjoy the car crash of his existence in the meantime. Imagine if his fans kept encouraging him to crash his emotion-car more.

Still rooting for her, though, even if I don't like the show anymore.

Now that he's out of work, it's very possible. Although the deal clearly states it for Ebay proceeds only. Figured I'd find a loop hole in our contract.

ASK ME ABOUT CROSSING THE STREAMS


""""It may not be dead yet. Deadline reports that Hulu is in preliminary talks with Sony Television about reviving the show for another season. It's important to note that the key word there is preliminary and it's not yet a done deal by any remote possibility, but there are discussions.

This would be a huge get for Hulu, which has done all right in terms of original content but has not had a breakout hit and has fallen behind Netflix and Amazon despite being the first of the streaming services to produce original content with Battleground in 2012. The show has done exceptionally well on Hulu which means that they have a fanbase zeroed in and getting the show could lead to a big jump in subscribers, the way that Netflix saw a boost with Arrested Development (not to mention House of Cards and Orange is the New Black).

Sony has a good track record for reviving cancelled shows, taking Damages to DirecTV after FX cancelled it, convincing CBS to revive Unforgettable after it was cancelled and fighting hard to get NBC and CBS to renew Community and Rules of Engagement season after season despite being on the bubble.""""
