Bryan Singer's days are numbered. I feel like this is going to start the ball rolling on him. http://www.looper.com/98996/bryan-singer-responds-queen-biopic-firing-ill-parent/

There was a story item that dropped earlier today where Gabriel Byrne revealed that The Usual Suspects was shut down for two days because of Kevin Spacey's inappropriate sexual advancements on a crew member. That's bad enough. But then you remember that Bryan Singer worked with Spacey again on Superman Returns - another production that Singer vanished on mid-shoot - and it feels like there's some serious BINGO coming down the road for him.

I don't think I can watch the Usual Suspects again. Also Apt Pupil - Bryan Singer directing Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro.

I could see the exit of Bryan Singer as a potential pileup for Marvel's film series ambitions down the line.

I don't think Marvel has ever used Singer, just Fox

Rapaport can't get legit movie work anymore so for a bunch of years now he just hangs around saying dumb stuff on social media hoping to get some attention. It rarely works and it's always extremely transparent. For a while he was calling in to the Howard Stern Show just as a way to keep his profile up. At all times he reeks of desperation.

# ? Dec 6, 2017 15:00 |

Yeah, and his whole argument is basically "how dare you make a room full of rich social elites uncomfortable?" But please, Michael, do go on about how John Oliver is a "selfish gently caress," while you yourself handwave Dustin Hoffman's accusers - the very thing Oliver himself blasts Hoffman on during the Q&A.

You really never know where a person is going to end up. If you'd told me in 2000 that Rose McGowan would be a feminist/social justice icon in 2017 I wouldn't have believed you. But here she is and she's loving great at it.

Michael Rapaport is weird but he also yells at nazis on video, he should stick to that and do less protection of powerful monsters Article is great (and as an added bonus, the selection gives the finger to Trump, who last week was claiming he turned down being Man of the Year), biggest problem is the stories are so vast it can't begin to cover everything. Hopefully Singer is down for the count and the other people who have manages to slip by for so long will get yanked off their pedestals one by one. Burn it all the gently caress down.

Moore's gonna win in a landslide too. I'm thinking like a 15-20% gap. The polls are showing his lead is about half that but you know a ton of people don't want to openly admit they're gonna vote for a child molester.

dont even fink about it posted:That's not what the polls say I've seen exactly 1 poll that says Jones is even with Moore, and all the other ones are anywhere from 3point Moore lead to 8 point Moore lead. Anyway my overall point is that polls are bullshit, there are a ton of people in Alabama who can't wait to stick it to the libs by voting for Moore but they just aren't the types who would be polled or even would answer honestly if they were. Moore will win by double digits at a minimum.

I think the Oliver thing got a lot more heated than he even intended it to but once it's out there he couldn't back down from it. I think if Hoffman had given pretty much any other answer they would've moved on from it. Instead, Hoffman says what so many people have said when defending themselves, which is "That's not how I remember it" and "That's not who I am" and of course Oliver is right. If that's what you've done to someone then that is who you are on some level. GonSmithe posted:Looks like Travolta might be next This is basically a non-issue. A division of Lionsgate were going to dump the movie after a very limited release and a consortium bought it up to give it a wide release next year instead.

Yeah, I think the thing to remember about then Oliver/Hoffman thing is that John Oliver is not a stupid man. He knows how to interview. There was an issue hanging in the air, he brought it up, and Hoffman completely whiffed on the response. And the added an extra dose of privilege on top of it. His defense wasn't one of consideration, but on I'm Dustin Hoffman. And that's the exact mindset that is the root of the Weinstein, Spacey, and countless other scandals as of late. The onus wasn't on John Oliver to not make Dustin Hoffman come off like a dismissive prick.

Roy Moore will win, but it won't be the crushing landslide it would have been before this. And then the GOP gets to hear for a year about how they seated a child rapist in the Senate. And seeing some people dismiss what happened with Oliver and Hoffman because of their dislike of Oliver just amazes me.

It’s always funny reading people dismissing Oliver and LWT because “he’s not a real journalist, he’s a comedian”. Motherfucker and his staff do more research on the subject of their segments than most cable journalists do. Cable news is 99% “a thing happened, here’s someone relevant to the thing that happened to give their thoughts on it”. That’s not journalism, that’s interviewing. Meanwhile Oliver and his staff exhaustively research their subjects, give well-written overviews and explanation about the subject, be as fair about the subject as they can (which often isn’t much, given their focus on social injustices), and then make the segment loving hilarious. Colbert and Kimmel snarked about LWT’s Emmys but they loving earned them.

Travolta's Gotti movie cancelled ten days before release, is it because the movie sucks or is there a story that asked him for comment before publishing? Place your bets! http://www.tracking-board.com/lionsgate-drops-john-travoltas-mob-drama-gotti-sells-rights-back-to-producers-exclusive/

Place your bets! i mean, the former is probably true but the answer to "why?" is neither of those. They wanted a big release, Lionsgate shuffled it off to one of it's subsidiaries which was gonna give it a small one, so they got let out of their contract and some big money dude is gonna make sure they get a big release next May. The movie looks like garbage and Travolta is almost certainly someone who has skeletons in his closet, but amazingly neither of those things are the primary reason behind this move.

El Gallinero Gros posted:The longstanding rumour is that she's a beard, so who knows? Pretty much, there's an old TIME piece from the early 90s that's about Scientology and where they stand after Hubbard has died. There's a mention of Travolta in there and his place as a figurehead of the group but how he wanted out of it. It mentions that all of a sudden Travolta decided to stay and then suddenly announced his engagement to Preston, despite the fact no one knew they were dating. It wasn't hard to read between the lines of what they were saying.
