Realtalk: I don't know if anything depresses me as much as The Soup (and to a similar degree Talk Soup) vanishing into the goddamn void. E! chucked it off a cliff and it's a weird rights issue with the clips from other locales, so I see why it isn't streaming in perpetuity, but this was a regular series with a lot of excellent jokes getting copyright claimed into oblivion online that pirates rarely bothered to capture and archive regularly, even when it was running.

I miss being able to search for clips of it and having the slightest bit of success at finding, say, Jane Lynch and Joel flawlessly stabbing Under the Dome through its stupid, stupid heart week after week.

If you're looking for kidsafe naval battles, you'd honestly be better off looking at Hornblower rather than Black Sails.

(Hornblower is good, people should watch Hornblower.)

I like Hornblower a lot too but it's totally British propaganda because it makes the Spanish and the French look like scumbags while making British colonialism honorable.

What gets me is that they didn't bother to dub out Elton John (or is that someone else singing a cover? Doesn't *quite* sound right) but still had him singing along. Nobody's gonna sound good like that unless they're a professional trained to blend.

To be fair, they were replicating the UK series, and that was its style.

Ah you're well into the good part of the season now. Warning: I think that the first season finale doesn't quite work, despite its ambitions, but the journey there is gutwrenching, and the second season keeps the pace up.

(On top of being a ubiquitous Canadian, Ryan Robbins is friends with Simon Barry, so he turns up in everything he does. I wouldn't be surprised if Luvia Peterson turned up in Van Helsing's third season as well.)

I�ve never wanted to kill a man more in my life.

Eliza Dushku posted:

When I was 12 years old, while filming �True Lies�, I was sexually molested by Joel Kramer, one of Hollywood�s leading stunt coordinators.

Ever since, I have struggled with how and when to disclose this, if ever. At the time, I shared what happened to me with my parents, two adult friends and one of my older brothers. No one seemed ready to confront this taboo subject then, nor was I.
I am grateful to the women and men who have gone before me in recent months. The ever-growing list of sexual abuse and harassment victims who have spoken out with their truths have finally given me the ability to speak out. It has been indescribably exhausting, bottling this up inside me for all of these years.

I remember, so clearly 25 years later, how Joel Kramer made me feel special, how he methodically built my and my parents� trust, for months grooming me; exactly how he lured me to his Miami hotel room with a promise to my parent that he would take me for a swim at the stunt crew�s hotel pool and for my first sushi meal thereafter. I remember vividly how he methodically drew the shades and turned down the lights; how he cranked up the air-conditioning to what felt like freezing levels, where exactly he placed me on one of the two hotel room beds, what movie he put on the television (Coneheads); how he disappeared in the bathroom and emerged, naked, bearing nothing but a small hand towel held flimsy at his mid-section. I remember what I was wearing (my favorite white denim shorts, thankfully, secured enough for me to keep on). I remember how he laid me down on the bed, wrapped me with his gigantic writhing body, and rubbed all over me. He spoke these words: �You�re not going to sleep on me now sweetie, stop pretending you�re sleeping,� as he rubbed harder and faster against my catatonic body. When he was �finished�, he suggested, �I think we should be careful�,� [about telling anyone] he meant. I was 12, he was 36.

I remember how afterwards, the taxi driver stared at me in the rear view mirror when Joel Kramer put me on his lap in the backseat and clutched me and grew aroused again; and how my eyes never left the driver�s eyes during that long ride over a Miami bridge, back to my hotel and parent. I remember how Joel Kramer grew cold with me in the ensuing weeks, how everything felt different on the set.

And I remember how soon-after, when my tough adult female friend (in whom I had confided my terrible secret on the condition of a trade that she let me drive her car around the Hollywood Hills) came out to the set to visit and face him, later that very same day, by no small coincidence, I was injured from a stunt-gone-wrong on the Harrier jet. With broken ribs, I spent the evening in the hospital. To be clear, over the course of those months rehearsing and filming True Lies, it was Joel Kramer who was responsible for my safety on a film that at the time broke new ground for action films. On a daily basis he rigged wires and harnesses on my 12 year old body. My life was literally in his hands: he hung me in the open air, from a tower crane, atop an office tower, 25+ stories high. Whereas he was supposed to be my protector, he was my abuser.

Why speak out now? I was 12, he was 36. It is incomprehensible. Why didn�t an adult on the set find his predatory advances strange � that over-the-top special attention he gave me. Fairly early on he nicknamed me �Jailbait� and brazenly called me by this name in a sick flirty way in front of others (at the time, I remember asking one of my older brothers what it meant). Sure, I�ve come to understand the terrible power dynamics that play into whistle-blowing by �subordinates� against persons in power, how difficult it can be for someone to speak up. But I was a child. Over the years I�ve really struggled as I�ve wondered how my life might have been different if someone, any one grown-up who witnessed his sick ways, had spoken up before he lured me to that hotel room.

Years ago, I had heard second hand that Joel Kramer was �found out� and forced to leave the business. I learned recently that in fact he still works at the top of the industry. And a few weeks ago, I found an internet photo of Joel Kramer hugging a young girl. That image has haunted me near nonstop since. I can no longer hide what happened.

Hollywood has been very good to me in many ways. Nevertheless, Hollywood also failed to protect me, a child actress. I like to think of myself as a tough Boston chick, in many ways I suppose not unlike Faith, Missy, or Echo. Through the years, brave fans have regularly shared with me how some of my characters have given them the conviction to stand up to their abusers. Now it is you who give me strength and conviction. I hope that speaking out will help other victims and protect against future abuse.

With every person that speaks out, every banner that drops down onto my iphone screen disclosing similar stories/truths, my resolve strengthens. Sharing these words, finally calling my abuser out publicly by name, brings the start of a new calm.

Spatula City: Oct 21, 2010; LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING

So I hadn't bothered to watch any Black Mirror except San Junipero (heard romance and 80's pop figured heavily, must-watch), but recently I watched USS Callister and Hang the DJ. Preferred the former to the latter, but both were fun riffs on the same sort of idea, and more to the point, were less grim than the hype led me to believe about Black Mirror. Which other Black Mirror episodes aren't super-grim? I just ain't in the mood for really dark twists or characters put through the ringer. okay, USS Callister actually gets pretty horrifying, but it's buoyed by being a rip into the nice guy trope, with a bona fide happy ending, and a tremendous performance by Cristin Milioti (who really deserves her own show, she's got loads of charisma to spare).
