I got him mixed up with Josh Trank and thought he was the one who made Capone for a little bit. I only mention this because while in the process of looking this up I found out Colin Trevorrow still has a story by credit for Rise of Skywalker.

I really do wonder how much, if any, of his ideas made it into the final cut. Its still loving unreal to me how much of a shitshow that whole production was.

His script leaked a while back. From reading a synopsis it would have definitely made for a better movie than what we got but a good one? Nah

considering how Disney keeps trying to memoryhole The Sweatbox it's a shame we'll never get to find out most of these hosed up productions other than some hushed whispers, until that day Disney no longer controls most of the media we consume which is unlikely to happen this generation

The poster also might be talking about the whole "Everyone in LA has known for years that working on the Ellen show is the absolute shittiest working environment in TV" thing, where it came out that, amongst other blatantly psycho/abusive things, employees were not allowed to make eye contact with Ellen.

And it was right in the middle of all that blowing up that she declared being quarantined in her $20 million home was horrible, worse than prison.

I recently discovered that there is an insane conspiracy theory that Benedict Cumberbatch isn't actually married, his kids are either adopted or nonexistent, and, for whatever reason, untangling this conspiracy is done with all the grave seriousness of investigating the JFK assassination. At first, I thought it was crazy Sherlock fans who think Cumberbatch must be gay to fit with their fanfiction, but no, it seems like they despise him and think he's doing it for sympathy? I have no idea.

I might be tired of Cumberbatch and have no love for him as Dr. Strange, but holy poo poo do I enjoy utterly bizarre celebrity conspiracies being militantly shared on Twitter.

e. should note, they obviously hate his wife as well, alleging she's a prostitute and having a lot of misogynistic attacks there, but the people I saw on Twitter were acting like Cumberbatch was some kind of devious schemer trying to trick the world into thinking he was married and had kids for... some reason.

There is similar conspiracies with the Supernatural actors but that's mostly due to fanfic fans going off the deep end, for some reason Cumberbatch fits in with that same fantype so it's cool they've just gone full CumbAnon

Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.
I knew Ellen was a lovely person, but the no eye contact thing is seriously :psyduck:

I'd completely forgotten about her horrible comments regarding quarantine, too. Like, I get trying to make a joke to lighten the mood or whatever, that's fine, but maybe don't compare your home to a prison when it's far more lavish than what 95% of your viewers have.

And change your loving clothes, that's just gross.

Every generation is going to have people who just never learned common stuff until way late. Twenty years ago a guy at my middle school sincerely believed Nazi Germany dropped atomic bombs on the US and WW2 ended with us surrendering to the Japanese. He would have fit right in with that video, and his closer proximity to the event should make it even more egregious. On top of that, some people are never going to learn ever or care to remember.

Pretty sure this guy will get fired if even one parent is able to identify their kid in this.

Also pretty sure he hasn't taught these kids, teachers are all about being outraged at the terrible job other teachers do.

Also also pretty sure those kids aren't that old, and it's kind of lovely to make fun of sixth-graders for not knowing that stuff.

So gently caress that guy.
