I mean in the case of Buffy it was pretty much the entire cast calling him an rear end in a top hat so there's that too.

I'm not gonna say the Snyder cut of Justice League is particularly good, but it's definitely better than the Whedon cut, and if two different cast members call you an rear end in a top hat, you're an rear end in a top hat. One employee, maybe they're the rear end in a top hat, maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Two, you're the loving rear end in a top hat.

The snyder cut is great, but putting that aside, claiming with a straight face that Cyborgs story "didn't make sense" and that Fishers performance is bad is insane when we can not only compare Whedons poo poo to the real deal and judge for ourselves, but also because Rays performance was universally liked and praised, and his extended scenes well received.

That's putting aside the fact that Charisma carpenter, and several stunt people from both Buffy and JL (and also thr dude that plays spike an Dawn) came out and said he was an rear end in a top hat

Anyway yeah Snyder cut isn’t very good but Fisher’s scenes and performance are cool, definitely doesn’t make sense to blame it on him

Didn't Michelle Trachtenberg say that while filming Buffy there was an unofficial rule that Whedon wasn't allowed to be alone with her? I'm surprised that didn't get more traction.

He’s probably trying to pin it on fisher because Fisher has been the most outspoken about how hosed and abusive the JL shoot was, and has already made himself a target of WB as a whole.

Hopefully this will be the straw the broke the camel's back and we'll finally be rid of Whedon. Probably not though.

I had a 5mm kidney stone last may and after two days of incredible pain and a brief ER stay where they gave me the maximum medically advisable dose of dilaudid, I found out from x-rays my urologist ordered that I have two more waiting in the wings, one in each kidney, both in the 6-7mm range, that are too big to pass and will require either ultrasonic disruption or surgery. So, that’s been a fun bit of anxiety hanging over me every time I have the slightest amount of abdominal pain.

Holy poo poo. I'd rather loving die. Mine was about 2mm. I think the one still in there is 3 or 4 and then there are a couple baby ones in the other kidney.

Somebody in another thread said it best: that interview is what happens when a narcissist fully embraces his own web of self-serving distortions and equivocations and begins to believe that all he needs to do to get people on his side is explain things more so that they’ll understand everything, which in a sense is true, but not in the sense he thinks it will.

That guy is a monster, moreso than I had believed prior to reading the article, and most of it comes as a confession directly from the man himself.

There's also the part where it talks about how a family friend "went missing" when he was 5 and the kid was 4, and how months later his body turned up in a pond. After that he says something like "I invited him to come play with me at that pond and then left him there."

All he had to do was not say that. He’s probably the only person alive who even knows that story. Just lie, Josh.

“I got stood up for prom.”

Somehow I don’t think it actually keeps him up at night, or that he cares at all, but he knows that it leaves an impression on normal people when he tells it. That therapist is teaching him all kinds of things.

My assumption is that he showed the kid that pond, and then months later the kid drowned there and not like Josh was going "hey come play in this pond 4 year old, bye!" and then nobody asked "where were you playing with him today, because he's missing."

The only good thing he ever did is good in spite of him not because of him. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a fun movie because the studio didn't let him have full control and he had an amazing cast. Especially Paul loving Reubens. Naturally he's said many times that he hates the movie.
