- Strictly on a "quote" level, she hasn't worked as much as Duchovny during the interim - slipping jimmy Jan 22, 13:07 30
  - she has Hannibal and The Fall, plus criical acclaim. He had a piece of shit show on skinimax -- nm - Beaker Jan 22, 13:26
  - She's a movie star. He's a TV star. -- nm - Mop Jan 22, 13:10 15
    - What movies? She moved to England to raise her family - slipping jimmy Jan 22, 13:12 13
      - And conitinued working. Including a Masterpiece Theater series, stage, and a show that lasted less than one year on NBC. -- nm - nic to be determined Jan 22, 13:21 6
        
        Hannibal was 2 - maybe 3? - seasons, surprisingly. -- nm - Mop Jan 22, 13:27 1
        
        diffrent one...kidnapped kids in DC -- nm - nic to be determined Jan 22, 13:30

        Neither is Duchovny. -- nm - nic to be determined Jan 22, 13:22 2
        
        but no-one said he was. read up the thread, we were responding to Mop calling her a movie star. - Andie Jan 22, 13:24 1

        Angelina Jolie? Completely different. One's a redhead. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:21

    - she isn't. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 13:12
  - I'm curious now if she accepted that offer. It doesn't really say just that's what they offered her - oblique Jan 22, 13:10 2
    - "(Sources told the Hollywood Reporter Anderson and Duchovny ultimately took home equal pay for the event series.)" -- nm - Max Jan 22, 13:11 1
      - Well, they are shacking up now so both checks go to the same home. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:12
  - They're a pair. The series is about the two of them. Filmographies should be irrelevant in that conversation. -- nm - Max Jan 22, 13:08 8
    - Not how actors pay works, leaving gender aside -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 22, 13:09 7
      - In this case gender was not left aside. She was offered less because she's female. -- nm - nic to be determined Jan 22, 13:52 5
        
        No, but okay -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 22, 13:56 4
        
        Unless they made the same offer to Duchovny you're wrong. -- nm - nic to be determined Jan 22, 14:01 3
        
        if Michelle Williams and James Van Der Beek did a series together, who do you think would get paid more? - Andie Jan 22, 14:08 2
        
        And I bet in both your cases the men get an offer that's more than half that of the women. -- nm* - nic to be determined Jan 22, 14:25
        
        History, I seem to remember that at some point in the original run Duchovny threatened to quit if she wasn't paid the same as he was. - nic to be determined Jan 22, 14:12
      - David walked away from the series, she did not. Gotta pay him to get him back. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:12
  - Spoken like Glen Frey on the Eagles Reunion. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:08
- Half of *Duchovny* pay. That sounds about right. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:06
During Top Chef last night, I started wondering if any of the contestants were tattoo-free. I'm 93% sure the answer is no -- nm - prayformojo Jan 22, 13:05 4
- I'm sure some if them are trying to make themselves as unappetizing as possible -- nm - Big Zebowgeiski Jan 22, 13:18

  - I think I hear Tom Thibadeau's music. -- nm - pmb Jan 22, 13:52 1
    - I'd expect something like that, which is what giving Lue a 3 year contract seems really weird -- nm - prayformojo Jan 22, 14:11
- So, what did he do? -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 13:06 8
  - the Warriros destroyed them the other night -- nm - Beaker Jan 22, 13:37
  - I actually think this has been coming a while. He has a great record because he has an extremely talented team. There were multiple occassions last - pmb Jan 22, 13:37 2
    - He's like Gino from UCONN then. Dude should win a championship every effin year with that talent -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 14:07
    - true - and ESPN loved showing these moments. (it was embarrassing) -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 13:44
  - had no explanation for why they got crushed by the warriors? and/or maybe because lebron said he should be gone? -- nm - b. Jan 22, 13:37 2
    - I think getting destroyed by the warriors was the last straw. It made them see that talent alone wasn't getting it done. -- nm - pmb Jan 22, 13:38 1
      - well of course Warriors will destroy Cavaliers. Everytime. Have these folks no sense of history, rank or place? -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 13:43
  - Had the nerve to be leading the Eastern Conference at the halfway point. Sack him, of course. -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 13:08
- With a record like 30-11 this season and 83-40 overall, I can see why -- nm - decline Jan 22, 13:03 2
  - You mean 39-4 vs 30-11 and 106-19 vs 83-40. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:05
  - That's like 8 seasons worth of wins for the 76ers. -- nm - David Jan 22, 13:04
- That...is dumb. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 22, 13:03
- Assistant Ty Lue has agreed to a multi-year deal as new Cavaliers head coach, league sources tell Yahoo Sports. -- (link) - budice Jan 22, 13:01
- That's kind of out of nowhere. -- nm - David Jan 22, 13:01 1
  - yeah -- nm - prayformojo Jan 22, 13:03
- He probably forgot to stock LeBron's favorite flavor of Powerade. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 13:00
- Just make it official and let Bron-Bron be player-coach. -- nm - ML Jan 22, 12:59 1
  - Phil Jackson rumors in 3.. 2... 1.... -- nm - Oswaldo MoBarony Jan 22, 13:11

      - His arc was...odd. - Dignan Jan 22, 13:33 1
        
        (and I have to think he's pretty embarrassed about this role.) nm - Dignan Jan 22, 13:34
    - Which one of his lines would you say was the worst? -- nm - Max Jan 22, 13:23 1
      - His lines were perfectly "generic bad guy." nm - Dignan Jan 22, 13:25
    - He is the worst. - Dark Callisto Jan 22, 13:23
  - She was thinking how much better having sex with me would have been -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 22, 13:05 1
    - She was *that* awful? -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:06
  - loved it (I've watched it at least a dozen times). One of my favorite YA books too -- nm - decline Jan 22, 13:04 10
    - *blink* -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 13:22
    - I...I...literally can't understand this. - Dignan Jan 22, 13:11 7
      - The main element of the movie doesn't even make sense (spoiler) - Dignan Jan 22, 13:20 4

      - I've watched the sequels and still can't make any sense of why being Divergent is relevant even within context of its universe - Max Jan 22, 13:17 1
        
        Being divergent essentially means being human. nm - Dignan Jan 22, 13:21
    - was there supposed to be a joke nick for this post? -- nm - Max Jan 22, 13:09
  - "gotta get paid." -- nm - amanda jonas Jan 22, 13:02
  - *beep beep beep* -- nm - money truck Jan 22, 13:02 2
