  - Armie Hammer and Gina Carano. -- nm - zunk xometimes Feb 10, 20:00 2
    - They’re available. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 20:11 1
      - They'd bite each other's heads off -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 20:30
  - hell the could use Arnie in the Charlton Heston role as the leader of the Agency -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 19:24 2

      - From whiskey cavalier? Would she do two spy shows back to back? (I hope so!) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 19:22 7
        
        What if they gender flip it, so she's the hardcore spy and her spouse is living in the dark but super excited to get involved? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 19:23 6
        
        Ooooo yes - Pippy Feb 10, 20:11
        
        I could go for that -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 19:25 3
        
        I wonder what Zach Levi and Yvonne Strahovski are doing right now? -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Feb 10, 19:26 2

- Thats a hard 78 -- nm - budice Feb 10, 19:14 1
  - *hard* -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 19:14
- I'd have guessed a decade older a decade ago, but I might've been confusing him with Hef. I don't pay attention to that stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 19:13
Genius -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 10, 19:06

bah -- (link*) - Remlik Feb 10, 18:35 1

Lucasfilm fires Gina Carano -- (link) - budice Feb 10, 18:33 20
- People defending Carano: “People compared Trump and conservatives to Nazis all the time. How is this different?”— -- nm* - Flavorize— Feb 10, 19:57 1
  - There was no comparison, by the end it was just observation. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 20:08

- Cara Done -- nm - Jovian Feb 10, 18:53 1
  - *golf clap* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 18:56
- The shame of it is that she was really good in that role. -- nm - David Feb 10, 18:39 2 1
  - I agree, mostly. Part of that is because the role was literally created for her by Favreau. - Beryllium Feb 10, 18:42
  - yeah, thinking over the half dozen roles I can remember her in, this was her best work. -- nm - Max Feb 10, 18:40
- Freedom of speak! -- nm - Max Feb 10, 18:39
- Now I know exactly how Anne Frank must of felt -- nm - Gino Carano Feb 10, 18:37 2

- Wonder if Emma Caufield’s issues with him played into her not taking his shit? - Will Hunting Feb 10, 18:56 1
  - I was saying this at lunch. He torched her reputation at the time. - David Feb 10, 19:34
- her story about her treatment while pregnant is just.....goddamn infuriating. good for her for sharing this. -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 18:45

  - There've been low-key rumblings about him for long enough that I'm not entirely surprised. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 18:59
  - Also, I'm waiting to see if Dushku makes any comments on the Charisma thing, as she was reportedly one of the "needy actresses" he slept with. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 18:47 5
    - Another facet of the set. How many actors leaned into the questionable aspects. Careers were made. -- nm* - budice Feb 10, 18:50 4
      - What’s the word around David Boreanaz? -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 19:37 3
        
        Rachel Uchitel -- nm - David Feb 10, 19:40 2
        
        Dat the same waitress referenced in the Tiger Woods thing? This sounds ominous. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 19:56 1
        
        She’s a professional homewrecker. Angel was one of them. - David Feb 10, 20:00
- I guess I need to drop him as my doppelgänger. -- nm - Dano Feb 10, 18:40

- Have not heard any stories yet from the Firefly set - eag Feb 10, 18:35 16
  - different shows. Buffy and Angel were full of kids; Firefly had Ron Glass, Fillion and Tudyk -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 18:40 4
    - Summer, Jewel and Morena were all in the early 20s - eag Feb 10, 18:45
    - Adam Baldwin too. -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 18:42 2

        I feel we’re playing Glenn Beck levels of connect the dots here, and it’s all starting to make a lot of sense. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 19:45
  - To be fair, it was around for 3 months. Hard to be that big an asshole for a failure that quickly. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 18:38 1
    - plus common enemy in Fox screwing them around. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 18:49
  - and Avengers -- nm - budice Feb 10, 18:36 8
    - TPTB at Marvel/Disney may have been more on top of potential stuff like that than the folks at DC/WB -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Feb 10, 18:45 5
      - Plus you think RDJ would have put up with that crap - eag Feb 10, 18:47 4
        
        He'd take it in for a minute, patiently observing, and then go "Nope. Get me a new guy." and marvel would fucking do it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 18:52
        
        Barring Renner, the men in the MCU seem to be stand up guys. -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Feb 10, 18:51 2
        
        Pratt seems to have some troubles, but in this aspect he'd probably stand up with the rest, yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 18:56 1
        
        Pratt knows how to keep his mouth shut, at least. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 19:49
    - I did notice Whedon used a joke in Ultron in Justice League.... - Remlik Feb 10, 18:40

  - chocolata-chocolata-chocolata -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 18:26 2
    - sprinkles! -- nm - Tim Feb 10, 18:34 1
      - Never gets old! -- nm - ❄TWuG 🚀 Feb 10, 18:35
- Trying to offset the people pushing the country star that was dropped for using the n word? -- nm - spamlet Feb 10, 18:24 3
  - I thought he self-destructed his own career, but his sales went up because we are the worst country. -- nm - Tim Feb 10, 18:25 2
    - In the short term. He’ll be forgotten as a cause in a week and that will be the end. -- nm - spamlet Feb 10, 18:38
    - I posted about it. it’s a mess. -- nm - MDH Feb 10, 18:26
Apparently the kitty cat filter used by the lawyer in Zoom isn't exactly an easy filter to have/use. There's something fishy about the story. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 18:18 2
- so he's a furry. we don't judge. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 19:00
- It's ten year old Dell crapware. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 18:21

- Now we definitely have to mention wrestling in every episode! -- nm - Tim Feb 10, 18:23 4
  - Please, no. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 18:42 3
    - I assure you, for all the wrestling talk you hear on SITV, I have to sit through twice as much. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 19:53
    - :) -- nm - Tim Feb 10, 18:44 1
      - :-) - Krusty Feb 10, 18:46
- *replaces David with David 2.0* -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 18:18 2
  - Pro: it’s an upgrade. Con: will talk about John Cena for 20 minutes each episode. -- nm - David Feb 10, 18:19 1
    - Definitely not an upgrade -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 18:42
If Cats had just come out 3 months later, the creators could have argued that the pandemic impacted their box office and that it's a perfectly good movie... -- (edited) - Mop Feb 10, 18:08 2
- Or they could have saved a lot of money and filmed it over Zoom with a filter. -- nm - Dano Feb 10, 18:11 1
  - Or they could have saved a lot more money and never moved forward with the concept. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 10, 18:13
