Every time rum ham likes one of my posts, I immediately think of Danny De Vito crying out `RUM HAM!!!' in the ocean, which is awesome

An apology would be nice, too.

`Market forces' is a bullshit reason for things not being apparently viable for the reasons I gave. The industry is pretty clearly at a bad equilibrium, where the market for film creation and distribution is very closed up and predominantly belonging to white males. The system as it exists tries to support that continuation as an institutional force (meaning that it is made up of individuals not trying to change it), and the only evolution it gets is when rarely something comes from the outside, and even that has minimal effect.

So when you say that something virtually untested can't succeed because of market forces, you need to at least recognise that Hollywood is the exact opposite of a well balanced and open/free marketplace.

Lots of shows have females, but there wouldn't be many episodes of 30 Rock that passed the Bechdel test, as an example.

Not cant, never can't. Fair point.

Sweet spiced gherkins and smoked cheese on crackers with a glass of red watching NABster Cup.. I've got issues

Ponderosa Trial and CharDee 2 are probably the only episodes I'll add to my regular rotation of... well, all the episodes they've made until this season.

The way they put the implication into the latest episode was soooooo forced

Quite enjoyed Charlie Finds a Leprechaun. Will watch again. Also, Dennis going off the deep end has been fun.

He is unfunny and annoying, two adjectives will suffice.

It was alright. Best moment clearly goes to Mac suggesting that he'll check out the gay bar - alone.

Levy is gold.

Also if a BMX movie should be remade it should be Rad. Including Lori Laughlin who is somehow hotter now than she was in 1986.

You just reminded me, I have to return some videotapes...

Thought he was ok, Get Him To The Greek surprised me how much I enjoyed it. Saw his doco about getting addicts into rehab…
Nah, I'm good not hearing him again.

 

[_VXV]

I thought this was the remake?

No He Man talk here is complete without this

 

[edgie]

Your point being?

By the time the 90s came around roles were given on the story and the character. Society and Hollywood had corrected itself. 20 years later and the balance has actually tipped to industries ramming minorities in movie roles down the audiences throat, with buzz words like I mentioned, leading to some sort of fed up attitudes towards it.

If an all female Ghostbusters was released in the nineties, the carefactor about gender casting would be a lot less and audience backlash of the movie would be more genuine and not hiding behind sexist reasons.

Of course, plenty of idiots haven't been hiding behind their blatant intolerance at all.

edgie you're the sort who will never see women or minority leads as anything but token or a result of agenda driving.

 

[Portia]

I would've said the same about me ten years ago. It can happen but it takes skull sweat to work out.

I have no idea what is going on, a blog page called "barefoot five" posted this picture and someone just completely lost their shit.
