What I find funny about this whole ordeal is that most Americans are actually relishing and enjoying the hackers spilling all this tea. I know I am. Carry on, hackers (IMO). I hope they expose all these studios and their executives, so this'll ignite talks about how shady and backwoods Hollywood really can be. It's time that Hollywood changes with the times as well, and what better way to do it than to be exposed and fear they might be losing money from scandals.

But I am worried about the X-Mas present the hackers are supposedly dropping. It must be something big....

Yeah, I'm kind of torn. Obviously I feel for the people who had their personal info stolen. I mean, damn, if your employer can't or won't keep your data safe then what place is possibly safe? But it's been enlightening to see how things work (or don't) behind the scenes and it's been good to see some of nastiness and ignorance dragged out into the light.

I was reading an article about how Sony wanted Idris Elba as the new Bond and I thought, "Why would anybody want to work on a Sony project now knowing full well it might never be seen and all your personal business could be thrown in the street on top of it?"

Speaking of Idris:

How did you feel about what Rush said? IMO, this is what partially pisses me off about 'white Hollywood." It's OK for them to slap white actors in roles for diverse actors [e.g. Jesus Christ], but a black man cannot play Bond? :rolleyes:

This is why I hope the hackers expose ALL the movie studios and network TV execs e-mails. I want Hollywood to drop to their knees going into 2015.

Considering James Bond is an English character, and the black population of England is 2%... it was half that when Bond was created... it's one hell of a stretch to have Bond played by a black actor. The role of Jesus is a different matter, because we don't actually KNOW how light or dark he was. If this were to come about, it would be laughed at and panned every bit as much as dropping Will Smith into the role of James West was.

It's not the same as Wild Wild West - for one, it was a terrible movie, and for another, the show was very stylized and James West was built around one certain actor (Robert Conrad). Bond has been recast multiple times. Idris Elba also has far more gravitas than Will Smith.

A lot of people use Bond as their avatar because he represents a world they miss - the supremacy of the straight white man, boozing and smoking all the day long, good guys and bad guys easy to find, women there to spread legs and if they don't, they get a good slap or punch in the face until they learn their place.

I don't blame Elba for not going anywhere near this type of role. I can't imagine the racist psycho hate he and his family would get.

    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
    • That happens sometimes on cbs/paramount. Just refresh the page and it should work.
    • In a 1997 SOD article, Ehlers mentions that she was asked to return several times, but was surprised she wasn't asked to return for her "mother's" funeral.  This was when she returned for the 60th Anniversary event. They were a really popular pairing for a few years ago.  As an older viewer, it seemed strange seeing Beth as the odd one out, but 1998 Beth was a totally different character.  She was written as a manipulative, vixen.
    • Unhappy camper!

    • It seems obvious based on the initial material that Korte was going to take another foolish run at Jason and Carly a la 2021 and hoped Mulcahey being back would make it work, as he wrote such famous material for Steve, Sarah, etc. I think a couple good dialogue scenes came out of them together very early on, but there was never any denying that Steve and Laura have never had and will never have any romantic chemistry, plus the audience doesn't want it. So they pivoted to her with that useless dayplayer (Brennan) and now here they all are, spinning their wheels doing nothing of value on the show. I do think PM had planned to do much more with Jason's sons and that rivalry/friction, but once he was gone so was Jake. I've rarely seen any of the core mob 3 feel so totally extraneous and directionless on the canvas. Not that I mind. Anything that makes Jason easier to get rid of works for me.
