Because sometimes all you can do is laugh....

[steelreserve]

I don’t know why, but it always catches me a little off guard how conservative this forum leans politically. Don’t get me wrong, I have no issue with it. It’s just different given where I live and what industry I’m in... as I’m sure you can assume by my username.

My social tribe is basically what you guys would call the out of touch left coast Hollywood elitist liberal loon echo chamber. I tend to criticize all politicians (I can probably be best classified as a libertarian) so I can’t be offended by any of it. But I’ve worked with people who take it so personally that they have literally disowned family members who voted for Trump.

I’m no fan of Trump myself, but the only aspect of his presidency that I do get a perverse kick out of is how bat shit crazy he makes otherwise very rational people. If anyone ever stepped into a writers room or onto a set wearing a MAGA hat everyone would assume that it was a joke of some sort. A joke in bad taste. It’s not just considered wrong, it’s considered EVIL and explicitly racist. And I find that generalization to be a bit hysterical and hypocritically prejudiced.

Anyway, sorry to derail a thread that isn’t really about football anyway. I just like the fact football fandom can bring together people who otherwise would probably never have the opportunity to interact about anything.

Movies?? I always figured you worked in a steel mill in Hollywood. Or you were some chick who likes to steal wood.

I believe he was nominated for a award for the Handmaids Tale and was actually rooting for him.

You only BELIEVE you were rooting for me?

Actually, I appreciate it. So far this year I lost an Emmy and a Producer’s Guild Award.

Much like the Steelers, I believe we were talented enough to beat anyone in the league. Damn refs screwed us.

Haha I forget who won but was rooting for ya. I bet you didn't forget.

I can’t get a job in the Hollywood Steel mills. Damn unions.

Well good luck in future and wish you and The Steelers many wins!

Game of Thrones won the Emmy this year. The Americans won the PGA. I went to the Emmys but didn’t bother going to the PGAs. Everyone knew the Americans was gonna win because it was their final year. At the Emmys we were actually the favorites. But I don’t really love awards shows in general.

The Emmys were fun though because I got to impress my girlfriend and get her picture taken on the carpet. She’s an actress so she’s into that kind of shit.

The Handmaid’s Tale got very politicized by the press but not by the creator of the show. When it was originally being developed no one thought Trump would actually get elected. The show just caught a lucky break with that one.

The MAGA hat definitely brings out the crazy in some people.

Oh man, for real? Then I've got a script to pitch you. It's called "Jimmy the FUCKIN Dickhead" and it's about this guy named Jimmy who runs a website where desperate people go to get handjobs, and in his spare time he's a dog. The website falls on hard times, and as less people go there for handjobs, he notices he's turning into a dog more and more and staying in dog form for longer, and also developing an intense craving to eat dogshit like a real dog. Eventually the website goes under and he turns all the way into a dog, and the second half of the movie mostly focuses on eating dogshit. Finally he gets adopted by a loving family, but they abandon him after they take him on a hike and he eats a huge pile of dogshit, then throws it up in the car on the way home, then eats the throw-up and throws up again in the house. But he finds happiness living on the street, and the movie ends with 45 minutes of dogs humping - no dialogue, no music or effects, just 45 minutes of dog-on-dog sex, some of it gay.

I typed out the whole script in half an hour on my smartphone.

IS IT TOO SOON TO WHISPER OSCAR

Oh my and think Chevy Chase should be the voice of the dog when Jimmy turns full dog. Or has that been done before ?

Spielberg has his “handjob website owner turns into shit eating dog” project in development at Dreamworks. But just like with a bad volcano movie, the market could always use a second one. I say follow your dream.

You know what, this was actually the original plot of Star Wars, before George Lucas got his hands on it and ruined it. There were also going to be 46 of them but the studio execs cut it down to 9 because it was "unmanageable," whatever that means. A little-known secret among the insiders in the biz.

Yes in the prequels they cut the part about Yoda’s past life as pimp of the handjob videos before he started eating green muppet shit all day long.

More I read more I think this team and Tomlin's management of the personalities has been a epic failure. Looked good so long as the things were going good, first sign of struggles it falls apart. I just hope he realizes his poor manager skills and corrects and moves forward to better things.

For me Brown living off campus during spring training is the straw that broke my give a crap

I applaud your understanding of the standards necessary to be a winning team.

You may be referring to the mythical deleted scene in which Jimmy (Yoda wasn't in the original script) made "dogshit angels" in an alley where his visitors used to go for handjobs as the site was about to fail.

In any case, it's clear from all the evidence available that despite its commercial success Star Wars missed the mark in what its audience wanted to see, and likely missed out on becoming an even bigger blockbuster as a result. For example, take this poll of 18 trillion Americans from shortly after Episode IV's 1977 release:



This shows an unmistakable preference, even at that time, for characters that break the mold of the stereotypical cis white male hero. Or another data point from another survey of 500 billion moviegoers after the release of Return of the Jedi:



Clearly, the public was hoping for a non-traditional story with a diverse cast of characters, yet once again, Hollywood disappointed them in its shameless pursuit of box office numbers. It's no wonder why the town, and the industry in general, has a reputation of being superficial and "fake."
