    So you say its no Problem to hold those Standarts ,way do you need them ? I dont think Hollywood is that Racist or conservative so that is the reason there are this "underepresentations" ?

    Quotas never solve a Problem.

    Because if there are quotas nobody knows if you are there because of them or your Talent.

     

     

    Right. Because until now, jobs went to the most qualified and talented people. It's just a coincidence that 99% went to white males. /s

  2. When Dorothy's son said he only knew his father through his books, I wondered how did he not figure out his father was still alive (because I assumed Alec was still writing/publishing into the 60s, as we saw him at his desk) but according to Wiki, his last novel was published in 1940.  So what the hell did he do for the next 20 years?  How did he help support any of these families? Man, what a jerk.

  3. There are 5 sons, no? 2 with Gladys, 2 with Alison and 1 with Dorothy. Men who go around fathering children like it's no big deal ... I want to strangle them.

    I want to know what he told Gladys and Alison while he was visiting the other one. 20 years is a long time to believe and accept that your husband was so busy and had to be away so often.

    It might be irrational but I share Andrea’s hatred of men in tank tops. Particularly that kind of loose armed one.

    If I could like this a thousand times,  I would. Tank tops on men just bug me.

  5. Yesterday if I was in Manage Followed Content Forums, I was able to see the name of the forum and which thread had the new posts. This morning, the thread option is not there, meaning it now takes two clicks to get to the thread with the new posts. Did I inadvertently change something or is this how it will work now? Because if this is the new and improved way, I don't like it.

    I enjoyed the band plot.  It might have been a total suspension-of-disbelief moment when Jimmy's band knew Music Exec Dad's song, Smells Like Teen Spirit, despite the fact that everyone was a stranger 30 seconds ago, but perhaps the cover band covered this by playing very awkwardly at first?  Still, I wish that scene had aired! 

    Smells Like Teen Spirit is a pretty famous song so I don't see why Jimmy's band would be unfamiliar with it. Seemed like that's what the band does, play older classic songs.

    I never realized Christian Bale had such a pronounced accent. I don't remember it from other public appearances.

    According to Bale from a Fresh Air interview, whatever accent he's doing for a movie, he keeps the accent while doing promo for the movie, which I find odd, but it means there's little opportunity to hear his actual voice/accent.

  8. Yeah I can’t believe they wasted 10sec saying Streep was a famous actress. Unless they are the only person doing that particular thing, name their movie, their song. If it’s a singer, by naming a song, you’re also telling them it’s a singer. No need for a separate sentence. Very disappointing final round.

    Well, Simone is played by a black woman. Black people don't scar the same way as other races, we have raised scars called keloids. Assuming she didn't request to have them covered, they are just a product of the actress being a person who may have fallen at some point in her life. But as always, I never underestimate Mike Schur and still think (regardless of her scar location) that Kirby's character is supernatural. 

    I watched specifically to check her arm. She's wearing a bracelet. The chain part is hard to see and the circles we do see are just part of the design.

  10. I really wanted to like this show but tonight I started fast forwarding through all the scenes from home. I don't care what happened at home. Just show me what is happening on the island. I also feel they did not do a good job introducing the concept and the goal for the show. Tell me what's on the islands, how far are the islands from each other, are they required to find other people, what information were they given at the start? Are they expected to do anything other than survive? That fancy font does not make up for the fact that we have so little info to go on. Having that basic information would have made this show more enjoyable for me. The scenes at home just make me roll my eyes. Is this a survival show or a therapy session?
