tv echo January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 (edited) As a longtime X-Files fan, I loved this tweet from DD in response to GA getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame... Incidentally, David Duchovny got his star on January 25, 2016. His female co-star on The X-Files, Gillian Anderson, got her star on January 8, 2018 (two years later). Somehow, that seems typical Hollywood. FYI, here's an article on how one gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame:http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lazarus-hollywood-walk-of-fame-20170817-htmlstory.html Quote That said, anyone can nominate a celebrity for inclusion on the Walk of Fame. Then it’s up to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which oversees the starry honors, to decide who gets to join the club.

As someone who right before Christmas found out from a male colleague who's in the exact same position that I am that he's making $15,000 more then I am for the same job I'm hoping Mark and the studio get feathered and tarred for this.

Yeah, it was that the other actors made a deal to come back for basically nothing but Mark Wahlberg and his team held out because they knew Ridley Scott/distributors were planning massive awards show pushes for this movie despite the Kevin Spacey scandal. They took advantage of his demand. The other actors now get good word of mouth in the industry (and awards buzz) while MW (who wasn't going to get any awards from this) gets a payday, which is probably how their teams argued it for either of them. It looks bad but Mark Wahlberg is pretty savvy with his money (in both good and bad lights) and I don't see anything sexist about it. Edited January 11, 2018 by way2interested Link to comment

The Washington Post first reported Wahlberg's reshoot fee, noting that the actor “along with manager Stephen Levinson and agency WME, have a reputation in Hollywood for driving a tough bargain.” Williams previously told USA TODAY that when Scott's team called to request her time for the reshoot, "I said I'd be wherever they needed me, whenever they needed me. And they could have my salary, they could have my holiday, whatever they wanted. Because I appreciated so much that they were making this massive effort." Link to comment

I'm not in general inclined to defend Hollywood executives, but in this particular case I'm pretty sure that Tri-Star was not in the least happy to pay out that money to Wahlberg. Unfortunately, it was either that, or lose the $45 million they'd already invested in the film - distributors and theatres were refusing to carry it. Not to mention everyone else - including Michelle Williams - losing their shot at award nominations, virtually guaranteeing that Ridley Scott would spend the rest of his life complaining that Tri-Star's cheapness had "robbed" him of his Academy Award. I don't doubt that WME was delighted to earn a percentage cut of $1.5 million instead of $1000, but I have to agree with the general consensus here that Mark Wahlberg chose to take advantage of a pretty crappy situation. All this said, I think the real person at fault here is Kevin Spacey. 13 minutes ago, apinknightmare said: I think she basically accepted per diem for her time (which I'm pretty sure is required under SAG, but I could be wrong) Yep.

In this article here it says she was never told what Mark would be making (I thought it was written in the original article as well but on skimming through it again I couldn't find it) and considering Ridley was going around saying "we are all working for free" it's not that hard to assume they- either her agents the studio or both- knowingly kept her in the dark while she agreed to nothing based on good will that they were all donating their time while they were negotiating millions with her supporting actor and not once Mark pushed them for a payout not deciding to then say okay since we are paying him anyway let's at least offer Michelle something. That to me is a gender disparity. That once they had to pay out money they weren't transparent about that with their female star or even come to the conclusion that they should give her some kind of bonus at least so they- and Walhbergs team- don't look like greedy scum. And her agency whose job is suppose to be looking after the interest of their clients don't look complicit. As result this film will now probably become more notable for the film that paid Michelle 1500x less then Wahlberg then it will for the story or the performances. Link to comment
LeighAn January 11, 2018 Share January 11, 2018 (edited) This article here also references a source saying that when reshoots where announced that they all- including Mark- agreed to come back to work for free suggesting that it was a mutual agreeement between the cast, but then Mark went and negotiated a deal for himself. Yes Mark is a greedy ass for that who should be called out but it's obvious the studio were comfortable to carry on the narrative that everyone is selflessly donating their time for a passion and letting Michelle believe that capitalising on her own good faith. http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/movies/shocking-claim-about-michelle-williams-pay-for-movie-reshoot/news-story/71db5c0dfdcc682db24e8fab94825a24 ETA: Also considering her best friend someone she'd refer to as her soulmate and I believe the god mother of her daughter Busy Phillips has been tweeting quite a bit about how shameful this story is I'm inclined to believe that this was probably surprising if not unpleasant news for Michelle.

In no way is this okay whether she agreed to it or not imo. I'm not saying any of this is ok, by the way - and I don't think anyone here is. But, that said, from the reporting, it doesn't seem that Tri-Star made an offer to anyone. Ridley Scott has been running around telling everyone for months now that it was his idea to save the film through reshoots and he had to persuade Tri-Star (and Christopher Plummer) that it could be done. So it seems more that Tri-Star, facing a multi-million dollar loss, decided to take Ridley Scott up on that offer - and Wahlberg, knowing how much money Tri-Star could potentially lose, basically blackmailed Tri-Star into paying a high fee. Regarding Ridley Scott's "We're all working for free" comments, I'm going to guess that Tri-Star simply didn't tell him the details of the contracts for the reshoots, or, being Ridley Scott, he was told and didn't pay any attention. More likely the second. Regarding her agents - it's not at all clear if her agent knew about Wahlberg's deal at the time. Someone in WME, sure, but WME is a very large agency, and it's possible (probable, even) that Williams and Wahlberg are with different agents. IF her agent did know, then I agree with Twitter: she needs to fire her agent or at the very least have a very long talk with WME. On Tri-Star's side, their entire focus in November would - and frankly should - have been keeping costs down as much as possible. Those reshoots, even with people working at reduced rates, cost money, on a prestige film that was already unlikely to be a box office hit. (As of right now, two weekends post release, All The Money in the World has not earned back its principal budget costs.) The gender disparity is terrible, no question - but at the same time, I can see why Tri-Star/Sony executives were less worried about gender disparity issues and more worried about pouring more money into a film that they were already going well over budget for. There's a couple of other nuances getting overlooked here - including the fact that unless Tri-Star is lying (and they could be) the initial budget numbers suggest that everyone, including Wahlberg, took lower fees for this film to begin with, in return for a promise that Tri-Star would do a big awards push. They started that push well before the Spacey allegations went public - and it focused on Michelle Williams, not Mark Wahlberg, despite his two previous Academy Award nominations. It's one thing to agree to do ten days of filming for very little when you know that you have a good shot of getting a major award. It's another thing entirely to be asked to do ten days of filming for very little in order to save Sony $40 million bucks. I'm by no means trying to defend Wahlberg here, because I also think that profiting from the situation is, at best, tacky, but I am saying that Wahlberg presumably knew that Kevin Spacey had been the choice of Tri-Star/Sony executives, and certainly knew that choice was why everyone was doing these reshoots in the first place. And for what it's worth, Michelle Williams is one of the few Hollywood actresses who doesn't seem to have problems finding strong roles. She's been nominated four times for an Academy Award, appeared in three films in 2017, and has major roles in at least two upcoming 2018 films, including the big budget Venom. She could have walked away from this film, or she could have demanded more money. She chose not to profit off the allegations that one of her former costars had sexually harassed/assaulted teenagers and other men. She gets my applause and respect for that. I still think the main person at fault in this particular situation is Kevin Spacey. Edited January 11, 2018 by quarks 4 Link to comment

BkWurm1 January 13, 2018 Share January 13, 2018 I have no idea why I still sometimes watch Blue Bloods. Its casual and blind sexism is a constant, rampant thing that I don't think the writers or producers are even aware of doing half the time. From the seemingly obvious "mistake" like casting a hot thirty year old as even the ex wife of the close to retirement, unfit (he can't stand for long without sweat dripping down his face), unhandsome cop - to the same old cop telling his female boss who apparently he talks to his ex about all the time, that he wants his daughter to grow up to be like her but "not because you are a hottie". What the HELL?? In the context, the comment makes even less sense. Why would her looks have anything to do with him gearing up to explain why he admires her character? Why would anyone feel even the need to get that assumption out of the way first? Then the actress isn't even allowed to be offended when he says it. This is also the same show that constantly uses that one lone sister of the family as a punching bag that gets blamed for everything constantly and even when she's right she first gets berated over her actions not to mention all the times when she is right but still ends up being portrayed or revealed as wrong. Like tonight when we find out she never wanted to be a cop but got her mom to lie for her and pretend to forbid her to take the test years ago so her dad wouldn't be disappointed in her, a lie she let stand and reinforced until now that her daughter actually wants to take the police entrance exam and she's freaking out about it. She ends the show looking calm and supportive of whatever her daughter wants to do, but they first make her look irrationally overcome by her motherly emotions before that happens. And then there was the storyline where male and female patrol cops are talking and she's telling him about this dude that was ghosting her and her partner keeps badgering her to find out what she did to turn the guy off. She's allowed to get mad but does she get an "I'm sorry?" Hell no. Later he gets to make jokes about sleeping with her. Also, when she got upset that her superior officer would call her her partner's actual girlfriend, she's the one that gets suspend and the officer is never questioned about what he says. In the end, we find out the reason why the guy wasn't calling her back was because she talked too much about her partner and the partner gets to make more jokes about her wanting him. The show thinks it's being all fair and balanced but the underlying misogyny is relentless. Link to comment

Is Mrs. Maisel similar in that regard? The characters were distinct and there were some big personalities but quirk was not a driving force and the show isn't deliberately cutsey. It's not aimed at teens at all and the language, especially early on in the season, can be very coarse (she's upset, seemed reasonable to me, lol) It has a fast pace and lots of dialogue but the flavor of the whole thing was not Gilmore Girls. And again, I really liked GG so I would have been perfectly happy if that was the case. Before I'd watched, someone else told me it didn't remind them of GG and I agree. I mean, as a big fan, I could see some similarities like how her parents are important characters but there's no resemblance to the Grandparents on Gilmore Girls or to their relationship with their daughter. (Tony Shalhoub plays her father and does it wonderfully) I was also perfectly able to predict the plot points in the final episode but was wrong in HOW everything played out. It's funny, the main character is supposed to be 26 but she's so much more emotionally mature than Lorelai who was supposed to be in her thirties. At the same time, Midge is far more sheltered in many ways, but it's set in the fifties so that's to be expected. The period part of the show was fun all on it's own. I'd say watch the first episode, you'll know very quickly if it's for you or not though watch the whole hour to get the full feel for it. There's only 8 episodes in season one but they already have an order for the second season. Edited January 13, 2018 by BkWurm1 1 Link to comment

Kramer has denied the allegations, calling them “atrocious lies” in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Edited January 14, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment

Or did your passion for rings start because he didn't,? :D Moved this here cuz once I start on gems I find it hard to shut up. *** He knows nothing and still knows nothing ? Actually I lie, he knows I love halos but that's it! There is so much technical information behind diamonds and coloured gems (I'm a numpty compared to the hard core people) there is no way he'd be brave enough to buy anything. I can't release him in the supermarket to buy watermelon let alone a gem! He loooooves my push present and always says he wishes he could be the kind of guy who picks out that ring and gifts it to the wife. I'm going to be his suave hubby in the next life! ? On that note I leave you with this Chrysoprase I picked up yesterday. Resisting the urge to halo it. 1 Link to comment
tv echo January 18, 2018 Share January 18, 2018 (edited) This sounds interesting... J.J. Abrams Shopping TV Space Drama Script (Exclusive) JANUARY 16, 2018 1:58pm PT by Lesley Goldberghttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jj-abrams-shopping-tv-space-drama-script-1075163 Quote The prolific writer, producer and director is shopping a space-set spec script that, should it go to series, would be the first show he wrote and created since Fringe in 2008. Sources say Apple and HBO — where Abrams serves as an executive producer on Westworld — are both in the running for the untitled drama, with producers Warner Bros. Television also open to additional bidders as the project is still being shopped. Warners, Apple and HBO all declined comment. Sources say the Abrams drama is about a family — consisting of a mother who works as a scientist, her husband and their young daughter — who all get into a terrible car crash. After the mother winds up in a coma, her daughter begins digging through her experiments in the basement and winds up being transported to another land amid a world's battle against a monstrous, oppressive force. Her father then follows her into this new world. Edited January 18, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment
Chaser January 19, 2018 Share January 19, 2018 (edited) I'm watching Supernatural/Wayward Sisters and Claire is awful. The actress is horrible and the character is so bland. She has so much focus in the pilot I'm concerned about the series (if it gets picked up). Edited January 19, 2018 by Chaser Link to comment

I love the concept, but really wish they had kept Jo alive. :-( Link to comment
