in A Moving Train
Like many things I read I get an “aha” moment or a “wtf” moment. 

This is particularly interesting.

    I'll feel much better while watching siblings engage in incest in the final season of Game of Thrones.  Thanks HBO.

    Sounds like a very good idea.

    you know, people gripe all the time about "oh, who cares, they're fucking overpaid wealthy people whining about their jobs" but these are real people with real emotions. this was long overdue. especially as an advocate for women.

    So a woman takes the part of a porn star but it is the fake weiner that bothers her?  Did she not read the script prior?  Does she not know what a porn star does and that she would probably have to act the part?  Is she being forced to do the job she auditioned for?  Is she forced to stay?

    who in their right fucking mind would think this is a bad idea?

    Who said it was a bad idea?  I'm asking if someone was forced to do something that they didn't want to.  I'm asking if there were unknown expectations.

    How do you think any of those questions are even relevant to the vast majority of HBO actors, if any at all? I think you don't understand the purpose of this fully.

    Pretty simple.  What if the actress wanted to do it? Isn't that more empowering than telling her she can't?  Does she not know what she wants?

    So you go from "a fake weiner bothers her, did she not read the script" to "what if she wanted to do it."

    Yeah, he has no clue what this is even for, obviously.
    Unsung, try reading a real article or something instead of trying to get us to explain the basics to you.

    Which defines a troll. If everyone stopped responding it would stop. Easier said than done.

    Opposite viewpoint or questioning attitude = troll

    OK.  Sure.

    No. That is not at all why people call you that. If it were, we'd all be calling everyone that, lol. It's the "to get a rise out of people" part that matters.

    Well if that's true, then there really is cause for concern.

    My feeling is that this is being driven by HBO's legal department more than anything.  I don't blame them.  Sorta like when you see a Kia commercial where the car is bouncing across the moon and they still put the "do not attempt. professional drivers on a closed course" disclaimer on the bottom of the screen.

    It seems almost like a bizarro alternate reality that Roman Polanski was getting awards and the toast of the town not that long ago.  There are so many skeletons in the closets of Hollywood that the skeletons have skeletons in the closets.

    But they didn't know!  It's not like they had the Jedi force manifested that should have given them a heads up.  It's all Ned's fault.

    such nonsense. if that were true we'd all be each others' trolls. you seem to believe that you and a select few others are the only ones people disagree with around here.

    I'd say for most women, they dont know how they will react until they are in that situation.

    further, how many of those scenes are intregal to the story? Necessary to move it forward?

    I'd wager more than half are gratuitous and done simply to sell tickets.

    Singer Chris Brown has a line that I love, it goes "You've got skeletons in your closet? I've got aliens in my basement!"  So whenever someone brings up more that skeletons I think of aliens, lol.
