Didn't a bunch of the people in Movie 43 have no idea what the hell they were getting into, then respond with horror when the actual movie came out?
I believe a lot of them signed on before finding out what it was. George Clooney broke his contract when he actually read the script. I guess the rest of them didn't think the possible legal trouble was worth it.

Was that the one were Hugh Jackman has huge testicles on his chin? I wish I could have been there when he found out about that aspect of his character. You know, as astral projection and not as a real person. The guy who blackmailed Jackman into doing the movie probably would have shot me.

My memory of Movie 43's creation was that it was a bunch of stars contractually owing a film to the studio. The producer or whoever leveraged that against them.

I believe so many stars did Movie 43 because it was all short lovely vignettes, it took less than a day for any of them to do their role so it was a super easy job.

on the other hand, if she literally had nothing to do with what happened, should she be taking responsibility for it? like that's basically what she's saying

a better characterization of her statements would be "I had no idea this was going on and I am attempting to stop it, yell at those assholes not me"

Doesn't she know that's not how it works? She's in the movie so it's clearly her fault duh

Right, I don't think she should have apologized at all. That'd have been better than whatever she said.

Whatever the crap Red Shoes and the 7 Dwarfs is (a cartoon), it decided that a body shaming ad campaign was acceptable, at lease until star Chloe Grace Moretz got mad and suddenly the ad campaign is yanked. Is the ad campaign successful in that I've never heard of the movie before and now have? Or is it a failure because there is no way I'd go see it regardless?

No, I'm talking about videos made for sharing in social media and consumption on smartphones. Professionally made stuff by big companies. The "future" of video content apparently.

I saw an interview with Charles Napier where he said he got people approaching him being super pissed that he was mean to Rambo for like a decade straight and he eventually had prepared statement he'd give explaining how actors are people that act a certain way in a fictional thing/etc.

My favorite anecdote along these lines, but of a more humorous nature, is one that Harold Ramis told: One day, William Atherton was walking down the sidewalk in New York or Los Angeles, I forget which, and a bus full of people pulls up alongside him. He looks over and everyone shouts, "YO, DICKLESS! :haw:"
