First time I heard of Gina Carano was when they rebooted American Gladiators back in '08. Hilarious that she could have just kept her terrible opinions to herself and the Star Wars Money Train would have kept on rolling.

O.J. Simpson’s career died on June 12, 1994 — the same day he was accused of murdering his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. Until that day, everyone knew Simpson as a NFL star, an actor in films such as Roots and The Naked Gun trilogy, and that guy in all of the Hertz rental car commercials. What followed was the best-known low-speed police chase in history and the biggest criminal trial of the 1990s. A jury found Simpson not guilty of murder, but he lost a subsequent civil trial and owes the Goldman family millions of dollars he’ll never pay. He also served nine years in prison for robbery and burglary.

Everyone's favorite nerdcore rapper "mc chris" had a big blow-up on a fan and called security at a show, and then cried on video and everyone online laughed at him. You may recall:Wikipedia posted:In July 2012, Ward told the security guards at his show in Philadelphia to eject an audience member who had posted a critical comment on Twitter about his opening act Richie Branson. After receiving criticism from fans, he posted a video in which he cried and apologized for his actions. The fan received a refund, and described in a Reddit post how he felt humiliated by the experience.[20] And since then I am not sure he has ever recovered. For the record I like the guy and wish him well, and I still listen to his music sometimes, even if I have to skip a couple super cringy tracks (Hoodie Ninja anyone?); I think he slunk off the Internet for a while, but he still puts out music. I don't do Twitter so I'm not sure he was able to carry on having a social media presence. I guess he last had an album out on 2018 that I should probably check out. Poor mc chris. Chris if you're reading this, I still think you're pretty great.

SidneyIsTheKiller posted:The truly damaging thing Katherine Heigl did to her reputation was declining Emmy consideration for Grey's Anatomy and making it known in the press she did so to stick it to the writers/producers. This is my first time hearing about it, and it seems oddly...anti-smug? I don't even know how to describe it. It's like, a move ostensibly meant to be humble that ended up coming back around to being smug. I'm as impressed as I am confused.

You know McLean, MASH is great. But it’s an ensemble. I have a handful of great scripts about a hardware store owner, a conservative priest with a wacky progressive nun, and a radio host single dad. Any of these will be a huge hit with your name attached.

Lol, I remember that confusion being everyone's immediate reaction when that story started making the rounds. There was like this collective "ohhhh" that this pretty much had to be a form of protest over how much she thought the show sucked (or her part at least) considering how you'd kind of have to go out of your way to do this, and that if you really thought your work wasn't worth a nom you'd think you'd simply trust the Emmys to see that for themselves and all.

I would love being described like that. When you're surrounded by great performances you are simply part of them, but you're the superhero schlock needs. Hell yeah. Also on mc chris, showing my terrible memories of being a teen, there was also something about him basically burning bridges with a lot of other artists in the "scene" that caused a lot of bad blood. I think there was something about stiffing MC Lars for money or something. Which like, that dude's career peaked with Download this Song, like two decades ago or something lol he doesn't have money!

Seth Pecksniff posted:I mean it killed her career in anything remotely plausible and she fell into the right wing grift circuit as a result She gets confused for real journalist Naomi Klein so much, Klein wrote a book about it called Doppleganger. quote:“Doppelganger” is a different kind of book for Klein: more intimate and personal, shot through with a type of ambiguity that isn’t much of a presence in her earlier work. Where her previous targets have been familiar villains — greedy corporations, merciless capitalists, fossil-fuel companies, the economist Milton Friedman — her adversaries in “Doppelganger” reflect the ideological chaos of the last few years: billionaire tech tycoons, Darwinist yoga moms, xenophobic propagandists and ... Naomi Wolf? quote:And then there’s the rank absurdity of the Klein/Wolf mix-up. Yes, the two women are Jewish; both have brownish-blondish hair; both have written big-idea books; both have been outspoken about abuses of political power during times of crisis. But their bodies of work are distinctive, and the association between them became ever more troubling to Klein as Wolf began tweeting “pulpy theories” about 5G, about weird clouds. The confusion was widespread enough to be commemorated in a viral poem: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/30/...&smid=url-share

The X-shaped graph in her popularity with people who originally liked her Star Wars character vs. people who originally hated her Star Wars character is loving amazing. Normal people started out like "Oh, this character is neat, I'd like to see more of her", and chuds were like "BIG WOMAN IN STAR WR MAKE MY PEE PEE SMALL AND WOKE ME DON'T LIKE", and then when she revealed what a shitsack she was normal people were like "Oh, okay, they should probably kill off her character or recast her, that's a shame" and chuds were like "WE STAN WHAT'S HER rear end, TINA CARNO FOREVER! no we didn't just hastily erase all of our tweets and videos trashing her shut up"

Arbuckle's image was seriously damaged by William Hart, a respected in the industry actor who never worked with Roscoe on any picture, who acted mostly in schmaltzy cowboy crap and also was rumoured to be violent on the sets. Buster Keaton, who was supportive of Arbuckle innocence from the start, later directed and starred in a movie that basically killed Hart's career, parodying every tired cliche his movies were known for. Hart only worked on 5 movies after "The Frozen North". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Frozen_North#Production

SO DONT loving BUY IT, DONT loving DRINK IT, DONT loving CLICK MY LINKS. I mean Christ, all I did was make this thread to support a product which actually pleasantly surprised me, and folks are voting this thread "crap" and suggesting I'm scamming them. I've said repeatedly that this was just my experience and in no way should indicate how everybody else will feel. I've said the links to Amazon were referrals, so I'm not trying to hide anything. I've- ahh gently caress it, I'm closing this thread, gently caress you and gently caress GBS, I can never post a single goddamn thread in here without you faggots making GBS threads it up in some way or another. I should've learned my lesson long ago and never left the intelligent, rational forum where I don't have to deal with clueless idiots and morons like you people. I'm going back to FYAD and staying there, since it has a microscopic fraction of the retards and trolls populating GBS. I guess that should strike me as being ironic, but it's more sad to me than anything. Thanks for running me out of my own goddamn forum.
