Turns out that Bill Hader and Mindy Kahling aren't returning for Inside Out 2 because Disney really lowballed them. Poehler got $5 million with bonuses while they were offered flat $100k

I finished Ad Astra last night and I liked it way better the second time, though the spaceship fight was just dumb… however I’d forgotten Pitt’s dispassionate, by-the-book “Proceed to oxygen.” line and appreciated it. I guess an early version had the last scene end with Pitt waking up in bed with the wife he remarried as their daughter gets into bed with them. I think I would have liked this last scene more, given his newfound beliefs after his father’s death. What I’m saying is, Ad Astra 2 when?

I think I would have liked this last scene more, given his newfound beliefs after his father’s death. I worked on the movie and got to see an early cut, and Liv Tyler's character was added entirely in reshoots. There was definitely a scene like you described, but the identity of his family was vague, and was more symbolic of him moving past his trauma than reconnecting specifically with his ex-wife. Also they cut the Mars Orgy scene, which probably works better for the tone of the movie but I would have loved to have seen reactions to it suddenly just happening.

Oh, Poehler was a very hot property at the time and remains a perfect piece of casting for the first film, but in the 8 years since she hasn't followed up the successes that put her in demand in 2015. She's not a nobody, and good on her for being a woman in comedy still getting work after 26, it's just weird that she's the one they seem to be bending over backwards to keep while letting Bill Hader and his 7,987 emmys walk out the door. Kaling can get hosed.

Yeah, I'd say that she's still popular enough a name that she'd be a big draw (also a super talented comedian any comedy would be lucky to get, but that seems pretty un-connected to pay in Hollywood). And yeah, if they feel she should get that much than good for her. Hadar though has just come off several huge hits so low balling him seems insane. Snowman_McK posted:Kaling can get hosed.

They're throwing that kind of money at Poehler because she's the lead of the movie and would be hard to replace. Hader is great and obviously talented but his role is smaller than Poehler's and it's a broad and comedic enough performance you could probably get away with recasting it and having it be minimally distracting.

Bill Hader was also replaced on Bob's Burgers. Originally they said it was just one episode because of schedule issues but his character was in several seasons and the movie since then and it has never been Bill.

"Bewildering" is a good way to describe Velma. People have read all sorts of things into it because it's a series that depicts every character as hateful, the world as hateful and even seems to hate itself. It's not for anything, it's against everything. If it comes out that the series was produced under duress and was deliberately bad, I wouldn't be surprised.

The office is edgier than people remember, I’m a weirdo who rewatches it every year and a lot of Michaels jokes are very rough but intentionally so and a huge point of it. It could absolutely be made today but probably not on NBC. At least the earlier seasons. Honestly how Michael acts is so on point with the general attitude with a lot of annoying reactionaries except you replace corporate culture with just culture His dream is to one day be able to joke about aids lol.

The 'you couldn't do that today' response is just pavlovian for some people. You mention any comedy at all and get someone very sure that it couldn't be made today, no matter how controversial it was at the time or how mainstream it now is.

Also, Always Sunny did abortion jokes in the second episode the same year the Office premiered. They were edgier then and now. The Office was always bland, middle of the road humour that you would have to work so hard to be offended by. No cultural warrior anywhere can even pretend to give a poo poo about it.

It's on cable, and specifically a channel which has looser standards than the networks. (Cable channels aren't subject to FCC indecency guidelines so it's more what advertisers will accept, so they set their own internal S&P based on that.)
