Der Kyhe posted:Well, for the purposes of this thread not really. The guy did a colossally stupid career move and exchanged a guaranteed superstardom into "hey what was the name of that one idiot who thought being James Bond was a career ending mistake?" Lazenby still comes over as an arrogant, overconfident dick, even now in his 80s. His acting in OHMSS is absolutely terrible and the only thing he gets right is crying and going crazy at the end. Yet they wanted to sign him up for the next one, he could have had that job for years if he'd just played along. But oh no

George Lazenby walked so Daniel Craig could take a bunch of criticism and then make one good, a couple bad and a couple decent-ish Bond movies, then transfer into the role of a gay Southern gentleman detective married to Hugh Grant

Apparently he was already on thin ice for Goldmember bombing and apparently being a tough person to work with. love guru was a personal passion project for mike myers and he took its enormous failure so hard he stopped making movies. it didn't kill his career so much as kill his confidence and desire to keep his career going.

Supposedly, the power on the ship was going in and out making it hard/impossible to steer. More stuff in the OSHA thread or the thread on the collapse itself, but might not be the captain's fault, almost certainly the fault of whatever company owns the vessel for lack of any maintenance, but good luck getting blood from that stone.

Why was the power going out? They just left port. Did the captain not inspect the critical systems on the ship before leaving. That’s the kind of questions the coast asks If there is an accident the coast guard will find negligence somewhere and the captain almost always ends up getting some of the blame. Mechanical failure isn’t considered gee I guess it can’t be helped. It’s the responsibility of the crew to inspect the vessel. If it is not in good enough shape to leave or back up systems aren’t working it is the captains responsibility to say “we can’t go out” and they are responsible for the decision to leave anyway.

She rode that money yacht for 3, maybe 4 seasons I think? Released a Christmas album somewhere afterwards that bombed from what I read, then decided to become a business mogul who seems to clean up pretty good, making more than she ever did from BOTH of those earlier ventures.

All I remember about Jessica Simpson is that back in the day a lot of goons said she had the breasts of an old lady, and that she's really, really dumb. I personally don't have an opinion; I don't think I could recognize her or know any of her music, but I definitely remember her being a "big thing" in the late 90s/early 00s (?) I feel bad the only time I have thought about her in twenty years was to remember that goons thought she had saggy boobs and she was stupid

git apologist posted:that said i never actually watched that show and the 00s were a brutal time for misogynistic sensationalism I wonder if people remember the Anna Nicole Smith show? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anna_Nicole_Show Probably not as it only ran from 2002-04 and is only on DVD. The one episode I remember is that she was drunk or high on pills (ok this is almost every episode and on a blind date with some rich nobody who only sees her as an object. He takes her to this Japanese steakhouse (or maybe just Benihana) where he's rented out a private dining. She can barely form basic sentences but somehow managed to demand A1 sauce for her wagu beef. Of course they don't have this but rich guy insists so they send a busboy down to the corner store. On the limo ride home she's hanging out the window, screaming while rich guy is just calming saying, "Anna Nicole.....Anna Nicole....Anna Nicole" over and over.

I was trying to remember who Jessica Simpson was and got flooded with repressed memories of very low cut pants, very orange tans and pink lipstick/fake-blonde hair, spikey belt 2000’s era look for girls photos of that era look especially dated since everyone dressed the same way to the point it looks weird now

Eminem rapped about her “flying around the room like a balloon-a grabbed the last can of chicken toona from the fridge” something something about having sex with a dude and christopher reeve was a cripple. That’s my Jessica simpson knowledge.

Likely the reason it hasn't seen the light of day is because of all the controversy around her sons' death, her death, and the paternity case her lawyer (also on the show) brought up for her young daughter. Watching that show now knowing what's really happening and what's coming would be pretty painful to see.

I will ride or die for Anna Nicole, she deserved so much better. Slightly related, I follow Monica Lewinsky on Instagram and she’s living a more peaceful life. Kind of makes me think of if I had an older sister. I didn’t realize until recently how YOUNG she was when all that poo poo went down. Early 20s. I don’t know how she endured everyone in the country, all at once, having a very specific opinion about her, personally.
