I've got the matches!
Yeah! Take that, freedom of expression!
Chill, she's got a new job. She's doing a lot better than most of us probably.
Yeah, I think people should not get on their high horse and build strawmen. Nobody said she should be killed for having an idea, but we have the right to think her idea sucks.
Well, actually we know.
But first let me say that many people IMO are reading faaaar too much in these private business mails, I really wonder if some of them have ever worked in a company. When Person A writes to Person B that Person C is not doing his job as expected, it looks more like "If he continues it will be a disaster" rather than "well he has one or two days of low motivation but it should be fine in the end" : in a company, you always claim hell is at the door if you want your colleague to bother.
And well, about that particular Idris Elba mail : this a one-line mail. The answer is "Tell that to our director". Many of these mails are not mails, they are text messages sent through mail.
B-)
Don't worry, I'm cool as a cucumber. Unlike those who lose their shit when the words 'black' and 'Bond' are mentioned in the same sentence. Never fails to make me laugh.
Because those who disagreed with Amy Pascal, for whatever reason (for instance that Idris Elba would be 46 should he succeed to Craig) are reallt infringing on her right to free speech. Even if someone is against a Black actor playing Bond... He is not forbidding some executive to have a different opinion on the matter. He is disagreeing with the idea.
Maybe we are reading far too much into it and it is true that in companies people have a tendency to be dramatic, or shout these "great ideas" which they have not even thought through.
The 'freedom of expression' line was sarcasm, Ludovico. I don't really think that. The same way I don't really think people would fire someone for suggesting a black man could play Bond.
He meant freedom of expression for Pascal, not you and your ilk. Differing standards, dontchaknow.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
It just comes across as daft, or really off-mark.
You could just try saying what you mean.
Ie."I don't like that some Bond fans don't like that Amy Pascal supports Elba as next Bond"
And our response will be "We don't care".
Free expression and all.
:D
I just enjoy watching the usual suspects see their arse.
No one is losing their shit here in this thread, as far as I can see.
Now, where are those matches. A witch needs to be burnt... >:)
And it's just a coincidence Amy Pascal is a woman, isn't it ? :)
Amy Pascal is woman!? :-O
Ah. Looking in the mirror again, wot.
The mighty don't fall too far.
Sony does seem to be in trouble. Doesn't seem to have much going on, other than foundering Spiderman franchise.
If I may be of help, although Amy may be well ahead of me on this one, how bout Elba as new Spidey!!!!!
Again, I'm here to help. :D
Great movie!
One of my favourites, if not my absolute favourite film.
Have you heard about the infamous hospital scene that was cut from the end of this movie?
They're doomed.
Great movie. But my favourite Kubrick movie is still A Clockwork Orange, although 2001 might be his best.
Oh and last off topic remark: Eyes Wide Shut is sorely underrated.
