Have fun relaxing! Not knowing what to do is sort of fun. Means you can relax!

Have fun! I'll be playing the free version, Pokemon Go. :P

I'd say have fun but it isn't fun to clean. Unless you are Mary Poppins.

NAYRT but, is the AYRT right that it was something he said a decade ago? I mean, why even dig it up if he hasn't done or said anything recently that indicates he still feels that way?

Is it possible he dropped out less because he 'didn't want to give an apology' and more because of the ridiculous level of scrutiny involved in agreeing to the position?

All three together would be a kick :D. I'd be good with that.

It's not like the scrutiny was going to get worse than it already was

If he wants to stand on his honor and never apologize for anything that's his business but I don't think it's any unreasonable ask

Florida Mann, who emcees a drag show in Jacksonville.

Mabeline, the 30 year veteran bingo caller for the west side of Chicago.

I don't know what's in anyone's heart. I do know that the things he said were very homophobic. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a formal apology for something like that.

It was a few storyboarders, and some of their liked tweets included people "joking" about physically harming or killing the VLD staff, particularly director Lauren Montgomery, who for some funny reason always gets more hate and violent threats than her co-director Joaquim Dos Santos. It's not a good look for the people behind another female-run show that's supposed to be about being inclusive and empowering girls.

Except according to the above anon, he did apologize, he just didn't do it in the performatic sort of way that the Oscar committee wanted.

Based on tweets and jokes and interviews, yeah. He is probably a bit homophobic.

And he didn't apologize until today. And I doubt his views have changed.

You might enjoy his work with Big Finish. Six really comes into his own in the audioplays, and it's delightful!

Who tops or bottoms in a ship.

But did you like...

The Star Wars Holiday Special?

Agreed

You do know he's apologised for them several times going back to 2010, right? And as recently as yesterday? He didn't give the apology the Academy wanted. He chose not to. He chose to step down and end the controversy because the last several years have been a shit show of controversies at the Oscars. He cleared the way for the chance of the next awards ceremony being about the people it's supposed to recognise and honour.

Honestly, I never in my life thought I would ever stick up for this man but I feel very strongly about applying today's ideals to the past and viewing who someone was as who they are.

He didn't apologize until the tweet where he announced he was stepping down as the host. Before that, he addressed it with a big long self righteous comment on Instagram, which is not the same as apologizing.

Doesn't count as Lucas himself has said it is not canon.

To be clear, when you say he 'apologized yesterday', you're referring to his perfunctory statement in the same tweet where he announced he was withdrawing? And not his whiny Insta post about how unreasonable people were for having a problem with homophobia?

It’s like Until Dawn if the quicktime events were all skippable and the relationship meters actually meant something.

Glad you like it, nonny! But no, it hasn't always been awesome. And it's stupid to expect people to think that. Because it has always changed it's always been a different programme that attracts different audiences. For NuWho that has the unfortunate side effect of people who liked it not letting go when their time is up.

I assumed OP meant they watched shipping videos for specific pairings from shows they don't already watch to find ships that appear interesting.

I love this secret, OP.

I've done this before too.

Oh I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone capable of having an intelligent exchange, I didn't realise I was dealing with someone who ignores facts and twists things to fit their agenda. You do you and I'm out.
