Ryan: If you're going to make fun of Mac fanboys speculating on insane shit that they want to see announced at an Apple event, could you at least have the decency to cross-post it to Gizmodo.
Nothing irks me like someone without the guts to insult me to my face.
Why do these people list what kind of computers they have underneath their signature like it's a part of their vital organs?
Do these people jizz in their pants when Apple make a press announcement?
"Open Caption" replaces "Caption Contest"? C'mon are the budget cuts so bad that you can't be bothered to read comments and pick the best one? Granted, with this particular collection the pickings are slim.
Two comments: Why is Knowles expressing surprise and feigning that Bales got caught on the sound loop when he was, presumably miked up for the scene? The second is: Knowles is now against leaks from the movie business? What in God's name will he publish?
Its funny that a double standard is emerging here. Divas like Beyonce, Madonna, Cher, Naomi Campbell, Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey, JLo and the like are known and even celebrated for their bitchy encounters with producers, backstage dressers, personal assistants and the such. (I would love to hear a recording of Madonna bitching out Nile Rodgers, and him giving it right back, when Like A Virgin was being made! She later called him a genius while he said he would never work with her again.)
But when a white male actor of somewhat high regard indulges in it, its taboo and unprofessional? Give me a break.
This industry is all smoke and mirrors. Everyone acts like they like each other and its La La Land but everyone actually really hates each other. They only act cool because they dont know if and when theyll have to work with each other again. So what if he had a hissy fit? It happens all the fucking time. Doesnt make it right, but if anyone really has a problem with it then dont watch tv, go on the internet, see a new movie, subscribe to a magazine or buy a new cd ever again bc thats how these people are making their money.
And the pressure of the industry obviously manifests itself in different ways. Id rather see Bale freak out at the right person at the right time, as opposed to acting like nothings wrong, internalizing the frustration and later becoming anorexic, a junkie or philanderer or other sort of trainwreck (remember Robert Downey Junior, River Phoenix, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson?) People who are such a pleasure to work with dont last in the industry, or at least are not respected within it.
@LaTerrorista: There are a whole range of attitudes and actions between wasting away of sorrow like a poet in his garret, and screaming blue murder at someone for over three minutes. Really - it's not a binary choice.
Christ Harry Knowles is an execrable writer. Excremental, even.
A scene that required soul bearing and a deep level of immersive concentration
first of all, BARING, not BEARING. Second of all immersive? Immersive isn't even a word. And even if it were a word you wouldn't use it to modify concentration like that. Ugh. What a fucking disgrace.
Although I guess his terrible writing and his revolting appearance sort of clamshell together to form a gestalt that nerds and geeks everywhere can empathize with.
And finally Bale: grow up. You had a tough day. Everyone does. Deal with it like a fucking man, don't spaz out like a child.

But Owen et al, shouldn't the tag/category say "caption contest" not "open caption", so the caption contests stay on one page?

His hotel room is probably a PIG STY! GET IT?
But seriously, who cares what some guy looks like. I'll be that dude's friend.
Kevin Rose however, is a tool. How does he get away with being such a poser?
