Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers  

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm with Consuela. I know Joss hasn't posted here in a very long time, but it still makes me uncomfortable.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dude, I get to say I'm uncomfortable about it.

Indeed. But that's not what you said. You said it is "not our business." I prefer to determine my own business despite your reproval.

There was nothing in my comment that disallowed your comment.

You, however, came into a discussion and tried to shut it down with equivalent of "tut tut."

Obviously the people having the discussion were comfortable discussing celebrity gossip about a multimillionaire who exploits social media to market his work as readily as he breathes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Anyway, that's kind of heavy for any discussion before 8am.

Basically I didn't appreciate the threadnannying. Nothing more or less.

Not a big deal.

I agree with Consuela. I think that a marriage is only the business of the people in it. The fact that a person is famous doesn't make me their friend, or a part of their lives.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine.

It's a bigger breach of board culture, I think, to come in and squelch a conversation because you don't like it.

Obviously the people that were talking about it did not have that qualm.

It's a bigger breach of board culture, I think, to come in and squelch a conversation because you don't like it.

Oh, please. We've always argued about what's appropriate to talk about where. And at the risk of being accused again of being a killjoy threadnanny, this is not a celebrity gossip thread.

God forbid I someday become rich and famous, because by your logic, I should then expect everyone who knows me to violate all my privacy, because it's no more than I deserve for becoming rich and famous. Frankly, I think it's pretty skeevy to not only want to talk about the personal details of someone's failed marriage, but to ask people who know them to share those details in public.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, please yourself. We've gossiped on this board plenty, including speculation about Nicholas Brendon's alcoholism and how Charisma's drug addictions got her written off the show.

In any event, since there's no prohibition against gossiping, I don't intend to stop if it interests me.

I refer you back to my original comment: If you don't like it avert your eyes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have no problem with gossip, but I think it goes in Natter.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I agree with Scrappy. Per the slug, this thread is about Joss projects, not Joss's personal life. I'm sorry for making anyone feel uncomfortable.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

At only 15 minutes into the episode, I'm suspecting EVERYONE except Coulson of being the Clairvoyant.

But mostly Agent Hand and Agent Bill Pullman.
