For the record, I asked Mrs Vesperus (who is American) if she said "self deprecating" or "self depreciating" and she opted for the former.
So it's an American V British thing.
I told her how much I apprecate her and now she's looking for a gun.

"People don't like Pedro Pascal? Must be the terfs"
Pedro Pascal is a good example of someone that's been completely oversaturated in a short amount of time. It's like people hating Taylor Swift - if you push someone in people's faces long enough, a lot will just start disliking them by virtue. I assume that once the promo for the new Fantastic Four movie is over, his publicist will make him take a break if he has any sense.

I remember the days when he wasn't everywhere and people actually liked him. But yeah, it's the downside to being overused. A good way to burn out as well.

I liked him in Game of Thrones and Kingsman, but after that I got really tired of seeing him.

I think some of it is that, but some of it is also the dude being legitimately insufferable. The man actually reposts his fans screaming about how sexy and "daddy" he is and how he's "the only good man" and shit on his own Instagram, which is a level of cringe I have never before seen in a celebrity (am I sheltered?). And he's constantly caping for trans-identified males (and ONLY trans-identified males*) in loud and obnoxious ways, probably because his brother (an obvious porn addict if the name he goes by, "Lux," is any indication) is one. Oh, and he decided to use his fame and fortune to take pot shots at JKR while remaining silent on literally every degenerate and criminal male celebrity because "she thinks wrongthink!" is apparently worse than, say, Neil Gaiman committing actual rape against multiple women, which he did not speak out about to my knowledge.

He's just a massive attention whore who is enjoying his fame far too much, especially amongst the troon crowd and their handmaidens, and can't stop shooting his mouth off 24/7 and that's bound to annoy a lot of people.

* I mention this because people constantly praise him as a "pro-LGBTQIA+++" celebrity, but I've never seen him stand up to actual homophobia or anything like that, just "transphobia" and only when it effects the skirt go spinny crowd.
 
Fun fact: South America is still angry at Spain for colonizing them and want them to pay reparations. For example Mexican leaders are regularily is bitching about Spain and so do other countries.
Pssst, Mexico is in North America.

Thread tax, erm how about this

It’s an open secret in Pedowood at this point that Pedro Pascal is a closeted gay man himself. He keeps getting caught on camera using gay slang in his normal queen voice or appearing unusually close to his male friends.

Pedro Pascal and his brother are gay, the brother is also an actor and trooned out after Pedro started getting famous before he did. Their dad was very abusive and homophobic. Pedro being gay is an open secret and he keeps getting caught talking in his regular gayer voice talking like a queen.

A lot of the male actors are going to be what's attractive to the male execs, not to women.
As a gay man in the closet, he probably wouldn’t want to draw the attention to himself by talking about homophobia.
 
I was at the pub yesterday sitting outside and enjoying the sun having good conversation when the chat turned to how we are all sick of seeing Pedro Pascal in everything and that we see his face more than our own. Right then a bus goes past with Pedro's face on the side advertising Fantastic 4. Tip top comedic timing.

Anyway, no JK Rowling is not behind people being sick of Pedro, he is just over saturated.
 
We shall see, I guess.
Fry still gets most of his money from the BBC so I'm not going to judge him too harshly until I have no choice .

@Dr. Butt Maybe this is an American vs. British English thing?
Am Bong. "Self-depreciating humour" is not a phrase kek. U dumb mang

Doesn't Lin-Manuel Miranda do this too? Weird thirst reposting (and cringe thirst merchandise) while still trying to claim he's heterosexual?
 
I'm unsure but doesn't the publishing company get paid when the book store stocks the books? So the book store would just be taking the loss?
Running a bookstore is so unprofitable bookstores technically have an "unlimited right of return" for unsold books, at least in the USA. It is an industry practice stretching back to at least the Great Depression. And credit is usually extended when the books are "purchased" in the first place. It is basically an industry run on a consignment model, kept alive through a massive subsidy. Though I guess this presumes profitable publishers, possibly a dubious assumption. Also, a lot of publishers don't even want the books back. At most you send the dust jackets or tear off the covers of paperbacks and are honor bound to see the books destroyed.

And don't even get me started with ebook prices, which are deliberately kept high so they're less competition for brick and mortar stores. Oh, wait, I pirate those.

As an aside, back when the Borders chain went belly up in the 2010s the publishers actually tried to assert a consignment model to get all their books back. As in, they asserted title never passed, and a sale never occurred. They lost, probably correct in an economic sense, definitely wrong in a legal one. The bankruptcy court forced them to use the same "industry practice" they've been using all along, and to get in line with their virtually worthless unsecured receivables with all the other creditors.

Sorry to respond to such an old post and sorry to vomit up such unlimited autism, but I'm way behind in this thread and I'd always thought running a bookstore would be a really cool thing to do. Until I looked at the economics of it for two minutes.
 
Cribbing this from the Lou Gagliardi thread.

For context, a little library is a small cabinet that some neighborhoods have where people can leave or take books and/or DVDs as they please. So OP and Lou (AKA Ash) are freaking out over someone leaving something popular for children in a cabinet that they don’t even have to take, simply because it’s Harry Potter. The only books you’ll be more likely to see in one of those is anything by Stephen King and maybe a Bible, from how popular and best selling HP is.

Sounds like he's heading for a Shia labouf style flameout. I wonder what his version of hwndu will be?
 
Saw a kid in my neighbourhood had a Harry Potter themed birthday party today. Made me think about how in the grand scheme of things the adults who spending all their time screaming about how you’re evil incarnate if you play wizard game/watch wizard show are super irrelevant. Kids are still the core audience for a kids’ franchise, they still like it and don’t have any idea what Rowling is doing on Twitter, and in 99% of cases if the parents even know they don’t care. It’s all a lot of screaming into the void, kind of like how they keep cranking out new Star Wars shows despite all the fanboy whining about that series for the past 25 years.
 
And he's constantly caping for trans-identified males (and ONLY trans-identified males*)
His tranny brother is quite literally the sole reason he does it. He wouldn't care otherwise and afaik he even told gina carano to bullshit about blm in a private convo, he doesn't believe in any of this other than when it personally conviniences him.

So he's Hugh Jackman 2.0. Got it.

Oh noes, not things that will encourage children to read.

Once I learned about Little Libraries I was so tempted to leave something like "My Body Is Me" in it. But Harry Potter would be so much more subtle.
 
I remember him saying once that the only reason he could work only with him so closely for so long is because he wasn't attracted to him.
Whether that's true or not, who knows. Comedic duos sticking together for a long time seems to be a thing in the UK comedy scene.
I mean he does have bipolar disorder, if he found someone willing to put up with him enough for him to be able to develop a career he probably would understand the value of that. He wouldn't have been able to reach success on his own.

(an obvious porn addict if the name he goes by, "Lux," is any indication)
What does this mean?

I think the husband has a passing resemblance to Louis Tomlinson and keeps the outdated haircut to increase the resemblance to his teenage 1D era. Even Louis himself doesn't have that haircut any more.

I've seen the comparison to Louis Tomlinson before, so I do think it's true. He's nearly 40 and has a teenage haircut.

The Bipolar thing is funny to me because I remember in 1997 a psychiatrist, Anthony Clare, interviewed Stephen Fry.

His diagnosis was that Stephen had Narcissism PD, not Bipolar.
