This piece from The Onion is officially ten years old, and I still love to read it on Halloween.
At Lainey, this is what her site does best: Why We Hired Bryan Singer: An Excuse. To wit: “This leaps out at me: ‘If challenged about his behavior, he sometimes cried.’ You know what that reminds me of? Catherine Hardwicke, who confessed to crying on the set of Twilight. Except Hardwicke was labelled difficult, and Singer is currently in talks to direct Red Sonja for $10 million. Showing any emotion on set is often a kiss of death for female filmmakers, meanwhile, Bryan Singer tantrums out so drastically he gets fired and yet his career continues, unabated. “
Also at Lainey, this is a VERY interesting convo about Mel B’s potentially shady Halloween costume.
