That's a bummer, he's made a lot of disappointing choices but I really loved his performance as Kevin. Anyways, looking forward to watching this in a few short months!

Not due to his opinions but because of the risk those opinions create in the workplace. 

Whether it's because we follow science not Trump around here, or because we follow Christ not Trump, Kimball is an bad person. Crush or no crush.

Nah, you don't get to pronounce that as a fact. Sorry. You scolded someone for doing that the other day. That's your opinion. Period.

Trumpism isn't opinion- or viewpoint-based. It's predicated on lies, bigotry, and fake science. Kimball's views are not subject to being opinions, as they are easily contradicted by facts. And as Hogan stated, there is a risk posed by him in the workplace. The response to his views (after his tweets became widely known) by fellow cast members made it clear that they were uncomfortable with him.

I am unclear on what you thought was fact and not opinion (assuming your unreferenced comment was directed at me, which seems likely since I regularly rail against opinions masquerading as facts). My first  paragraph was simply my opinion on the import of someone else's post and my second paragraph was all about my conclusion that Kimball is a bad person (based on various other opinions about science, religion, and politics). "Bad" is one of those words (as I have also preached repeatedly here) that is by definition an opinion. I didn't think I had to explain that. I disagree with Fosse's latter post about one thing though. I think Trumpism can be an opinion; the definition of opinion includes ignorant ones. And I agree with you about one thing: there is nothing wrong with you liking the performance of someone even if they are personally reprehensible. There may, for example, be those who enjoy the performance of MJ (the show and its subject) despite his evil. Each of us gets to decide where to draw these lines. At the same time, each of us gets to protest that which we think deserves condemnation. But to get back to the original point, I think it is reasonable to exclude someone from a workplace when they pose a risk to others.

Please no. We barely survived the first Cats. No sequels.

Yeah, because how many people actually use Apple TV?

[Sutton Ross]

Posted: 8/4/21 at 1:18pm

Over 40 million. I don't know anyone that doesn't have it actually. Must be the whole Morning Show and Ted Lasso thing. 

September 10th! Cannot wait!

If you bought a new Apple product of any kind in the last year or so +, you received a free one year subscription…so I’d assume a lot of people have it for that reason alone (I’m one of those people lol).

I personally use AppleTv the least as they don’t have too much to offer but what they do have, I have enjoyed watching.

To none of our surprise, the film version has been indefinitely placed on hold.

To clarify; the Apple TV+ stage recording is not on hold, but the live-action feature film adaption filming in Gander, is.

I thought they’d sorta said this when the live filming was originally announced… Was a “doing pro-shot instead of movie adaptation” kinda thing. (My guess was they couldn’t come up with a way to bridge the dramatic feature/pseudo-documentary kinda line/structure that would still please the fans and the original creators.)

From Wikipedia: “On February 2, 2021, it was announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on the film industry and the performing arts, the plans for the film adaptation were cancelled in favor of producing a live film recording of the stage production…” 

Just not sure why this is suddenly news, unless they just wanted to make it EXTRA clear the traditional movie won’t be happening.

Despite what Wikipedia says, I'm pretty sure this was never officially announced.

I meant the indefinite postponement of the feature film, when the staged filming was announced.  They never specified at the time (February 2021) that the staged filming was replacing the feature film.  But we all speculated that.

I was sort of in the same line of thinking as Tag - I didn't think a regular film would still be happening. When I saw the headline about the "indefinite postponement" I was like "yeah, obviously, that makes sense," but then when you read they article, they say it's just because of the border issues surrounding COVID. So I guess they still plan to make a feature film when logistics allow? Seems strange. Why bother? They now have the filmed version, plus the documentary might as well be an adaptation of the musical since it covers virtually all the same info, with most of the same subjects telling most of the same anecdotes. A traditional feature feels very redundant.

Although, it hasn't been a problem before if you consider: Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, and Everybody's Talking About Jamie. I know the first two were many years after the filmed production. If anything, I'd say the filming of the show came out of nowhere, and a film version was first. Although, it could all be very "chicken or the egg" lol
