"[Andy] got the signals crossed somehow and thought that she wanted him to come to the house naked and hook up," the Guardians of the Galaxy actor, 35, explained to Meyers of the scene. "So I show up naked at the house. Leslie is there—Amy Poehler is there—to receive a naked Andy."

For the first few takes, Pratt had been wearing flesh-colored underwear. "I'm not quite eliciting the response that I was hoping to from Amy," he said. "She's supposed to say, 'Oh, my gosh! Your penis!'" To get a genuine reaction from Poehler, he decided he was going to "go snake out" for the next take. "I went trou-down and the reaction was awesome! It's the one they used."
While Jones went along with it, Poehler was visibly shocked when she opened the door. Although the moment made the final cut, Pratt said NBC swore him to secrecy in an admonishing note.
"In the letter they did say, like, 'Hey listen, you can't do this, and also, probably don't go joke around about it. It's not a joking matter.' And it's not," he said, in between laughs.
I just get a blank page whenever I click that.
Strange how they only see the problem when it starts affecting their own.
I never saw a Forbes article on the backlash against The Last Night, for example.
It may be relevant that gets overlooked in the media. Then again, the whole premise of that show to me sounds unfunny, hence the Seth Rogen example.Oh wow. His sense of humor was kinda...interesting.
Disney fired him after Cernovich threw it in the open. What Disney did, was a reaction. Yeah, they did the actual firing, but Cernovich definitely lit that fuse.Except we all need to realize and understand that it wasn't this single person that got him fired. It was Disney that fired him and it's 100% their choice.
But to what intent? Given that the Wiki page references that Cernovich is no stranger to these things, would his intent be to be informative, or malicious?All the one person did was uncover some tweets for the world to see.
Well that is Disney (And a lot of big shot corps) for you. That is the least surprising bit, imo.If there's some here that you don't like, it should be that Disney (a multi-billion dollar corporation) fired a guy so quickly without at least allowing him to make some kind of public statement or apology.
You know Hulk Hogan literally got fired for saying a few bad things in private while secretly being taped, right?Did you guys know WWE had a thing called the ‘Attitude era’? Well they did. I just stumbled upon it and I’m outraged. Everyone working there should be sent to prison.
You think Forbes is left wing???
And you honestly think Forbes would report on an Indie game?????
Guardians of the Galaxy is just a *tad* more impactful than The Last Night, and considering Forbes is a financial magazine, I'm guessing that matters
I was just about to post this.You know Hulk Hogan literally got fired for saying a few bad things in private while secretly being taped, right?
Gunn- "It was a joke"This whole thing is hilarious. It's specially funny to watch retardera, of all places, defending Gunn. "It was just a joke" LOL
I think both statements are incredibly flawed. Shrugging one of the tweets off as a joke and perhaps in relation to a comedy show that only rain for 8 episodes and thus has little lasting effect in the memories of the communities at large, that kind of tweet still looks repugnant. All the context does is showcase it was for a unsuccesful skit show around sex jokes. Which usually are the more pre-mature (bark bark bark! harr!) ones to begin with.Gunn- "It was a joke"
Count Dankula- "Definitely a Nazi"
So you would be OK with them giving PewDiePie his show back they canceled?Did you guys know WWE had a thing called the ‘Attitude era’? Well they did. I just stumbled upon it and I’m outraged. Everyone working there should be sent to prison.
How about South Park? Talk about insensitive!!! The people associated with that show should be destroyed.
This whole thing with James Gunn is kind of ridiculous. Disney, smarten up! The world was a very different place back then.
James has given you a very successful franchise - a marvel property that was not on anyone radar. He also contributed to giving us some of the best parts of infinity war. His tweets are ancient; from another time and place.
....give me a break...
Despite a few cringey threads (mostly low-effort political ones) and some cringe posts (from both sides, mind you), I love the environment of the NeoGAF now, where I might see people with completely different point of views argue and explore the limits of their point of view or test their rhetorical abilities, and where I might even think "you are both right" or at least "I see where both of you come from". I also love that we have a great moderation team that are careful and wise in regards to intervening in a thread/discussion. Especially that we're not plagued with User warned/banned: Arguing in bad faith, a history of x, downplaying misogyny, trolling, etc. in just about every thread where someone goes against the status quo.
Oh here we go.It might be a coincidence but do you know who controls the media
He was a writer too.Meh, directors are replaceable. Actors carry the movie and breakthrough whatever shit the directors set up anyway.
Rich liberals.Oh here we go.
Rich liberals.
Rich liberals.
One last piece I wanted to say about this. People are worried that society is overracting but think of it like this there are so many people who got away with it.
I was listening to sports radio and they mentioned Ben Roethlisberger , I forgot all about how this guy got away with straight up rape. The hall of famer Peyton Manning laid his genitals on a trainers face, then harassed her afterwards not to tell. They will be extra hard on the people who cross the line because there are some they can't get to.

Try saying that on ResetEra.An accusation doesn't mean he did it.
Uh... one he was sued in civil court and settled out of court (A.K.A accused by a gold digger and it was cheaper to pay to make it go away) and the other the supposed victim withdrew her complaint?Sure....but it's pretty clear he did it. Look at what happened afterwards.

Who the fuck is talking about Peyton Manning?Bruh! This has been vetted pretty well. You call her a gold digger, but most people will view it as Peyton using his money to get away from a situation that happened that's terrible for his image.
Less than three hours after the Feb. 29, 1996, training room incident, then-trainer Jamie Naughright called a Knoxville sexual assault crisis center hotline and said she had been victimized that evening by a "very well-known public figure ... an athlete at UT" and that she had already reported the incident to her supervisor. Manning was never the subject of a criminal investigation in the incident. But in a 1996 complaint against the University of Tennessee, Naughright accused Manning of assaulting her while she examined his ankle. Manning has denied that he assaulted her, saying instead that he was "mooning" another athlete. But that athlete, cross-country runner Malcolm Saxon, disputed Manning's account in an affidavit and said both he and Naughright were shocked by the incident at the time. Naughright agreed to leave the university as part of a $300,000 settlement.According to the notes, "Rollo told her tonite ... I don't think this is best handled by press or police." That description resembles what Rollo later said in a deposition related to the lawsuit: That he had seen Naughright at a friend's house that evening and that they should not call the police or media. The incident was never reported to police. Rollo said in his deposition that Naughright never described the incident as a "mooning" and he had come up with the description. In his deposition, he said he regretted it.The official university investigation in 1997 termed the incident "horseplay that cannot be prevented" after interviewing Naughright, Manning and Saxon. Saxon, in the affidavit in the defamation case, disputed that he was quoted accurately. The University of Tennessee has declined to discuss the investigation since it was completed in 1997 and did not return a phone call from ESPN. Saxon was not deposed in the lawsuit. Reached last week, he said in a text, "I have said 'no comment' for 20 years. I have moved on."http://www.espn.com/espn/otl/story/...al-assault-crisis-center-report-1996-incident
Like come on man. It's ok to admit that men screw up sometimes.

CEOs and executives of multi billion companies usually dont admit they made mistakes in firing somebody and have to hire them back unless theres huge financial benefits in doing so.
It's a turd in the toilet that wont flush.
You gotta get your hand in their and give it a little push.
Or a potato masher.
FLUUUSH YOU FUCK!! YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME.
Nice to see the whole crew banding together, not sure what the message is there as it falls short of demanding he gets re-hired. He said stupid shit but is a decent guy? so what. Decent folks get fired for saying stupid shit all the time. I don't think Disney ever painted the guy in a poor light, they just fired him without much discussion.
As for the future of GotG, the script for Vol.3 was already written so hopefully they can find another director to bring it to life. I hope with the change of director they stop trying to shoe-horn Sean Gun into the film. He was okay in very short doses in Vol.1, but setting him up to be a major character in Vol.2 had me worried.
