#MrPlow turns 25! Dan Castellaneta (voice of Homer & many more): "We didn’t know we were doing a classic at the time. We were just doing a show, but I remember thinking it was a very funny episode. It actually had some heart" https://t.co/G3HqrYH3PDpic.twitter.com/h3zNRqfILl

— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) November 17, 2017

The episode, which is all about Homer buying a snow plow, was born from one writer's wish to meet Adam West. "I wanted to do a winter episode, and then it occurred to me that if Homer bough a snow plow, we could have him go to the car show, and Adam West could be at the car show, and I could meet Adam West," said writer Jon Vitti. The cast and writers were very enthusiastic about meeting West, and it was a great experience for everyone. West's daughter says it was a milestone of his career since it introduced him to a new generation of fans.

The words to the catchy jingle were initially written as placeholder lyrics in the original draft, but it was apparently so bad that they left it to be in the actual episode.

Singer Linda Ronstadt, is also featured in the episode, but they had to fly to San Francisco to record her voicework. Apparently, she's wearing a mariachi inspired outfit in her commercial with Barney.

After coming out as one of the 130 gymnasts that were abused by USA gymnastics team doctor, Larry Nassar, Aly Raisman posted that women wearing sexy clothes doesn't give men the right to abuse them. Her teammate on both the 2012 and 2016 Olympic team, Gabby Douglas tweeted and deleted that it's a woman's responsibility to dress modestly and not entice the wrong crowd. Their teammate on the 2016 Olympic team, Simone Biles, screencapped it and called Gabby out and supported Aly and all women who are victims of sexual abuse. Gabby continued to make excuses when called out.

u misunderstood me. not blaming the victim at all. no man should look at any woman that way.

#JusticeLeague is heading for a disappointing $95 million box office opening https://t.co/drOfDk4Dzzpic.twitter.com/Oi7RmfUP6U

— Variety (@Variety) November 17, 2017

Early projections at the start of the weekend put Justice League at $110-115m, but looks like now it won't even be able to hit $100m. It earned $13m in Thursday previews and is projected to hit $95-97m by the end of the weekend. That would make it the 2nd lowest opening for a DCEU film after Man of Steel. Justice League cost $300 million to produce.

Julia Roberts'"Wonder" is doing amazingly well with current projections putting it at $20-25m. It was originally projected to do $9m at earlier this week.

Thor: Ragnarok is projected to do $30m+ in its third weekend.

In the latest episode of her Hulu series, Sarah Silverman sat down with a former skinhead to discuss his leaving/denouncing the movement, how he got involved, and how to encourage others to change their minds. It's a pretty thought provoking interview that I am sure ONTD will bitch about without watching.

She also went to her personal glasses retailer to argue with the dipshit who runs it, in an attempt to prove you can like someone and hate someone at the same time. I found it funny, but you guys probably won't.

"I grew up in 1980s Nashville," 'Mudbound' director Dee Rees says. "I grew up next to a Klan member, my dad was a cop, and I grew up three houses down from people who used confederate flags as curtains." Listen: https://t.co/05PKwrxtIwpic.twitter.com/bJHN0PEuJH

— Fresh Air (@nprfreshair) November 14, 2017

• Her childhood friend was the granddaughter of a klan member and told her she couldn't invite her to her birthday party because Rees was black


• Rees injected aspects of her family history into the backstory of the black family in Mudbound including the fact that her grandmother didn't want to pick cotton but wanted to be a stenographer


• Her great-great-great grandparents were slaves and she has a picture of them taken on a plantation


• Rees came out in her '20s and still had a hard time coming out to her parents even though she was living on her own and paying her own bills at that point


• Her real name is Diandrea


• Most of the people she credits with helping her in her career are men (including Spike Lee and Lee Daniels) so she's trying to be a woman who helps and mentors other women

Last night, Stephen Colbert asked Ben Affleck about his connection with Harvey Weinstein. Bloated Batfleck looked uncomfortable and began by saying, "This is a comedy show, correct?"

The conversation begins at 2:36. Ben looks really squirmy (and shiny).



On Harvey Weinstein: "It was awful to see the extent of [his] terrible crimes and it was hideous... I thought I understood the extent of the problem, and I thought I had a handle on it. The truth is, I really didn't. I didn't understand what it was to be groped, to be harassed, to be interrupted, talked over, paid less, pushed around, belittled, all of the things that women deal with that for me as a man I have the privilege of not having to deal with."

On the accusation against him:"What I was accused of by a woman was touching her breast while I gave her a hug. I don't remember it, but I absolutely apologize for it. I certainly don't think she's lying or making it up."


Do you think this was truly sprung on Ben, or did he ask Colbert to bring it up?
