We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

Casting call

I'm not going to lie to you guys. It can be really weird out here in LA. Someone is always trying to become the Next Big Thing. Unfortunately, people often have very odd ideas about what it means to be the Next Big Thing. To some, it means coming up with a brave, provocative story that has emotional resonance and gives the audience a greater understanding of a topic with which they were previously unfamiliar. To others, it means being naked on camera for an extended amount of time. To each his own, y'know?

So, when you're job hunting out here, you have to be careful. I mean, you never know when you'll stumble on something like this:

Clearly, Jane and Peter aren't THAT frustrated with their love lives if they're suddenly engaged. Also, they are unlikely an igneous rock formation, which is what the internet tells me PLUTONIC means. PLATONIC is the correct word, and a bad sign if this post is from the writer of the film, who is, by all accounts, a lovely talented Young Woman. I mean, if you can't believe the internet, who can you believe?

I also find it interesting that Peter is not being cast. Is he not relevant? Is his struggle not worth the effort? Oh, Wendy and Jane. Do not leave your plutonic friend out in the dust like this. It will be centuries before he breaks down.

This is a whole lotta mess in one little package, and a great way to start the day. Enjoy!

Also, I trimmed off the contact info, but if you'd like it, you let me know.

(Thanks, XB!)

  1. Psst...you have a typo in the first sentence.

    When I first read this, I thought "it's a sci-fi thing?" because I thought Plutonic had something to do with Pluto and I was kind of excited because I was all for trying to get Pluto back into the fold of planets. Alas, I was disappointed.

  2. Also, the random capitalization bothers me.
