    What's that one with that lyric "I'm gonna marry you anyway"? It always used to be on in Asda when I went shopping and is the prime reason I use Morrisons now. How could anybody hear that song and think it's good? I know I listened to some shite when I was a kid but even at that age I would have turned the radio off pronto.

     

    Is it this abortion of a song??

    He hates him now too though. Supposedly he'd told Mercury stuff in confidence that ended up getting back to the office or whatever.

    Reading that document, I can't see how Punk can really justify this. Cabana only fought the lawsuit because Punk told him he'd be covered. Regardless of whatever else has gone on between them, leaving him with a 200k bill is out of line, especially since all Cabana actually did was try to back Punk up.

    Cabana's taking the piss with the demand for a million in punitive damages though.

    Absolutely...there'll be a mediation and a settlement agreement in all likelihood.

    Punk is 100% in the wrong, but the punitive damages is frivolous at best.

    I haven’t clicked on the article above but I assume it’s in reference to the James Gunn stuff?

    It’s interesting that we’re now in a position where celebrities are basically saying fuck you to companies the size of Disney. The #metoo movement seems to have given actors more of a voice. Which is great to see IMO.

    Whilst what Gunn said was shit, we as a society have managed to forget that some people say incredibly stupid fucking shit, some of which at an attempt of edgy humour, no matter how dark, we really need to take context in to consideration, rather than crucifying one person for failed dark humour, but letting a sex offender run the USA.

    While I will always think he’s a nob for saying what he said, because it wasn’t funny and was simply offensive, he has apologised for a very old failed attempt at being edgy. 

    It’s intesting to see that Big Dave and his co-workers clearly believe James is a good dude and deserves a 2nd chance. Seems to have worked too, Disney are considering re-hiring him.

    The thing about it that boggles my mind is that there is no way Disney wouldn't have vetted James Gunn before they hired him.  So Disney must have known about the tweets and the initial backlash from them, but they hired him anyway.  But they took the cowardly way out and just binned him instead of supporting the choice they made hiring him.  They must have felt he was the right kind of person to direct a Disney branded movie in 2013...not sure what Gunn has done different in 2018? It's not like Roseanne where he is a serial offender.
