Does anyone [...]

For a man from Wales, his accent sounds highly Americanized – yes, perhaps a result of his many years in the States – but perhaps also a sign of a pretty conflicted personality.

This guy should find some help.

I don’t think so. I think an orgy of information is always preferable to a considerable lack thereof, especially in closed-door industries like entertainment.

Have you ever seen a press junket when actors are asked to comment on other actors? It’s just one big love fest or a series of thinly veiled insults. I like these little glimpses into the real on-set lives of movie stars.

@Liz – Great deconstruction! Is there a 6th Stage? Resolution? Then a 7th Stage (possibly only reserved for the truly amazing memes)? More Remixing?

While viral content can be wildly popular (I’ll admit, I listened to the rant and the remix), does it ever go to far? Can it be dangerous? Yes and yes, but where do we draw the line? I don’t want rules on what I watch online. No one forced me to watch and listen. Isn’t it ultimately our responsibility?
