"Pope John Peeps II's new job."
or
"Maybe I'll get through to a room full of belligerent internet white knights, defending the honour of a poor defenseless steaming hot movie star who serves their fantasies if I write a thinly veiled satire proving my point."

"Yeah, so I got a job as the Park Ranger in Awesome Unicornland. Yeah, most of my duties are run of the mill. I have to milk the pixies, and then I have to exercise the giant Rainbow Tigers Who Shit Gold, and then I have to feed the Nameless Creature of Happiness and then saddle up the Unicorns. Really, some of my days are up to 20 hours long. Yeah, I have a real new-found respect for people who work in the Kingdom of Awesome because sometimes we have to undergo slight discomforts, like chafing from when we patrol the Kingdom riding on Flying Dragon Whale Airbeasts. Yeah, or sometimes I'll like.... maybe not get to eat lunch until 3. And sometimes I even have to work really really long hours.

Oh the pay? Oh I get paid about 2 million dollars every two months? What? Oh that's ridiculous. I'm not out of touch, my job is HARD. I have to undergo WORK. It's really draining. Sometimes you get THIRSTY, other times you get THIRSTY. Oh, did I say that already? Oh and you have to wear an uncomfortable thing. Oh why won't you believe that I'm just like you? And now I have way more respect for other people who have done what I do. We're like the Greatest Generation.

We're like soldiers who went to a mildly uncomfortable war and suffered mild discomfort and were paid an enormous amount of money and were recognized nationwide for our efforts. Oh aren't there any soldiers like that? Oh I wouldn't know. i'm too busy counting my money and then working so so hard."

How was that complaining exactly?

I can complain like a motherfucker, and lemme tell you Mr. Pope-on-a-rope John Peeps II...that wasn't shit.

The chick was describing her work day...the end.

Hope you don't talk to your wife/GF/partner like that.

@kolacek: Judging by this idiotic and imbecilic message, my girlfriend is much, much happier than yours.

I mean, there's only so much drool and spoon-fed baby food one poor woman can clean up. When will you release her, kolacek? When will you release her from her endless cycle of loveless makeouts to fallout boy albums?

Here's a tip for you and everyone else with fake internet names: Do some Googling before you blow your load. Some of us use our real names.

@tamoko: It's just so amazing how out-of-touch they are. I mean... everyone complains about work. I get that. It's the universal human condition. But there really is no way to make a bigger fucking ass of yourself than to complain about work while making millions upon millions, while everyone who is ever going to read your interview is making on average probably about 15 bucks an hour. And that's a generous number.

@Pope John Peeps II: I believe you've accidentally misplaced this comment. You were perhaps looking for the Megan Fox post?

Because I don't see any actual complaining here - only the light-hearted "Holy Shit! That was actually Epic! I'm exhausted! Who knew?!" punctuated by (laughs) that is the typical reaction to something like a roller coaster, a wilderness adventure, or wearing a rubber suit all day while jumping and running around on the set of an action movie.

@GreyHammer: even light hearted complaining is still complaining. Sure, it's not the worst. But why bother? Why do they need us to understand that making a movie was "hard", and so what... they really earned their millions because they had to wear an uncomfortable rubber suit for a couple of weeks? I mean... These aren't serious discomforts. Let's get a little bit real, instead of presenting your work as fake real.

@Pope John Peeps II: Here's the thing though - I'd rather see them complaining, because, to me, that shows they care about what they're doing. I'd rather see someone discuss how uncomfortable and demanding the shooting process was, rather than just say "No big deal, I got big bucks." That's someone who's just in it for the cash, not because they genuinely want to make a good film.

@Pope John Peeps II: being on house for a year does not make you a big star. there are plenty of actors who make 100s of thousands as opposed to millions, even for big films.

again though it doesnt sound like she is complaining only playfully saying the suits sucked but we got it done.

@Pope John Peeps II:
On the flipside, how many millions of dollars will be brought into the movie because it stars them rather than us. Plus, she only has a limited window to make money on her hotness, so I don't begrudge her the opportunity, jealous as I am. (BTW, if anyone wants to make another Tron starring me, I can be ready tomorrow.)

@Pope John Peeps II: I think ya need to relax. She's not making millions, however, she is making more than you ever will. But really, how would you go about the interview pope, in your position, since i know your perfect. "Yea i worked some 20 hour days, but it was simple, really easy, didn't even have to put any effort into the movie. In fact i don't really care at all how it turns out."... I mean you don't know anything about this person's life, you think you do, because you see her on tv, or in an interview. I mean, she worked hard and made it making movies/shows (for the moment). I understand it sucks, most of us will never be rich (fuck you CEO'S!) but how mature is it to go around pointing the finger at anybody who is better off than us? Should I sell all my possessions and live like a bum just because there are people out there who do live like that? No. I enjoy the benefits that are given and especially the ones i earn in life. Granted, there are people that are paid ridiculous salaries, and live like rich snobbish assholes, but that doesn't seem to fit this girl. But hey, i don't know her either.

"Although Get Smart popularized the term, the "Cone of Silence" actually originated on the syndicated TV show Science Fiction Theatre in an episode titled "Barrier of Silence" written by Lou Huston and first airing September 3, 1955-10 years ahead of the NBC comedy"

@Wheema: The fact that not a soul here knew of this earlier unknown example just backs up the assertion that the term, from a cultural point of view, is pure "Get Smart." I was more responding to the "Dune" reference. What was up with that?

And yes, you do gotta love Wikipedia.

Speaking of Bruces, while I likewise fear the H.S.M.-factor which DisneyKorp could apply here, it would be easily remedied: A Bruce Campbell cameo. (Nothing new for him; he was in Disney's _Sky High_, so he's worked for the rat previously.)

I mean, really, is there a film Bruce Campbell *can't* improve?
