I’ve been seeing a lot of different comments and thoughts around the differences of SVU Stabler vs OC Stabler coming down to Warren Leight. I really didn’t know too much about the situation besides what I’ve heard Chris say in interviews leading up to the new show, so I went looking for some context.

Not sure if this brings any more clarity or anything like that, thought I’d share.
here`s how the theory goes:
after the argument where warren almost shoots smithers; warren is told that he will be hung when they get to red rock if he shoots and kills general smithers. knowing that the only way he could legally kill smithers is if it were in self defense; warren devises a plan. he overhears that smither`s son is missing and he doesn`t know what happened to him. warren decides to use that to his advantage. he spins a yarn about how smither`s son tried to claim the bounty on his head but he turned the tables and raped and killed him. of course; this isn`t true as chris mannix points out. eventually; smithers believes the story and attempts to shoot warren; only to find himself on the recieving end of a bullet to the chest.
in the years since the hateful eight`s release; one of the biggest debates in regards to the movie is whether or not warren really did what he said he did. one of the biggest arguments towards it actually happening is that unlike most of the other stories in the movie; we actually see this one play out on screen. well; i don`t think that us seeing it automatically makes it true. it could just be what smithers is seeing in his head as warren tells his morbid tale.
also; you must keep in mind that at it`s heart; the hateful eight is a movie about lies. there is not a single scene in the movie where the truth is not distorted in some way. so; is it really that unbelievable that warren was merely lying to try to get smithers to shoot him?
When Youtuber Bryan Seeker did his casting the X-Men video series he tried his best to not to include any MCU actors. Are there any MCU actors you feel could have worked for X-Men roles if they hadn’t already been casted in the MCU?
Some personal picks:
Tom Hiddleston - either Warren/Angel or potentially Longshot.
Idris Elba - Bishop
Chris Evans - Cyclops.
Karl Urban - Wolverine
Mads Mikkelsen - Magneto
Any more suggestions?
In 2012 BDS was calling for musical boycotts. David Renzer (at the time Chairman/CEO of Universal Music Publishing) and Steve Schnur (Music President, Electronic Arts) got together to form a group to help protect their musical artists against BDS harassment called Creative Community for Peace. They soon got: Warner Bros Records, Sony/ATV Publishing, Geffen Records, Atlantic Records, Columbia Records, William Morris Endeavor, Interscope Records, Ultra Records, AEG Presents, Capitol Records, and Amazon to join. They offered 3 services to managers and agents:
-
Advice, recommendations and support in monitoring and/or managing the messages on social or in traditional media when their artists were under attack.
-
Support, information, and further explanations of various accusations or threats being made.
-
Arrangements to meet with – and possibly perform with – Israelis and Palestinians who use music and the art as a bridge to peace; to connect, communicate and better understand each other’s narratives.
Eventually bands started helping band members. Groups like: Bon Jovi, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, One Republic, The Backstreet Boys, Robbie Williams, Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso, alt-J, Chris Brown, Suzanne Vega, Diana Krall, Art Garfunkel, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Dionne Warwick, Rihanna, Clean Bandit, Martin Garrix, Kygo, Enrique Iglesias, The Chainsmokers, Carlos Vives, Jason Derulo, A$AP Ferg, Ziggy Marley, PUSHA T, Chronixx, David Guetta, Flying Lotus, The Black Eyed Peas, Metallica, Linkin Park, Lady Gaga, Daddy Yankee, Akon, Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber, 30 Seconds to Mars, Julio Iglesias, REM, Barbra Streisand, Kaiser Chiefs, Pet Shop Boys, Guns N’ Roses, Burt Bacharach, Cyndi Lauper, Placebo, Chris Cornell, Alan Parsons, Tony Bennett, Matisyahu, Ron Carter offered their own experiences in how they handled and dealt with BDSer led intimidation and harassment campaigns directly to the groups while allowing Creative Community for Peace to service record companies, managers / agents and band members.
Creative Community for Peace supports dialogue and exchange over cultural boycott:
> We at Creative Community For Peace hope for a peaceful and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We believe dialogue, which can be facilitated through the arts and music, is crucial to helping to achieve this goal. The BDS movement — both thr
