So is buffcoat.

Very, very true.

ONLY if it's artistically justified.

[nec13]

It's amazing the things people will do for the sake of art. You have a lot of guts, buffcoat.

I'd never heard of this woman until she was mentioned on the show and had no strong feelings about her one way or the other in spite of her Hate Pit membership, but if her appearance on this week's I Love Movies podcast is any indication, Tom was quite right to throw her in said Pit. She came across as a huge jerk. The story that put me over the edge was when Ondi Timoner (director of Dig) appeared on Ms. Munn's show with her young child in tow. When Munn used the f-word in front of the child, Timoner asked that Olivia please not use such language in front of her child, which prompted Munn to call her a really rude word that I'm loathe to type. Munn's reasoning for being so upset over this seemingly reasonable request? "That's the energy on our show."

I'm thinking the Hate Pit might be too good for her.

I think it's unreasonable to bring a kid to a TV set and then demand that the host use appropriate language to cater to it. but even though I think she was right, the way she presented and handled it was embarrassing. "FUCK THAT BITCH NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO DO - GUYS, DONT YOU HATE BITCHY WOMEN? I SURE DO. ALL THEY DO IS NAG. LETS KILL SOME BEERS AND TALK ABOUT HALO, FELLAS. DO YOU GS THINK THIS BRA FITS OR IS IT TOO SMALL?"

Fair enough, but I do think not cursing in front of a child is more a matter of common courtesy than an imposition, although whether or not you agree with that depends, I suppose, on how important you consider the freedom to curse. For instance, if someone brings their kid over to my house, I would, as a matter of courtesy, refrain from cursing in front of the child even though I suppose I'd be within my rights to say, "This is my house and I'll say anything I want."

Yea, but bringing your kid to a television show filming, then making demands of the host? You can't demand that people censor themselves ON THEIR OWN TELEVISION SHOW PERFORMANCE. "You guys, this episode of The Sopranos needs to be clean, the 2nd A.D. brought his nephew to work." That's like bringing your kid to a comedy club and asking the stand-up to keep it clean.

Again, she's plenty hateable for other reasons.

I agree with all of this in general, but I want to point out that if you listen to Munn tell this story, she was cursing during the commercial break. Their show isn't on Showtime, after all! They don't curse during the actual show, she just couldn't help from cursing on set when the cameras were off.

Either way, Munn comes off sounding so much worse than the director in question.

[fyodor]

Munn is the type of person who loves attention whilst simultaneously hating/shitting on every single person who shows her this attention. If ever there was a case of someone whose obvious natural beauty is completely ruined by their disgusting personality, it's her. Also she loves drifting.

[fletcher munson]

She's cute and mean, which can be sexy, but unfortunately doesn't translate into funny - what I think she is going for.

[Tom Scharpling]

Wow. She is horrifically unfunny and apparently everybody tells her that she is, because she has entered into a whole new arena here, where she's actually doing character work. But she deserves the humiliation of thinking you're funny when you're not - one of the Top Five Humiliations - because she's a mean and horrible person.

Tom.

 A lot of guys like her because she's just one of the guys! Unfortunately, that type of guy is a giant asshole.

Bah, give me Erin Andrews any day over Olivia Munn... she's beautiful and just one of the guys too, but seems really cool and nice, and can talk sports instead of video games.
