I thought Scientologists had all their raw emotions in check? Yes, I think it was a cheap shot and Rock has struck at both of them before in previous comments so maybe it was a The Last Straw scenario... But hitting someone? He could have yelled at him just like he did after the hit and still make his point in an…

Absolutely. It was a joke in terrible taste. But… you can’t hit people because they made you mad. That’s still assault.

Not to mention his slap barely made Rock flinch. 

It’s probably less about what Chris said and more about how she reacted to it, if that makes any sense.

Unfortunately, I can see the Academy adding more violence next year to increase viewership. Dame Judi Dench and Olivia Colman in fisticuffs. Timothee Chalamet slamming Tom Holland’s head into the stage. John Williams leaping from the ring to deliver a diving clothesline to Hans Zimmer.

This makes the most narrative sense to me, because they haven’t really shown Jack to be a villain... just a putz who’s a skilled swordsman (but doesn’t generally like to showcase that), is infatuated with Eleanor and is protective over his home. Yes, he was at the auction, but he’s uber-wealthy... I don’t imagine…

I agree, they've hinted multiple times now that Laura is a bit more clued in to Clint's world. And as you say, she's never been seen off that farm, even when the rest of the family went to NY.

And never looks like she’s broken a sweat doing any of them.

Your wife is a saint. I hope the bullshit teachers have had to go through is remembered the next time their union needs to go to the mat for fair pay, basic healthcare benefits, class size, resources - whatever teachers ask for they have damn well earned it.

I don’t remember where I saw this, but someone once said that what turned them to Pro Wrestling was that Wrestlers are less Jocks and more like Buff Theater Nerds.

Nothing about the Adam Driver “stanning” payoff?

Yeah, I don’t think JKR or anyone else involved knew what was supposed to be interesting about this story or setting. Why do we care that Ezra Miller is a secret Dumbledore? Is Dumbledore’s family special or important? Does the wizard Nazi plot actually connect to that? Does the lost Lestrange baby plot connect to it?…

Also why is Grindlewald the only wizard in this universe that looks like a cartoon character? It makes him look so stupid. At least with Voldemort there was some history there. He started off a normal guy who just turned in to a monster after years of literally tearing out chunks of his soul.

It was a terrible decision for them to do the transformation from Farrell to Depp. Farrell is the better actor, and doesn’t come with the same baggage as Depp does.

Funny you mention that, Jude Law, Colin, and Depp all played the same actor in the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnarsis after Ledger died during production. 

My whole theater too - and It was packed. Groans and boos.

We assume that Grindelwald was using polyjuice potion but I don’t think that was ever stated. So ever just normal Colin Farrell, or, he clearly enjoys makeup so they can make him look pretty close to Johnny Depp’s Grindelwald and we’ll just pretend nothing happened.

When I went to see the first movie and they did the big reveal that he was actually Johnny Depp the whole time, you could actually hear the whole theater groan. Collin Ferrell had been killing it, and then they’re like, “Surprise! It’s this zany guy you all know and love!” Actually kept me from seeing the sequel.

If…

I’ve been thinking like what you said since the first Purge movie. What really scares me about those is the people who want a Purge IRL. Well, boys and girls, other countries which had dictatorial regimes had purges of supposed “enemies” and “undesirables”, and suffice it to say, those sucked. Hard.

I'm lucky, then. I live in the California desert, in what could be called a suburb, and hear coyotes, owls and even some species of toad plus lots of different birds, almost every day. It's not quite country living, but near enough.
