Ah so Shania’s nonsense was just a relevance bid, just as Kanye West’s pro Trump lunacy is proving to be pre album buzz. When will these fuckwits realize that there are real lives and real policies with far reaching consequences for all of us at stake here?

In my experience, if you meet a dude and he has a dick piercing whether he hopes to fuck you or not, he will tell you about his dick piercing within the first five minutes of your conversation. I’ve met hundreds of dudes. Only two piercings.

You know, I’ve done a lot of stupid stuff in my life; a lot of it has rendered me injured. Not once have I ever looked at my dick and thought “You know what this needs? Excruciatingly painful jewelry.”

I understand it’s mostly douchebros and The Gays with Pierced Genitalia.

Aidy Bryant is larger than Amy Schumer and doesn’t appear to have the same crippling low self esteem. This movie is about ONE type of woman who has low self esteem. If you see yourself in that the overall message is “give less fucks”. I don’t understand the criticism being thrown at this movie.

Last week he tweeted we should throw out all of our material possessions, this week he was tweeting pictures of his new $1200/pair shoe line.

He’s trash. He married trash. He has trash friends and trash in-laws. What did people expect?

Nah, that’s what got him attention then, and this is what’s getting him attention now. You don’t need consistent beliefs when you just want people to look at you.

The only good thing about this movie is that it feels like it was made long before now - before Donald Trump was president - and for that reason it comforts me.

I can’t remember their name but a woman who left the group said Kruek ended up leaving before things got too weird/criminal.

Exactly. We’ve been hearing this “it’s up to you to change how others perceive you” message for decades, and now that it’s 2018 it’s starting to sound like a close relative of victim blaming. Ultimately, our culture needs to change.

I feel like the commenters saying that Amy isn’t fat enough/horrible enough looking to play this are forgetting that Lady Gaga was called “fat” at the Super Bowl. We, smart people, know that Amy is not a hideous monster, but she IS certainly outside of the box by the entertainment industry standards. I think these…

An actually overweight actress would go against the “joke” though; the point is that even a close-enough-to-standard woman has confidence issues.

I wonder what this movie would look like if Aidy Bryant was the lead and Amy Schumer was the best friend. A lot more interesting I’d imagine.

I actually loved this movie. I think it was a really REAL portrayal of women and our relationship with the mirror and with our own confidence. Schumer’s physical comedy was totally on point and I laughed out loud a lot. Michelle Williams was so gloriously GOOP-y.

I haven’t seen the movie, but the premise is backwards. It’s basically saying that the issue is a lack of self-confidence, and that women are holding themselves back. “If you simply act pretty and confident, that bartender will see you! You’ll get that promotion!” This doesn’t actually address the issue of our culture…

It’s a GD movie... They don’t all have to be comprehensive essays on the philosophical underpinnings of patriarchal society.

Am I missing something with the overt criticism of this movie? The large woman is arguably on the bottom of the social totem-pole. Do they not deserve a movie?

Objectively, Amy is skinnier and fitter than most American women her age. It feels a little surreal thinking of this movie as empowering, when much of its target audience dreams of looking like Amy.

Seems like an unnecessary knock... She has flaws (as do you and I), but she seems to be a decent person using her fame for lots of good, i.e. Everytown.
