Sean Spicer certainly hopes they were.

Really? Colbert just brought word of these allegations to a MUCH wider audience than previously knew about them.

Except, even if his fare is mostly lightweight stuff, Colbert is a journalist. His show is a hybrid entertainment and news show. If you have someone who’s done or is accused of doing something newsworthy, and you’re interviewing them, you have an obligation to bring it up.

And it’s possible that Franco would say “you…

If they want to publish harmful, clickbaity Roiphe trash, they deserve to have their articles dry up for several issues.

Yeah. Get Out really should be Best Picture. It had literally everything you normally want in a best picture movie except big names.

Liz: Get out. I want you out of here.
Dennis: You can’t kick me out. I love you.
Liz: No. No. Get your stuff and get out. I’m not doing this anymore.
Dennis: You can’t kick me out. I’ve got squatter’s rights.
Liz: Which is it, you love me or you’ve got squatter’s rights?
Dennis: I don’t see how they’re mutually…

The list was publicized without her permission. But please go on and tell me more about how Harper’s is going to treat her fairly when the writer of the piece is a Serena Joy cool girl who thinks men are the real victims. You do realize there are countless lists like this out there, right? Women across all walks of…

My understanding is that the original list was never meant to be publicized, but was rather a sort of semi-private “watch out for these guys” list to be circulated among women in the business to help protect themselves. I don’t see a whole lot wrong with that. It’s certainly far from being in the same league as…

You mean the up-skirt jailbait guy? Yeah, that’s a hill worth defending.

I was annoyed that Get Out was shut out, but the more I read about the movie that got a lot of awards at the GGs instead, the more I’m pissed off.

I put this question to both Roiphe and Harper’s spokesperson. Former has yet to respond and latter declined to comment on any specifics re: forthcoming articles.

No. Also, the list wasn’t published. It was circulated privately.

Thanks for this breakdown. This movie sounds pretty horrible. I got a Coen Brothers vibe from the commercials (dirty stuff going on in a small town and, of course, Frances McDormand) but that also seemed to come off as an intentional bait-and-switch to lure in “that” moviegoer. And there’s nothing worse than a…

This reminds me of the conversation yesterday regarding a woman who left her life in limbo waiting to be proposed to by her bf and her frustration that he didn’t. She didn’t feel it was her place, or it wasn’t romantic to pressure him.

Clicks.

Change the locks. Done deal.

It seems to me that in the current environment, in which one of Roy Moore’s accusers had her house burned down and you can get death threats out of twitter beefs, the newsworthy bar for outing something like this has to be set pretty high.

Maybe he was hoping for this:

Tell that to Heather Heyer’s family.

It’s not always easy for me to gauge people’s ages, but just from eyeballing the pictures, I’d say that cheating at bingo is definitely white genocide.
