Stone: “I also do not consider a reference to Richard Linklater ‘s film Slacker to be an informed comment on either the murder of President Kennedy, the cover up that ensued, or my 1991 film JFK.”

Because we actually liked our presidents back then and people were pissed when they got killed.
Take THAT, Richard Linklater!
IIRC Jim Garrison believed that the JFK assassination was done by a bunch of gay guys who were out for a “thrill kill”. In that context it seems like Oliver Stone basically made a movie about the story of a homophobic man’s delusions.
God that letter is so disorganized and full of speculation . And I so tire of the rhetorical argument that because person A has a connection to person B, person A must therefore be corrupt or otherwise in league with person B.

I love the occasional reminder that Channing Tatum used to be a stripper.
She is such an amazing actress. In that scene and the very next when she attempts to be composed in front of her children. I’ve never gone through anything that heart-wrenching but you can empathize due to her sheer talent. Off to re-watch.

Honestly, it wasn’t crazy hard or anything. I think I just made unfortunately solid contact. It was like I knew right away “oh shit, this is gonna be bad” and yep.
Yeah it was exceedingly uncomfortable just sitting there trying to do nothing but stare straight ahead like I cared what was happening on the screen.
You only have to graze nuts to make a guy feel like he wants to vomit. But for it to actually trigger the vom reflex, your strike has to be on point, accurate, and either ferociously hard and sharp, or savagely strong and grippy for a few seconds.
Oh my god, I can relate to this. Went through his phone when he went to the bathroom cause he had been pretty damn bad about hiding it earlier that day. Bam. Most recent text convo.
