Music by Die Antwoord!
Hey, that’s Oscar Winner Akiva Goldsman and Oscar Winner Jared Leto, star of Oscar Winning film Suicide Squad, to you!
Perhaps the only upside to the AV Club’s Kinjafication is that glorious row of Big Butt Book pictures at the bottom of the article. Makes me excited for the next time Courtney Love does something crazy.
A Hugh Hefner biopic, directed by Brett Ratner, starring Jared Leto? Add a script by Akiva Goldsman and you’ve managed to make a movie that goes down in history as the least appealing movie pitch ever.
You can buy a house, you know, Bieber.

I wasn’t a huge fan either but I always appreciated that he seemed more genuine, bullshit-free, and easygoing than just about any musician of his generation. His music is so direct and simple (in the best possible sense of the word).
Fivethirtyeight published a chart recently that has him as the fifth most-played artist on radio, responsible for roughly one out of every 40 songs. That he has that honor without being divisive among music fans, and also somehow never had a #1 album on Billboard until 2014 says so much about how we accepted his…
You got me beat by 11 years, and every word you say is still fucking accurate. He was a great artist, and by all standards a great guy as well. This is definitely heartbreaking.
Fuck, man. I wasn’t even that huge a fan, I just loved the hit singles. But those singles were so great and ubiquitous that you assumed that he’d always be around to play them. Too young for a legend like him. Horrible day.
I’m 54 year old. Tom Petty and his music have been a constant in my life since I’m 13. I’ve worn out his records and seen him perform more times than I can count. He never quit. He has a new album and just finished a tour — he never became a “play the greatest hits at the county fair” guy.
It’s simply not fair to hold men responsible for their own actions where women are involved. It’s always the women’s fault for letting for them do it (or for not saying no loudly enough or fighting hard enough, or for being dressed like a slut, or for appearing outside without a male chaperone, or for existing and…
Of course the obvious fact that the majority of these women were usually quite young, often intoxicated and most of the men were much older, richer and powerful than themselves. But fuck them for showing up to be exploited, amirite.
I don’t know how you manage to fit through doorways being that obtuse!
Of course you don’t blame Hef. You seem like an awful human being.
He risked nothing by “accepting” black people as members or “bunnies”. I don’t think for a second he would have done so if he thought it would hurt his business.
I was thinking about his civil rights activism. To me, it seems that it all worked to serve men. He fought for sexual freedom (for men to freely enjoy women), he fought for women to get the pill (so that pregnancies wouldn’t hinder men’s sexual activities with women and men wouldn’t have to worry about being…
But apparently he didn’t call them bitches, so he’s a national hero.
But he was a civil rights and free speech leader, right?
