I love John Wayne’s work, but man, my respect for him seems to take a nosedive every year now.

At least they’re doing it while she’s still alive.

“John Wayne is still relevant!”

It wasn’t Brando’s greatest idea to put her in the middle of the storm like that. A form of serious backlash was predictable, even if the severity of it wasn’t.

Creature comfort since she has terminal cancer.  But I guess better late then never. 

John Wayne supposedly hated Brando for reasons unrelated to this so I suspect he would have done the same.

I feel like every time I hear a John Wayne anecdote it just paints a clearer and clearer picture of what a viciously petty and self important child he was.

Let’s not forget her turn as one of the wicked step sisters in the 60s version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella!

Pat Carroll was a wonderful comedienne! Whenever she showed up on tv, we perked up. This was on our13" Dumont tv and later on 21" RCA. I’m sorry that our younger generation doesn’t get t see the skits she was in.

Oh that's a damn shame.  Glad she made it to 95 but still, damn.  What a performance!  The Disney Renaissance started off with one of the best villains who had one of the best songs and one of the best laughes!  That laugh!  Pat Carroll was having an absolute ball, she's having so much fun that I'm having fun just…

Sorry, of all the things that are actually “gross” and “despicable” in this fucked up world we currently inhabit, a couple of statues of TV characters doesn’t really come to mind. You MIGHT be over thinking this.

“...and The Vivienne is called the “Powerhouse Scout””

It wouldn’t be for their opinion. It would be for refusing to do their job. And I’m indifferent to whether they get fired or not. 

LOL, he’s already ate his cake and has an entire bakery just waiting to make him another one. Nothing in any of Dave’s shows have changed my views on the Trans community. Unfortunately, the hatred being spewed either by or on behalf of them, has changed my perception. Is it ok for me to tell the Trans community that…

Regardless of Chappelle’s views and recent statements, cancelling a sold-out show just hours before he was set to perform is unprofessional. Unless there’s some form of health risk like a fire, bomb threat or local outbreak, you honor your agreements.

“getting very angry at people suggesting that transphobic material by one of the most well-known and popular comedians on the planet might go some way toward propagating harmful attitudes towards trans people.”

These are minimum wage, minimum skill workers who work in a … checks notes…yep, an ‘at will employment’ state. That means the theatre owners can fire them without cause or explanation. They could, if they were so inclined, fire a few of them, hire some replacements, fire a few more, and so on until all the…

Sounds like firing them would be reasonable.

Allegedly the staff of the first venue refused to come in to work for the Chappelle event.

You're just writing about this now? This happened like two days ago and the entire internet has already weighed in. Just, what's even the point?
