I actually think this is the right move. Go for a lower budget, have a tight runtime for your first film in a potential series, rather than the sprawling, bajillion dollar messes that were the Mummy, King Arthur and the various Transformers films.

I actually think the Rock was pretty spot on when he said he wanted Armie Hammer for Marvel/Shazam. Hammer is REALLY underrated, and could totally pull off the wide-eyed wonder of the character. The dude knows his shit.

The "stupid reason" is because they're an American colony. America, who still manages to have colonies after most of the traditional European powers got rid of theirs decades ago…

I honestly kind of agree with you. We have the most abhorrent candidate I can imagine as President now, Bush Jr. and his cronies might have been able to at least keep the veneer of reasonable human beings while causing over a million deaths and paving the way for ISIS, so you know what, may the Rock ISN'T such a bad…

Except he expresses Islamophobia routinely, meaning it is extremely relevant.

There are worse things than the Universe ending.

Care to say which one? Also, Sandler's a racist dick.

And claiming to know the person at the same time? That goes a past "projecting"

Honestly, we already set the insanity bar so low by getting Trump, that the Rock seems like a reasonable solution. Frankly, I haven't seen any evidence he'd be any worse than Bush Jr. either come to think of it. Then again, being responsible for over a million deaths will do that.

I used to be one of those assholes before I grew a conscience :P Sorry.

That's what I used to do to Agents of SHIELD!

But hasn't that been going on in different ways for centuries? Asshole inherit fortunes or family names giving them influence, or avenues to power (Ivy League Schools, etc). This is just a new incarnation of the same bullshit.

Yeah. She's clearly managed to keep spinning her brand in a way that Paris Hilton couldn't. I doubt she's a very nice person, but she knows how to play the game.

Do you have any evidence you even KNOW any of the parties in question?

You're giving WAY too much credit to the ramblings of a random person.

They have a "superiority complex" over you making lots of claims on one of the most fun, but also least important forums for human discussion in existence, rather than say- contacting the Police, FBI, a Lawyer, the ACLU, various LGBTQ advocacy groups, or Shelters for abuse survivors. There's also no way to prove who…

And of course, the AV Club is the place to make your stand. Not the ACLU, any number of LGBTQ groups, or Shelters who would likely help her if you had ANY sort of evidence. But no, this is where to fight the good fight. With people as Anime characters and Robots from MST3K as their only identifying pictures.

Boom. This comes off like someone who has nothing spinning lies for the fun of it, whether or not they know the parties in question or not.

Oh, well lets stop the fucking presses on this bullshit.

Fuck off.
