Maybe it’s just that my brain’s swimming in dopamine after reading this story, but I don’t see him in the abuser role. Abusers have the power to inflict pain. He showed up pathetic and powerless. She could have ignored him or verbally kicked him aside but chose to treat him as a human and he responded.

I’m having a little cry having read their communication unfold. Her empathy and compassion and willingness to reach out is really moving but.....mindlessly calling a woman on Twitter a “cunt”? I appreciate SS took the time out to delve deep into his psyche and found someone in pain but lots of people are in pain. Lots…

I liked Silverman, edgy, smart. But her new show and this? I love her. It’s a lesson.

I love everything about Helena Bonham Carter, from her name to her scenery eating. She was the best thing about Fight Club, for sure! I myself am a “plain Jane” but I have sympathized with Ms. Carter’s struggles to avoid entering the “Driving Miss Daisy” stage of her career before she is dragged kicking and screaming…

Excellent point via your ancestors. I cannot imagine pierogi/vareniki made with sweet potatoes.

You are correct!

Priceless. My uncle’s daughter (not my cousin, as she’s from his first wife prior to him marrying my mother’s sister) moved to the US with her mother when her parents split and every time she goes back to Egypt to visit my uncle and aunt it’s post-cosmetic procedure and mid-fad diet, which my aunt thinks is hilarious.…

Coffee enema promoters claim that the point is to get caffeine to stimulate the vagus nerve and liver directly instead of doing it the old fashioned way through the other hole.

I would agree, but I would also note that this exact analysis is precisely what’s pushing movie producers to emphasize spectacle uber alles. Thirty years ago, television was seen as the lesser medium, and while you can certainly say there were good hour-long dramas (Star Trek: TNG!) or half-hour sitcoms (The Golden…

The poster complaining about a photo likely isn’t an Iranian, or perhaps doesn’t have much stake in what’s happening- every Iranian I know in LA (and, I’m literally surrounded by Iranian neighbors) is hoping for the overthrow of the current regime.

I think he’s attractive. There’s barely any variation in Hollywood, it’s nice to see someone with an interesting face and sex appeal. Most male stars with their glittering teeth and 8th grade gelled hair dos are unable to inspire any kind of attraction for me because they’re too vain and SO BORING. Adam Driver is good…

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy.

This is one of the many reasons no one is taking some feminists seriously. What these actors are paid has exactly zero to do with sexual harassment unless you are now conflating harassment with wage disparity. Try to stay on topic.

Based on what, other than suspicion? Women aren’t responsible for men’s bad behavior. This is only a half-step away from chanting “Lock Her Up!”

“Hot Take” Hazel - Sorry, but while using Armie Hammer as a photo example doesn’t necessarily negate your point, it does illustrate a wild lack of understanding of film financing. He received little to no money for his performance in Call Me By Your Name. That movie had a budget of $3 Million USD, was funded mostly…

And what proof do you have that she supports Harvey Weinstein? (By the way, substituting ‘rapist’ with ‘sexual deviant’ is not a good look. This is the same term religious Conservatives have used to describe gays, bisexuals, and, on occasion, women they consider ‘promiscuous’ or ‘ hypersexual’ in some way. It lumps…

The silliness and wrongheadedness of going after Streep allows the Clooneys, Pitts, Tarantinos, etc. off scot-free. Streep was not on the production-side as those men and Weinstein were - so anything she “knew” was derived from rumors unless she heard it from victims themselves directly. Which no victim has stated…

Get your alibi straight for Christ sakes you’ve had 27 years

Shakespeare: “Striving to better, oft we mar what’s well.”

I am done with calling out the actresses on this shit. Call out the magazine, the conglomerate who owns the magazine, etc. This is not her fault. We’re playing games with women who want to help because they arent 100% perfect meanwhile people are getting away with rampant discrimination, assault etc.
