Are you sure YOU know the definition of “lecture”?

I’ll let you google it, but the latest CDC piece has emotional abuse of men at slightly higher rates than that of women - and given your concern with abuse, I’m sure you’re aware that the massive societal shame in reporting or discussing abuse among men probably skews that higher; that you’re essentially doing…

My father flies into terrifying rage if I say anything at all. So I just have to take all of it (I’m tied to him for financial reasons due to medical issues.)

People who are trying to gaslight you rely on the back-and-forth.

There is nothing “obvious” one way or the other in this speciic case, but apart from that, I see your point. It’s distressing to the the AVClub rate so high a documentary that openly looks at only one side of a dirty, complex, emotional story, and it’s distressing to see the tweet-level crowd hurling itself at a…

Hmmm... I sort’a kind’a almost enjoyed it. but I got the impression if I watched too much of this stuff it would rot my brain to the point where I’d be in danger of becoming a Trump voter.

Except maybe House on Fire.

This is still part of the book, right?

I mean, I’ve been alive for slightly over 4 decades and I’ve met two bad dogs in that time.

While Meyers is often compared to Nora Ephron—the other major female auteur of the rom-com genre—I think a more apt comparison is Richard Curtis, the creative force behind movies like Love Actually, Notting Hill, and Four Weddings And A Funeral.

I find everything you wrote incredibly fascinating and heartbreaking. Is there any way to see any of your life work? Has it ever received cinema or streaming distribution?

A.A. this piece touched a nerve with me. I’ll say upfront I’m biased, and perhaps I’m just a bitter SOB full of sour grapes. But with that disclaimer, here’s my experience when it comes to festivals, as a filmmaker. I’ve been making films for close to twenty years. I have a half dozen features under my belt, as a…

+1 to all of this. This thread was killing me until I got to your comment. Thank you!

He’s not wrong? Or controversial?

Seriously. “Not even close?” Uh, it was pretty fucking awesome if you ask me.

I know that no matter whose byline Random Roles falls under, there’s always going to be omissions of beloved or important entries from an interviewee’s filmography, largely due to the realities of interview time allocation, and editing. But in this case, to not bring up or publish the one major top-billed role for…

This article is pure Wikipedia journalism. For those here eager to judge it be wise to first read anything by Osho to see if it is true what miss Katie Rife, author of this article states ”it also the story the story of what happens when you create a religion with no moral center, as Bhagwan did when he cherry picked…

Just finished the series. I agree that the directors gave waaay too much time to the Rajneeshee disciples. At first, the Rajneeshee interviews seem fascinating, but by the end, I couldn’t stand Niren’s yammering about how exclusive he was with Osho and how, boohoo, it was only after joining a cult that he finally got…

Katie (and anybody else who is interested) I just want to say that even though the whole Osho-Oregon episode is horrible and monstrous, I do recommend that you check out Osho’s teachings. For me, they are some of the most mind-blowing and life affirming discourses available. Which has always made the whole story…

I always thought the poisoning was to keep the locals from voting, and they didn’t mean to seriously injure/kill anyone.
