As an NFL fan, I would say that cheerleaders are used as a marketing tool pretty often, so probably would be missed, if not by most fans, by the teams that have them for an easy way to squeeze a few more bucks out of fans for calendars, meet and greets, etc..

He had a girlfriend, so I think he was doing alright for himself

If you don’t want to listen to it, don’t listen to it.  You can probably google for a summary.  But the cell tower pings everyone thought were so significant are not reliable evidence of anything, it seems clear that Jay was fed info by the police, which is why his story kept changing, many of the things Jen and…

This is an astonishing thing for someone to write on an article about how prosecutors have successfully moved to vacate Syed’s conviction and free him in part because of evidence about two alternate suspects.  Like, seriously, do you even know what this article’s about?

Those investigations are not nearly what you think they are, and don’t come nearly to the Allen exonerating conclusion you think he does. The point about Soon Yi is he clearly has issues with boundaries that he is willing to blow right past. That was his children’s sister, his intimate partners’ child, and he groomed,…

Fair enough. Just curious what the basis was, hadn’t really heard it before, but who knows?

If you actually care about what actually happened in this case, you should listen to the first season of Undisclosed. Suffice it to say, Serial left a lot that was relevant on the table in service of chasing down red herrings. Undisclosed is an actual investigation by people who actually know how to conduct one,…

I mean, if having that mustache at that age means you’re untrustworthy or there’s something wrong with you, lots of fellas scrambling to have their moms throw away their old pictures. 

I’m sorry, I genuinely don’t know what you’re referring to. 

They could have put it to bed by just keeping Adnan in jail. He had lost all of his appeals.  He didn’t have any more real bites at the apple. Also, what exactly do you think is wrong with Adnan (other than what you might expect from someone who has been in prison since he was a teenager)?  What a weird thing to say.  

This case, to me, was a “routine” miscarriage of justice. At best, once the police got anything they considered credible pointing to a suspect, everyone went with it to get a conviction. This was a show about how the criminal justice system exists to manufacture convictions, not justice. This sort of sloppy, lazy,…

Bari Weiss, Joe Rogan, Thomas Chatterton Williams, J.K. Rowling, and the rest of the “free speech” brigade are surely all over this, correct?  Oh right, forgot, only criticism counts as real censorship.  The government trying to keep people from reading certain books is.....something else.

You can be an adult and still be someone’s “child,” so I think the attack there is less “she’s still like a child” and more “she’s his step-child.”  (Yes, I recognize that technically she was not his step-child, since he and Farrow never married, I also recognize that is completely beside the point!).

If I recall the specifics correctly, he was the primary male figure in her life, on account of the fact he was in a long-term intimate relationship with her mother (and undoubtedly a father figure to several of her siblings, some of whom he formally adopted), but basically ignored her entirely for years. Then his…

Even if you put aside that with every movie he releases you have to consider that the movie constitutes the voice of a guy who fingered his daughter and groomed, fucked, and, married his children’s sister (who he first met and came to know when he was a middle-aged adult and she was a young child), this is an 83 year…

Yep. If you’re going to write or say something about what “We” want or what makes “our” work easier, or whatever, it’s always worth taking a step back and asking whether “we” or “our” is the right word, and if so, who is included in “we” and “our.”

“We have to suggest that everything is spontaneous. You have a script, so you don’t come out with these words spontaneously. You have to work on it so that it appears to be spontaneous. That’s where it doesn’t make sense to me, what he said.”

Best attempt so far. 

What an embarrassing comment for you!

What an embarrassing comment. Why go to these lengths to defend a guy credibly accused of fingering his daughter?  Because you like his fucking films?  There are other filmmakers who have made great films.
