I don’t know... they’re both good enough that, for me, it’s too close to call. Regardless Cooper is who the Estate (that is, Bernstein’s own children) chose to tell the story. As far as I’m concerned, their choice needs to be given A LOT deference.

So, despite the seeming sincerity of their statement regarding the respectfulness with which Cooper approached the role, and their being okay with the nose... you’re implying thst Bernstein’s estate (i.e., his children,) only care about money, and would permit a mockery of their father, for the money.

I’ve followed her on IG for a minute. I wish I enjoyed *anything* as much that woman appears to enjoy spinning in a circle.

What about it makes it “clearly sarcasm”? If your answer is some version of “it’s too silly or ridiculous a position for anyone to actually/seriously take or espouse” my reply is “no it’s not” as evidence for which I will point to the party article above about people on Twitter sincerely calling for Sandra Bullock to…

I often see people on social media (outlets and commentators both, though outlets tend to be more diplomatic,) question whether Spears should ever have been released from any and all forms of conservatorship because she seems unhinged and messy... but the fact is that she doesn’t seem to be directly hurting herself or…

This is a pretty unremarkable ruling.

The whole article is about people on Black Twitter taking this sort of position. You and I may think this proposition is patently absurd, but there are obviously people out there whose sensibilities are pretty different.

“Speed” was a great action movie for its time. “Speed 2: Cruise Control”, decidedly less good. Fucking terrible, in fact. (except for the one scene with the bathtub and the leeches—Willem Dafoe can somehow elevate even the most hacky villains.)

Aaron is defending Bullock.

How did Azealia Banks make the list, but not Adina Howard’s “Freak Like Me”?

“[H]e’s busy sitting in a car with binoculars watching a librarian to make sure she doesn’t hand out The Gay to teenagers. At least, that’s his story.”

Sure, it condemns Lizzo. It provides a very sterile, neutral evaluation of Beyoncé's support for Lizzo.

I’m willing to bet Disney’s litigation budget for this case is vastly greater than the State of Florida’s. I mean, Disney has two multinational firms working this case, and I can practically guarantee that each firm has a team of well-pedigreed, zero-work-life-balance, pathologically overachieving associates and…

When a group of vulnerable people—but particularly women—credibly accuse a rich and powerful person of abusive behavior, exploiting an uneven power dynamic, or of therwise doing Bad™ things... isn’t it typically the rule here that one should side with the more vulnerable party(s) as a matter of course, and drag the…

“If Drake looks familiar to you, it’s because the Canadian actor starred as Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation for eight years.”

I agree that the overwhelming trauma of the experience could absolutely have operated to prevent her from even thinking of the possibility that she’d gotten pregnant from the rape, and that the thought never entered her mind. I am not saying that she knew she was pregnant.

That would be a plausible explanation if the claim were that the girl did know it was possible for her to be pregnant because she fell into some fictitious exception to the normal rule of pregnancy being able to resultf from sexual intercourse. But that is not the claim being made here. The claim is not that “she…

I’m saying that this representation by her mother feels like a pretty far fetched claim—i.e., that she did not possess the knowledge necessary to understand that it is possible for someone to be pregnant following sexual intercourse. I could understand someone not having this knowledge at that age if they’re extremely…

Hunter Biden is like the plastic Playskool keyring and keys you give to babies instead of your real keys. Endless fascination, probing, and experimentation for the baby—meanwhile the real keys are safe, and the adults get to do their adult business while the baby is distracted.

“In short, I’m sure we can all agree that a healthy and thriving GDP benefits all of us . . . . [T]he ability to inject money into the economy is something even rich, capitalist Republicans should want to get behind.”
