Like yeah, we have Jasper and Vidor, but on the gawker list of poc killed by police from 1999 to 2014, Texas holds only four spots and two of the cops out of four were indicted: one for…

I’ve yet to see you miss an opportunity to slam Barack. Congratulations on your diligence, though it must be exhausting.

Christ, no. That’s the last thing I want. I hate myself.

LOL! EXCELLENT parody of a Jezebel comment. You really nailed the self-righteous tone and even worked in a few buzzwords. Very well done. I give it an A-.

I’m sorry but there’s simply no way that you’re going to convince me that any studio is going to cut loose anyone whose last three movies netted better than half a billion dollars as well as winning all sorts of awards.

Said “child” was 19. They have been married for 20 years. At least get your facts straight. There is a huge difference between 14 and 19.

Silver Linings Playbook made over $230M and had a +1000% ROI.
