It is a fantastic piece of writing. There are few genres I dislike more than “the price of fame”-type profiles, which tend to wallow in despair or seem exploitative, but this one was thoughtful, humane, and showed real sympathy for its subject.

“a lengthy description of Fraser rescuing a horse from the set of a History Channel series and bringing it back to his farm in upstate New York as a companion for his autistic son”

I’ve always found him incredibly endearing. He’s like a human puppy dog.

He was amazing in Scrubs. If you want to see someone be hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time, then watch his episodes.

I’ve always liked Brendan Fraser and he always seemed like a standup guy. If I’m rooting for anyone to have a comeback, it’s him.

The whole profile in which this appears is insanely poignant. That this isn’t the most compelling point is a testament to that piece.

you’re right @the ghost. I mean, god knows corruption is as American as apple pie. How dare she rail against it?

You sound like the people telling Lebron James to shut up and dribble, while mocking his lack of formal education beyond high school.

I was hoping you actually sat and watched Fifty Shades Freed and wondered where Michael B Jordan was.

I can confirm that these accounts are TOTALLY true: I went to see Black Panther on Thursday night and as soon as I entered the theater, someone had the GALL to look me in the FACE and tell me “YOU DON’T BELONG HERE.” Then they POINTED to the EXIT and said, “BLACK PANTHER IS ACTUALLY IN THE OTHER THEATER, THIS ONE IS…

The Venn diagram between this and Gamergate is a circle.

“Clearly the issue is mental health, and we will do everything in our power to help the mentally ill!”

Senator Rubio will comment on this situation as soon as he receives his official position and talking points from his NRA handler.

I don’t think the movie says that the billboard stunt is wrong, but it was the jumping off point for a lot of actions that were wrong.

The movie ends with a tease for the Pottsylvania cinematic universe.

Ditto. I loved him in The Wire, thought he was amazing in Chronicle, he obviously made a big critical impact in Fruitvale Station, he was great in Creed, and I was even happy to see him get chosen for Johnny Storm (until that movie turned into a total farce). He also seems to be a pretty cool guy from what I’ve seen…

Damn—I forgot all about The Wire. That woulda been 2002—according to Wiki he was at All My Children from March 2003 till June 2006. (Random fact—his character, Reggie, had a romance with a character played by Amanda Seyfried on the show, but she didn’t last long...)

I still remember seeing him back on (no laughing) All My Children as a teen, back around 2002? He had a rather cliche “rich white folk foster troubled black teen, then adopt him” story, but already stood out compared to the rest of the younger cast. He stuck around for a couple of years, but a headwriter change had…

Michael B. Jordan needs to be a star. The fact that almost every review gives him as much attention as Boseman makes me happy.
