“No wonder young people’s language is becoming increasingly more inane and banal.”

Go ahead and use those words. You might be hurting people’s feelings that you didn’t mean to hurt, but if that’s ok with you, knock yourself out.

Sure, but I’m guessing a few years of not having to, you know, play defense, will lead to some pretty bad habits.

Yeah, I saw he had been saying he would have been a better choice in some forum. From a martial arts perspective, definitely, and while it’s hard to judge his acting from one fight scene, he at least seemed to have a good presence (and while I didn’t hate Finn Jones’s acting as much as some did, it was hardly…

I took like 5 years of martial arts 15 years ago and *my* moves are better than Iron Fist. It’s not even the fight scenes that they can, to some degree edit around, it’s whenever he’s doing anything slow – that shit is infuriating. Leaving aside Finn Jones as an actor, if you’re going to hire a guy with no martial…

He was choking her out in the memory. It is certainly plausible that he killed her (though also that he merely abducted her).

It’s also possible he merely rendered her unconscious.

It does seem like it would be good for her to get a head coaching job somewhere where she knew a couple of the players, just because it seems almost assured that some players who don’t know her are going to respond with some macho bullshit.

I’m reminded of a 1960s Candid Camera ‘prank’ where the big joke was the pilots were women. People (including the flight attendants) were freaking the fuck out.

...and that means it’s ok to offer them as sex dolls to wealthy clients? You lost me.

Oh my god! Yeah because the hair was totally different I didn’t put those guys together. Yeah he was great in that.

Well yeah (or rather from HBO that I subscribe to for other reasons). I mean, if I’d paid $30 for my wife and I to see it in the theatre I would not have been too happy. Otoh I saw Tomb Raider in the theatre and that’s probably worse (it’s certainly less goofy) and I wasn’t all that mad about it.

On the one hand terrible, but on the other hand I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Yeah, also while Weinstein clearly impeded the process it’s not like she had a part in hand. Maybe that’s sufficient grounds to sue, but “cost her a role in Lord of the Rings” doesn’t seem accurate.

I mean basically because it’s never really about sex, it’s about the feeling of power when you have someone who you can completely dominate.

Yeah, but Shkreli wasn’t put away for the really awful shit he did (e.g. gouging sick people). That would have been like if Cosby ended up getting put away for trying to expense the drugs on his taxes or something.

That sound like your answer is just “no” then (which doesn’t seem completely unreasonable). Let’s take Louis CK, since he is a) reasonably young and b) on the scale of these things isn’t accused of behavior as bad as, say, Cosby or Weinstein (that is *not* to excuse what he did). Your proposal is that if he could find…

I don’t see how the 80s Running Man is relevant here. I mean, it’s not like they *had* to do it the way they did – it was just a bad adaptation (at least in terms of being faithful to the themes of the book).

Was it? I haven’t seen that in years. I’ll have to watch it again (especially because I have a 5-year-old now...)

I don’t think I’ve left a movie before the end of the credit since the end of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off...
