Indeed. The picture wasn’t appropriate for either story. That’s what @KECS13 was getting at in the first tweet. So it was inappropriate for either story AND may have been either an incompetent mistake OR libelous trash when they attached it to the bank story. Not a good look, Sinclair.

Even if that explanation is true (and let’s just assume for argument that it is) that is a grossly loaded and inappropriate picture to run alongside a story about the baseless harassment (opinion mine) suit some cop filed against him.

A cop suing an unarmed protester for peace and justice is fucking priceless... MARA (Sorry, Rooney).

Sinclair is 100% partisan propaganda: Sinclair taking perilous political path with Boris Epshteyn.

Even the title “To the Bone” makes me nostalgic for bones that are less prominent these days. Wanna not watch the movie together? We can just eat popcorn? Ha ha?

Over the last year, I’ve lost about 55 lbs through a medically supervised program. I can easily see how people can get addicted to it. Even thought I hit my completely realistic goal - I felt that I needed/wanted to go lower; it’s a sweet package of smug, compliments, restriction, and that awesome control factor so…

Eating disorders are seductive. Any movie that wants to deal with the reality of an ED is going to glamorize them de facto because the warped perception is that they are glamorous. We can say that only the sufferer thinks it’s glamorous, but the popularity of Kate Moss’s, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” as…

Yeah, I’ve been in therapy for an ED for six years now, and even watching the trailer for this my fucked up mind kept feeling jealous of a fictional character whose life was falling apart.

I love the idea of on-screen narratives building a more understanding public when it comes to eating disorders, but if I watched…

Oh I 100% agree. I’m sure there is an abundance of material. I think the system is the issue, not this particular movie. You can blame producers a bit more, but it depends. Were they shown this story and wanted to tell it? Or did they actively search for an ED movie to produce? I just think it’s odd to criticize it…

Also, it’s one helluva competitive disease. We all seem to sickly want the gold medal in eating disorders.

I’ve been told (to my face, by more than one person) that the upside to my chronic, incurable disease for which I now take immunosuppresant chemo drugs is that “I’ll never be heavy! That’s got to feel good!”

Yeah, I remember when a woman came in to talk to us about her own eating disorder, and I took notes every time she mentioned how much she ate, or how hard she exercised. It just isn’t a disease that responds well to logical appeals.

Your breakroom comment really struck me - I’m amazed at how Petty and shitty people can be about food. I don’t have an eating disorder, and I’m a healthy weight, so I don’t get too much beef about my weight one way or another. But I’ve still been on the receiving end of some judgy-ass comments. Like over a chocolate…

I know the review mentions that there is a woman who is fat and bulimic, but I really do wish ED stories wouldn’t seemingly always focus on the story of a woman who gets unhealthily thin, then gets help. I feel like it almost implies that, if you’re not below your healthy BMI range, you’re not really that sick (and,…

I agree with you. An ED never really goes away. The same way that an alcoholic can always remember the thrill of the feeling of a budding buzz I still, to this day, feel elated whenever someone tells me I’m “so thin”. The positive reinforcement is truly the most dangerous for me.

Oh man. I sort of want to see this, but I’m literally a few weeks off from being kicked out of treatment myself and this will probably be too trigger for me right now. I had been in inpatient for 5 weeks, stepped down to a day program for a few weeks, and then they wanted to move me back up and I refused. Now I’m just…

I don’t remember it well, but I’m not sure Daisy in Girl, Interrupted had an eating disorder (or at least one that centered on being thin). I have anxiety issues around eating and swallowing that have nothing to do with thinness.  I have a giant irrational fear of choking, just like some people have giant irrational…

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like it’s kind of silly for people take issue that it’s a rich, white protagonist when it’s written by a rich, white woman about her own experiences. Is lack of representation a problem? Absolutely. But when it’s a personal story how can you complain? (Speaking mostly about the…

The problem with depicting consequences of unhealthy behavior is that an unhealthy person could give a shit about consequences.

I think it’s hard because people do value thinness. I was hospitalized with an eating disorder 20 years ago and people still told me how great I looked. I stopped getting my period and had hair growing all over me, I couldn’t sit in a chair without pain, but people still told me they were jealous about how I had the…
