Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball? Absolutely no! Kidman does what she’s good at; cold, uptight, victims. And she’s good at it. Playing women as funny and vibrant as Lucille Ball is way beyond her range. They need a comedian to play Lucille. 

Best of luck to the Kardashian-West clan, and I mean that sincerely. I grew up with a bipolar dad who I love very much but who was an incredibly volatile and frightening presence in my life for a good chunk of my childhood, so I have a ton of empathy for people navigating the mine field of how to treat their suffering…

Law school (and the extra $$$ you have to shell out for BARBRI, what a fucking racket) definitely helps in preparing for the bar, but in my experience doesn’t prepare anyone to actually practice law in the real world, which you have to learn on the job. I wish more states had an apprenticeship route available. Or that…

So one time I watched The Voice, and Candace’s daughter was a contestent, and back stage, Candace was saying “smile! Smile!” and her daughter wouldn’t, and her husband said, in a very nice accent. “She is Russian. She doesn’t have to smile.” And I think that statement holds.

Republicans are so completely devoid of empathy they are incapable of seeing the importance of something like paid family leave until it directly effects them on a personal level (and I’d be curious if the Federalist husband now agrees with Meghan). It’s one of the many, many reasons there is absolutely no talking to…

“I just think, maybe it takes personal experience sometimes to get on board,”

I love how a girlfriend’s highly specific and unprompted statement, corroborated by a lawyer who also represented the alleged bomb builder, that the guy was building bombs in an identified location is seen as insufficient for a warrant to search said location, but...

Female celebrities like Simpson and Kim K are always put down for succeeding in business “just because they were already celebrities”. No one says that shit to Jay-Z or any of the other men doing it. If it were so easy, then every male musician and actor or “entertainer” out there would also be billionaires.

I remember binging the series with my Ex when it was still in production. The only character I could stand at all was Miranda. I mostly wanted to beat Carrie mercilessly with a baseball bat.

Exactly. It’s refreshing to see a gajillionaire movie star’s rant to not be caused by ego, but by a desire to keep food on the table for the grip, the boom guy, the effects person.

I fully approve of this Cruise rant—he’s not just talking about MI movies, he’s talking about this film setting an example that movies can be made in the time of COVID without being superspreaders IF AND ONLY IF the crew follows the safety protocols in place. It matters, he’s right to lose his shit.

Are you fucking kidding with this garbage Tom Cruise take? Look, the guy is a fucking corny weirdo, but considering how many rich ASSHOLES we’ve seen just pretending COVID is not a thing so that their precious little lives don’t get the least bit interrupted, it’s fucking REFRESHING to see a celeb take it seriously.…

To me it seems like he knows how to apologize and knows about himself, had some therapy but really isn’t willing to really heal. I might be projecting.

I see my comment to the very sad individual below has disappeared.

I think both of you are really being unfair in this situation. FKA Twigs starred with Shia in the movie about this abusive childhood and alcoholism. She probably thought he has overcome his demons and was involved in this very intense movie. I’m sure they bonded very quickly and deeply than normal while making the film…

And fuck him if he can’t take responsibility for abusing people. Own your shit and do something about it, dude.

Correct. I am a lawyer, and given that she married him as a relative penniless server, all of her assets are community property, and thus could be seized. The other issue could be if they have a prenup, she’s wanting to divorce now so she gets her money, as opposed to later if he loses everything and can’t pay her. As…

This likely has to do with community property laws in California. As long as they’re married, her share of the community property can be seized to satisfy his debts. But using the divorce to hide his assets from the lawsuit is potentially fraudulent, which I read to be the point of the lawsuit.

I think what activists usually want is for the position they are advocating for to become policy, which can only happen if they actually advocate for that policy. They aren’t working for the DCCC.

Just call it police reform or something. Defund the police doesn’t do well with people who would support the policies themselves if they were called something different. The left really needs to pull its head out of its ass sometimes, of the right is going to keep dominating politics on the world stage.
