As reported here, this doesn't make legal or logical sense. In America, to get damages in a defamation case the defamation needs to be false. Either Johny Depp wasn't an abuser and he gets money, or Heard wasn't lying about the abuse and she gets money. For them to both get damages doesn't make sense unless there's…

Pretty sure “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” far pre-dates 21st century America. Neutrality is literally the easiest thing to do.

Exactly this. I can’t think of anyone who gave a career-best performance in Star Wars. Even actors who are widely critically acclaimed outside of Star Wars have turned in some real stinker performances in the franchise. And yes, Ingram's parkour sequence in the second episode is ridiculous, but that's on the people…

I don't mind Charlotte's second husband but I also haven't seen anything after season 4

A very fair take especially considering that almost none of the Sex and the City characters are likable in the first place. 

Funnily enough, I also still see Victor Garber as the Legally Blonde professor, but that association makes me want to kick him in the nuts and then run away rather than work with him.

A lot of the racist messaging is “she’s a shitty actor who was only hired because of tokenism” so the direct rebuttal does include “she’s a great actor! That's why we hired her!” But directly rebutting in this instance gives undue legitimacy to the critique, which is really just a veil for misogynoir.

McGillis’s character didn’t get cut just because of the “Tom Cruise shall not date age appropriate women.” It’s specifically because Kelly McGillis has aged unacceptably averagely according to Hollywood. According to her, “I’m old, and I’m fat, and I look age-appropriate for what my age is.” Personally I love the…

I agree. I don’t watch a wide variety of panel shows, but the ones I watch seem to be much more diverse than the American TV I watch. QI and Taskmaster both do a good job finding guests and contestants from a wide range of ethnicities, ages, orientations, abilities, physical attractiveness, etc. 

Health and the appearance of aging are related but not the same. Also, it’s not who you know, it’s the scientific method or anecdote. Clearly you’ve chosen anecdote which imo is the far inferior method!

I mean yes, but also there have been scientific studies on identical twins that confirm smoking and sun exposure prematurely age people.

They had pet birds. Who apparently traveled in the car sans cage

I love it. But I’m the kind of person that plays my whole Spotify library on shuffle, so its wild jumps in tone from sex farce to morality play to space opera aren't a problem. 

If your greatest hits list includes Gotham, I find your taste suspect.

Probably his animated shows not being to their taste or only knowing him from the “we saw your boobs” song. A Million Ways to Die in the West was also underwhelming. Personally I’m not a fan of any of the above. I actually stopped seeing someone because they were waaaay too into Family Guy (plus the INTERIOR of their…

Yeah, it's hard to take her seriously after that rooftop chase sequence. I just had that "parkour!" TikTok sound playing in my head

The automatic cauterization works wonders

There's gotta be more to it than that, or else the buyers would keep the money and invest it themselves.

There are a lot of other Force factions that technically could be their own religion? The Dathomir witches, whatever Ahsoka ends up as, etc. But I guess if there's a tangible, provable connection with some supernatural force it really cuts down on jamokes claiming they dug up golden tablets in the desert and everyone…
