This northun’ aggression is unsustainable.

Steve Bannon is pretty impressive for a writhing mass of excrement and maggots mimicking a human form.

Yeah, I think QT deserves angry comments on the Internet, and worse, but to get rid of everyone who’s in some way culpable would mean emptying Hollywood and starting from scratch. Which ain’t gonna happen.

Right there with you. I want to see this, and I will pay rather than pirate, but I won’t be seeing it on CBS All Access. Unless they significantly increase the value proposition somehow, which seems unlikely.

Oh yeah, I get that from the MIL once in a while, too. I just disengage and avoid her when she gets that way, because if I confront her, things will get ugly. I know her opinion of me is not much better than mine of her. I wouldn’t put it past her to issue an ultimatum to my GF - “It’s him or me, you choose!” She’s…

That blows. They’re missing out because they could be having a meaningful relationship with you if they could just show you a little respect.

Every once in a while her mom realizes they’ve gone too far and makes some sort of grand gesture to atone, like buying us some object that’s expensive (usually something we didn’t actually want). And cutting off the parents would mean cutting off the whole family, most of whom are really great people aside from their…

The focused rage of Chewie immediately after Han’s death was a great character moment, and proves that he’s not just a walking carpet. I’d like to see more of that.

He wasn’t ready then, but it makes for a better backstory if he later learns from his errors. Washington, Grant and Sherman all had fiascos in their military careers before they went on to become legendary generals.

That’s probably the healthy way to look at it. I shall endeavor to adopt your attitude.

For me, it’s not so much a need to be treated like an adult, it’s a desire to avoid the opposite, being infantilized. Fortunately for me, my parents are pretty good about that so I have no complaints there.

That’s kinda sick.

We did that once too! Everyone was much more relaxed, no prep, no cleanup. That was about 7-8 years ago. They refuse to consider doing it again, as if that was the year we all lost our minds or something.

I mean, let’s say for the sake of argument that she was actually the fuckup that they seem to think she is ... what would be the point of continuing to berate her after all these years? Do you really think you’re going to substantially change a 36-year-old? It’s so futile and mean.

She forgives quickly and easily, which is one of her great attributes and part of why I love her so much, but it also makes it easy for them to repeatedly victimize her because they know they can never totally destroy the relationship, no matter what they say or do. And all the bile and anger and condescension is…

Is Streep on the list of people in Hollywood who should’ve known and should’ve spoken up? Probably. But who in Hollywood from the past 40 years is OFF that list? Anyone?

They totally are.

There’s an awkward transition period where they want to be seen as adults before they’re ready, but once you get past that, you can build a new, even more meaningful relationship atop the foundation you’ve already built.

He was out squanchin’, eh? Gross.

Listen, if people want to bash on Streep, by all means, go for it, I have no qualms about that. But the anti-Streep rhetoric is taking all the oxygen out of the room. That’s what I have an issue with. Don’t make her the poster child for the Hollywood abuse scandal, she’s a secondary or tertiary figure. Should she be…
