I’m pretty much on board for anything Kaufman touches, but man, that book? THAT book? I really hope he veers from the source material because the most deeply unnerving thing about that book is that I was tricked into reading the whole thing. You don’t fully grasp how bad the book is until the very end, which is even…

It was a featured article at the top of AVClub two days ago.

Yea, this has been well covered. Clicks.

She was hired to play a role as a woman she looked nothing like. Maybe she wanted to look more like that woman.

Don’t get me wrong, the issue here is 100% casting. She was not cast well for the part. Is Julianne Moore a good actress? I think so. Could she have pulled the role off? I suppose a betting person would at least be hesitant to wager too much against her at this point.

Wearing makeup and costumes to play a character that doesn’t look like you naturally is a “yikes”? Jesus...

The Nice Guys should have been a lot better than it was but was hamstrung by the fact that it was written and directed by an idiot with no self-awareness.

You must be very proud of yourself.

Agreed. Kick-Ass was a homophobic, toxic nightmare.

;(

I know you were being humorous, but honestly, for Kevin Smith, doesn’t that make complete sense? To return to the thing that got you here in the first place in order to possibly come full circle?

Well, let’s hope so? There’s still hope.

I would have to assume getting just about as close to death as possible would possibly give you some perspective on things.

Good point. Yea, I never for a second questioned the allegations of emotional abuse, etc. The predatory behavior toward a 14 year old, though, was shocking to me and I was hoping that some kind of finding would at least explain it.

Never really a Ryan Adams fan, so I have no stakes here, but I’m just wondering how any former fans feel if the FBI investigation comes back as finding nothing. Would that be enough to make you feel comfortable being a fan again? Or is it just all too much by this point?

Point taken.

Alright fine, Ryan Adams is a pedophile.

also “fuck that pedo” seems to be a comment that gets likes.

Fair enough. No one. I wasn’t even expressing my opinion in the original comment. I was just pointing out that anyone who says anything other than “believe women” is going to be ostracized and ignored.

I feel like you didn’t understand my comment.
