It’s worse because the context makes Leon the “helpless victim” of a “psychotically oversexed” girl; thereby absolving him of responsibility had he “succumbed to her advances.”

Motherfuck this grift ALL THE WAY up its ass!

Saw it when I was 23. Enjoyed the action; creeped out by the Portman/Reno "romance." Made exponentially worse by making HER character the "aggressor" of that relationship. Makes sense that Besson was projecting his "inner Polanski" through the flick.

BK Thailand should’ve swapped the BLACKPINK bun color/protein aesthetic: pink buns for the burger; black ones for the salmon.

OF COURSE they still “love” him! The man declared his “rich white male” status ENTITLED him to "grab pussy," and they couldn't pull the lever for him fast enough! 

To clarify: by “tipping nobody” I mean “tipping non-humans.”

...AFTER Zimmerman ignored orders from 911 dispatch to “let the REAL cops engage with Martin;” foolishly, irresponsibly and RACISTLY injecting himself into whatever “imminent threat” he perceived Martin to be. That’s not “standing your ground;” that’s “encroaching other people’s ground” to provoke an altercation that,…

Tipping in general should be optional IF you feel the HUMAN you’re tipping went “above and beyond” whatever service you already paid for. We need to stop “normalizing” compensating for employers too stingy/greedy to pay out livable wages. This “tipping nobody” bullshit is an inevitable progression of that grift, and…

Great. Now I’ll be spending the rest of the year paranoidly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Over/under on Hanks being outed as a:

I find it funny that when the mass shooter happens to be a PoC, LGBTQ+, Muslim or an “illegal immigrant,” it’s easy to accept that identity as the impetus to that massacre. But when the shooter all but wears flashing neon signs declaring white supremacist/Nazi ties...it HAD to have been something else.

I’m cool with Reese and Clark being “cool.” I’m cool with them NOT being “cool.”

I’m fine with PARENTS, TEACHERS or someone who’s MORALLY and LEGALLY responsible for the child’s welfare giving them “hands-on training” in essential life skills...even unpaid.

Goddamn, the A's are tanking so hard that even their announcers are showing their whole entire ass!

I’d go even simpler than the “kibbles and bits” discovery to the mere indignation or offense taken from “mis-identifying” someone’s gender prior to that person publicly declaring what they identify as. If “Person A” declares themselves a specific identity to “Person B” then afterwards B insists on identitying A by…

Texas SB 1993: ONLY in counties with 2 7M+ people, huh? Why not the whole damn state? They took a page out of Florida’s “self-governance dissolution bill” that juuuust so happens to only affect Disney.

I know, wishful thinking and all, but since NY state is content with reducing “concessions service” for its Thruway travelers to accommodate a business's religious stance, it should reduce its Sunday tolls for the INconvenience.

Yup; out of the house and back to the field...

Irony is, our current POTUS’ lack of due diligence while chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee is why we have “Teflon Thomas” on the bench now.

The state supporting a business with openly homophobic leadership aside, the disdain for their “road warriors” to allow a fast-food chain to not serve them on any particular day of the week is extremely galling.

This would be the best solution. If you’re gonna insist on honoring artists “outside the genre,” then don’t keep the honor’s designation "restrictive."
