The ability to transact business anonymously.

I’ll try and follow up on this.

I’ll try and follow up on this. This is why I think a better solution might be to flag sites their third party fact checkers id without getting into the granular stuff- it introduces all these opportunity for error.

I searched Counterpunch itself for the name of the accuser and found this:

Have you ever paid money for a movie? Same thing, except the isn’t fractionalized and divided among several dozen entities.

I’m willing to give them another strike. This was, to the best of my knowledge, their first really big misstep.

I’ve never laughed at anything Chelsea Handler said. Never. I watched her youtube clip of going to a wedding in India... just more proof that she’s a racist, wilfully ignorant ass.

In fairness, I did say that poorly. Weinstein’s not the damn buster he’s the filth that spilled out. It’s the women who came forward who deserve the credit.

No, thank you to his victims who came forward.

I am going to have a fucking rage stroke and de the next time some hashtag resistance jerk praises George W Bush. W doesn’t stand for Woke. It stands for waterboarding.

Silicon Valley and San Francisco quietly raise their sanctimonious hands.

Possibly, but other industries aren’t as relentlessly sanctimonious.

It’s amazing that all this seems to have flowed out of Weinstein’s accusers coming forward. He was so powerful in Hollywood, way more powerful than the actors in his films, that once his victims started coming forward en masse about his criminal behavior than coming forward about anyone else become less terrifying.

Sad sign of the times: it’s just a shot of Jackie hanging in front of a green screen and being unstrapped from the harness so he can go to the bathroom.

The “right-wing” stuff feels a bit hollow because the first movie ends with a bunch of rich bureaucrats’ heads exploding (followed quickly by sodomy).

It’s not dumb to be in a youth group. It’s just a fact of life for a lot of people, and even if you’re not a super churchy person it’s nice to have peer groups. (Signed, pastor’s kid who is definitely not dumb.)

Don’t knock church youth groups. My parent never made me go to one but one of my friends in high school would get forced to go by his step dad so he started to ask me to go along as his guest.

My hat is off to the amazing job the marketing team have done on this movie. I can’t think of any Stephen King adaptation so hotly anticipated by people who’ve never heard of King.

This. Very well put. Not all horror movies are going to be perfect. There is just something cinema-magic cannot do that your imagination can. Useless side note:: My favorite horror/scary/thriller/suspense whatever you want to call is it Event Horizon. I love it in all its cheesy gory glory.
