If feels like they mixed that show they did a few years back with Jonah Hill(which I cant even bother to look up the name of) mixed with maybe Ex Machina.

I actually think this is an improvement over past efforts for Hemsworth. Not perfect, but better than some of his accent work from a few years ago. 

I love George Saunders, and the collection this story is featured in is my favorite of his work, so here’s hoping they do a good job adapting it.

Either that, or it’s based on a short story with the same title that’s linked right at the top of the article. One of the two.

(1) you can’t “groom” somebody who is over 18.  You can be a creepazoid, but you can’t GROOM someone who is an adult.
(2) why were these twins in a hot tub with him?
(3) why is there no byline on this article?

That’s all on him. He could have discussed beforehand his methodology with the  scene partner and intimacy coordinator so some guidelines could be established.

When reached for comment, Frank Langella only responded with the following

You got him, guys. True evil has been uprooted. I hope his tombstone reads He told a joke and touched a leg.

Go talk to that 19-year old Kobe Bryant “allegedly” raped and then apologized to and settled with privately about how she feels about the nonstop GOAT sainthood he’s been awarded since he passed... Talent and being a good person are clearly 2 different things.

I’m a woman, and very much approved of the Grammys’…

So he’s accused of, as an adult, asking other adults to consent to masturbating in front of them? That was it, right?

He publicly owned up to it and apologized. He had a megadeal with FX taken away. Comedy clubs were refunding people if customers could not stand to see him and walk out. Millions in tour dates cancelled. A solid 3+ years laying low...and she’s against cancel culture, but wants him to still pay for what he did?  All…

This review leaves me with a lot of questions about this doc, first and foremost what the filmmakers’ angle is. Is this a criticism of hormonal birth control from a woo woo “natural womanhood” perspective? A criticism of pharmaceutical companies? Far right natalist ideology masquerading as feminism?

Yes. Idiocracy was apparently a future documentary.

HBO Max schedules are all over the place. I remember they did drop all of Close Enough at once. But recently Peacemaker had 3 episodes in week 1, and then it was 1 ep weekly after that. Minx is 2 episodes weekly (and so was Hacks). Our Flag Means Death was 3, then 3, then 2, then 2...

What allegations? Their age difference was 2-3 years and it was consenting. More character assassinations from the AvClub commenters. 

Nope, they do the same thing for most of their shows

I really hope she’s seeing a therapist or psychologist or something because coming out of that conservatorship and suddenly having to take care of herself after all these years has to be jarring. Her posts as of late are a bit...odd? 

this man has been wanting to a normal comedy his whole career. i’m so happy for him and hope it’s above average, at least.

The casino boat I worked at briefly in college had to fire up the engines and move once per year to remain legally a boat. While this was a river boat and in a different state, it was still a boat who’s entire existing was a legal loophole. 

As much as I often complain about the tactics of the rich in avoiding and at times outright evading taxes with impunity I am completely with the boat owner here.
