The Rocky Horror Picture Show was mine. My uncle, who is a huge cult film buff, loaned me his copy & told my parents it was just a musical, in what I now believe was a particularly devilish practical joke. We got about as far in as Tim Curry’s first appearance before my dad went into full gay-panic mode & turned it…

I’m lucky, the worst I had was my mom and me and my brother watching The Nice Guys. My mom was surprisingly fine with it, but younger brother turned red at all the pornography scenes. Needless to say I got a kick out of that.

So what if it’s the kind of thing you would expect him to do? That doesn’t make it any less wrong.  And sure students can drop classes and give bad reviews, but that does not mean teachers don’t have an obligation to behave ethically.  And OK, Weinstein may have been worse but that’s a pretty low bar to clear. 

Thanks for the info, did not know about Sheedy till now, and she mentioned Christian Slater too! I read she has deleted the tweets, don’t know what that could mean, but yeah, sounds like a storm is forming. I have my matches ready, I just haven’t used them yet.

The plastic protection thing is f-weird, can’t be a one time thing, someone who does that should have a lot of other stories around (and maybe we wont have to wait too long to hear those). That’s what I’m saying: is a completely disgusting thing, but I’m still not in the “hope he burns in hell” camp yet, till I hear…

Yeah, by season 3 or so, Michael and Dwight start to become more sympathetic and many of the other male characters become less so (Toby is a jealous creepy loser, Ryan is a sociopath, Stanley is an arrogant philanderer, Jim is selfish and insensitive, Jan is manipulative, Oscar is snobby and immorally has an affair…

That denial tweet doesn’t sound like it was written by him. I usually withhold speculation on these things, but I doubt he wrote it.

Someone just told me that over on The Atlantic

I think you should respond “Oh my god - I was just talking to some complete asshole and he said the stupidest thing!” Then, when he’s offended, reassure him that you hadn’t said he was the stupid asshole you were just talking to.

To be fair, monster island is a true shithole, though even Godzilla is a better ruler than trump...

blah blah blah economic anxiety blah blah blah feel they’ve been burned by the system too many times blah blah blah feel they’ve been forgotten blah blah blah.

Thanks Obama

Trump thinks Hawaii is a country.

I’m waiting for all the people who claimed Trump voters aren’t bigots to begin offering apologies.

Oh, but his fans will believe it.

I mean, yes it’s common behavior. Because for men, sexual assault and harassment are common behaviors. That in no way makes it “normal,” or justifiable, or any way acceptable. Yes, we all know men will try things like this. That’s why there’s the #MeToo movement in the first place, because women—hell, any decent human…

It’s mental how he says something derogatory, gets called on it, and then says how much he loves the group of people he just insulted. Kind of like when he had made the Mexican comment and afterward posted a pic of himself eating a taco salad and with the statement, “I love Hispanics!”

There was some Republican Congressguy from Arizona on NPR this morning who said almost exactly that. I was as shocked as anyone that a politician from Arizona felt that something wasn’t racist.

It’s like when they thought we were all mad about him using the word “pussy” instead of being mad about him confessing to serial sexual assault.
