Thank you. You just summed up my thoughts on this entire shitty blog post in one sentence. 

Agree. And totally agree about Karamo and I just love how he’s getting more time in the latest season, and bobby too he’s another one who’s contributions are often underrated, what he does goes beyond just decoration.

Of course you can. But that would be another movie. This one is based on a book and is told from the band’s perspective. It doesn’t have to be either or. If someone wants to make a movie telling this story from another angle they can do so if they want. 

I think the audience is fans/hair rock dinosaurs and, if it’s any good, people who will watch it out of morbid curiosity.

Like I said, I have no interest in the adventures of Motley Crue, and I would get your point if this were a fictional movie about a fictional band but in this case it’s a biography and you can’t take back what happened and I don’t like the idea of revisionist history or, even worse, making compatibility with #metoo a…

I actually have no interest in Motley Crue but the point is, it doesn’t sound like this movie is inaccurate in any way so if there are people who are interested in watching, who cares? 

As a reader, does it even matter? As long as it’s a good book...

Yeah I read it and remember thinking the guy was a narcissistic lying piece of shit. But at the same time if his prize is for writing fiction, does it really matter that he’s a lying sack of shit? I haven’t read his work so don’t have any opinion of that. 

Only if you have a very active imagination, which is apparently your case. How is a parent who let a kid sleep over at Michael Jackson’s the same as a rape victim? 

I disagree. There are definitely a lot of people who take issue with people blaming parents, and especially mothers, for their children’s abuse at the hands of others. Especially when their children are abused by their partners or if they’re also or have been victims of abuse.

Absolutely. But that doesn’t change the fact that this stuff happened. And if someone wants to make a show about it and people want to watch, why shouldn’t they? 

Why not let people make up their own minds and if something’s not for you, just don’t watch it?

Yeah I’m not interested either, it’s not a band I ever cared about. I might think differently if this were about the Stones or a band I actually enjoy. 

Yeah that’s why I said it was a gut instinct. I know the PC thing is to say all the blame lies with the abuser but I’m sorry as a parent and an adult you are at least partly to blame for shit happening to your kids that could have easily been avoided if you weren’t blinded by celebrity and wealth as in the case of…

Yeah not surprised either and to some extent it’s definitely a generational thing.

I’d heard of it for religious reasons, which I get. To each their own I guess. Personally, open bar and cheesy dance music are the only things that make weddings tolerable for me lol.

That’s crazy. I’d heard of people doing it for religious reasons. I think cash bars at weddings are super tacky. Honestly I think if you can’t afford to serve booze at your wedding, you should have a smaller wedding or wait. I can’t imagine making my friends pay to drink at my wedding. The only time I was invited to a…

Who wants a dry wedding?

I like to think there was a lot more going on behind the scenes that didn’t make it into the short episode, such as meetings, etc. with the bottler/distributor, etc. I don’t think they would make such a point about the guys teaching people there’s no shame in accepting help, if they weren’t going to be offering help…

I don’t know, something aobut the tone of the article suggests to me the author not-so-secretly wanted this to fail because then she could come in and write about how wrong it was for 5 queer men to think they could save 2 black women?
