Turns out they ALL did it.

Which reminds me of Disney’s nature films, particularly the one where they literally threw lemmings off a cliff to ‘prove’ lemmings do that thing they don’t actually do.

Again, not really understanding your point—as you keep answering your own questions, then refusing to process your own answers. Jackson wanted to be on The Simpsons, and so an episode was created for him. It was vital to him that his episode be kid-friendly (which it was). He’s not credited, but—as with Dustin…

Not really getting your point on this. There were a variety of reasons to pull the content--including that it was a perversion of the creators’ intent, and that MJ’s entire career could be seen as a guidebook for other pedophiles. Pulling the episode, while harsh, certainly makes sense, and ultimately it is up to the…

His victims are not.

Al Jean--of the much-maligned The Simpsons--made a depressing point when explaining why they’d removed the Michael Jackson episode from the extensive library. He said he didn’t think it appropriate to remove every episode of every horrible guest star, but with the MJ episode it seemed the right thing to do. Because…

‘Call Me By Your Name’ is a prequel to ‘James and the Giant Peach’.

The old Mamet would’ve just written a prequel to Oleanna and let the work speak.

Does Apple plan to ever release all these shows, or are they doing the thing where they make them and put them in a vault for future civilizations to discover?

I saw this movie in a single-screen theater on the UWS in Manhattan one Wednesday afternoon. The theater closed a year later—it was gloriously trashy, with elements of an old palace-theater history adapted to fit a more modern theatrical experience. There were maybe 15 other people in the audience, and I sat across…

Also Men in Black, where he’s an alien. That joke now feels almost dismissive of the charges--and it wasn’t like we were unaware then.

I bet every yogurt order was a memorable, emotionally raw experience, though.

For people who aren’t brainwashed, they certainly sound exactly like the not-brainwashing suspect.

Also, using the famous kids--allowing them to mingle with the ‘nobody’ kids--is as much of a grooming technique as buying the parents clothing and houses. I wonder if Culkin and Feldman have considered that they were used as a tool to gain other kids’ trust and to enhance those kids awe of Michael? Michael promised to…

You’d need to ask the original poster, who seems to think Bernie living through the 1960s makes him somehow unflappable. 

Most people his age lived through the 60s, and it doesn’t make them any less confused about things.

I don’t think it’s just to take down WaPo, though. The idea is to go after libel laws, and... remember that ‘chilling effect’ journalists were always saying Obama was causing? This is aiming to be a truly cryogenic effect, like with Walt Disney’s head, only the head is the 1st amendment.

Probably, with Clarence Thomas putting in pro-bono work.

If Ted Cruz can shut down the government with it, Netflix can stretch it out into a series.

It’s just.... stupid and harmful. If you want to boost your Q-rating, why not “leak” a sex tape, or do some random act of charity that “leaks” to the press, or even fake a car accident or something? Staging a fake hate-crime is about the dumbest thing one can do. None of this makes any goddamn sense. Not only FAKE the…
