He didn’t pick Muse because of their relative music quality- he picked Muse because he’s threatened by their artistic and commercial success*.

I watched Gremlins last night- I had forgotten about 10 y/o Corey Feldman hanging out and reading comics in adult Billy’s attic bedroom while he changes.

I have a list like that as well.

How could you, even-more-evil-Louie-Anderson?

Serpico had to join the force before he could be Serpico.

Reading Crowe’s speech, I thought he was trying to tell an anecdote that illustrated, in his mind, what consent and respect for women look like in the context of Theatre and creating representations of behavior toward women which is not consensual. Contrast his description of RS’s filming with descriptions of 9 & 1/2…

As another IHH fan, I’ve decided that this is a booster shot about life being nothing but cruelty, manipulation, and meaninglessness.

It’s...it’s beautiful.

Now I haz a Sad too.

I suppose I should have clarified that the private e-mail gambit is for documenting things like sexual harassment claims and retaliation, as opposed to the “confidential, propietary” information you baselessly assumed. (Or your could have asked, given that you admitted you don’t understand at the beginning of your…

Every day I wake up, go on the internet, read about people who are suffering, and THEN MAKE IT ALL ABOUT ME.
