Brett going for the Seymour Skinner defense, I guess

ICE regulation and contracts are enforced largely on a local level. It’s true that the NY State Senate cannot “abolish” ICE as a department, but it’s obviously supposed to be signal of how Salazar would vote on issues connected to it, like direct cooperation with ICE. And if ICE is indeed ever shut down it will likely…

I’m quoting from Mia’s own statements, at the time, to the press about her reasons. There almost certainly wouldn’t have been jurisdiction to force her to testify to begin with. It was a choice she made.

Again, bringing up stuff about Woody Allen is irrelevant because it has nothing to do with the question of whether…

Some cities are canceling contracts with ICE. I’ve been going to freeholder meetings in Jersey trying to get my city to do that. Trust me, their stance on it does matter. ICE will get taken down after rising pressure from local municipalities.

Even if you don’t like or trust her, her opponent is SO much worse. He lies about actual material things, like not disclosing the many donations he gets from real estate companies. His record has been awful for the people of Brooklyn. I’m not saying I agree with the media characterization of Salazar, but even if I…

She specifically chose to testify for him and issued statements to the effect that she was helping her “great friend.” You’re really bending over backwards to defend her on this and I really have no idea why. Again, it’s perfectly acceptable to think Woody Allen is a creep and also think Mia Farrow is a hypocrite. Two…

I think Woody Allen is a creep and I don’t like him as a person so I’m not sure exactly what your point is in bringing him up. Farrow being hypocritical (and abusive towards her children, according to some allegations) doesn’t actually preclude Allen from being a pervert or sex criminal. It is possible to not like…

If I was well into my 20s I wouldn’t even dream of fucking a girl who was still in high school. Come on. If it’s an 18 year old and a 17 year old that’s a bit different (I wasn’t exactly a casanova in high school - I’m doing fine now - so I cannot speak from personal experience, but certainly I can recognize an…

Farrow has gone out of her way to defend Polanski more than most, calling him a “close friend” and even testifying on his behalf in his libel suit against Vanity Fair (in 2005, well after anyone had any excuse for defending him). I’m not exactly gonna defend any of the actors who chose to work with him after the 70s,…

Man, there’s a lot wrong with this, but let’s just start with the fact that you’ve been banging her since she was 17? Come on, my guy.

Patton’s reply is good, but I’d like to posit that Jake Flores had the best response. 

I noticed this for years and years. IIRC, one of the other flashback episodes also screws up by putting the whole family portrait in the background. 

That film actually causes headaches for the Simpsons staff at the time. They were legally barred from using the McBain name for a little while, hence giving Ranier Wolfcastle an actual name so they could still use the character otherwise. 

In addition to what others have said, Zemeckis has stated before that he was trying to have it put in his will/estate that BTTF could in fact never be remade (though I assume that would still be null once the copyright expired). I don’t think he’s ever said since whether that actually happened, but they do seem pretty…

This all assumes these are the only accusations against him. I’ve heard others, including this one:

I happened to retweet a tweet that lightly locked him for comparing Bernie Sanders supporters to the alt-right or some shit, and afterwards I noticed he had blocked me. The tweet didn’t tag him and I hadn’t interacted with him directly, so he must have systematically blocked every single one of the hundreds (at least)…

Honestly, I had to look it up as I think that story just went by me entirely. Which, I think, speaks to the fact that, again, ER just hasn’t been a super popular show in some time so while obviously it did make some headlines, they were dwarfed by headlines around that time surrounding other famous figures who are a…

I think you may be thinking of The West Wing. ER really just hasn’t had any cultural cachet in some time. 

In general I’m all for believing most of the #MeToo accusations but yeah this is a complicated one for me. And I’m not a big Allen fan or anything, but since Moses alleged that Mia was actually the abusive one and their accounts are basically mutually exclusive we’re sort of in a place where we have to disbelieve one…

Hot take though: he was right.
