“The framing of Hannibal Lector in his childlike sophistication against Buffalo Bill’s social “decay” shows just how the conservative reframing has existed for a long time.”

Yes!  I loved this point.

You’re saying the concept of “other people” is infesting everything.

That is a fair and succinct point. 

Nice write up, I particularly appreciate the history, including of the sadly predictable actions of the medical community. I personally find it easy to take a “two things” tact in watching Silence. That ease is a mark of my own privilege and it’s completely understandable someone whose life has been negatively…

This could have been your first comment

Please tell me when that was - or was that when only one identity really 'mattered'?

Some of you need to realize that sometimes you can just shut up and respect someone’s opinion, especially if they are much closer to the experience. I might have quibbles with this and I might love Silence to death, but maybe respect a trans person’s views on trans issues and just shut up.

Yes, Bad or Troubled Blood I think it’s called? Something pretty generic. Full disclosure, I haven’t read it and have no plans to (Hell, I somehow never even read any Harry Potter—though in that case it was more because they became a thing just when I was at an inbetween teenage stage where I wouldn’t be caught dead…

generational warfare is dumb as fuck.

I think that’s bit rough. It’s an opinion piece by someone who’s life was directly and negatively affected by this film.

Your blatant trolling aside, I hope she does get something noteworthy to be considered for that. Her character was one of the least noteworthy in her OWN GODDAMN FILM, and her only noteworthy moment in Endgame was headbutting the gilded raisin antagonist. I have faith that Brie Larson as Danvers could be interesting.

You call that speculation? You are like little baby. Watch this:

A hearty fuck you to all the men who downplayed this when AOC detailed her experience. The videos are all round terrifying. But, the sing song threat to Nancy Pelosi highlighted how men use gendered violence to specifically menace women. “Hang Mike Pence” is chilling. But the death threat is directed at him for doing…

Fuck Dr. Phil

Sure, no criticism aimed at Pascal from me for being willing to educate Carano and have patience with her. If anything, I’m in awe. I just don’t have it in me, personally. Whatever you want to call it - patience, maturity, empathy - I don’t have enough of it anymore. 

I wish. He’s posted some stuff in solidarity of Carano after Carano got in hot water for her craziness (that was after Pascal publicly checked Carano for mocking the importance of pronoun choice).

I’m Canadian too. I remember that amazing TeleToon block in 2002. Undergrads and Clone High every damn night with my roommates, all summer.

I’m not Mindy’s biggest fan, but given the right role, she works. This does not seem like one of those things.

Clone High, which only lasted for one season on MTV between 2002 and 2003
