Yes and no. Short films often have potential when turned in to a feature...but I’m kinda cynical with this one in that the radio clip seems intentional to serve as the elevator pitch.

Assholes Cretins in the police force who denigrate everything not male, wearing a badge, and having the ability to kill you for looking at them wrong?

I don’t think it’s news as much as catharsis.

They hit the jackpot on the WB slot machine once.  Now they are going to pull that lever till it falls off or they die.  I know which one I’m rooting for.

Literally nothing about Paramount+ appeals to me.

It’s not worth preserving at all, and this “meet partway” functionally feels like a reactionary response to somebody just asking to exist as another person in society.

Sure, next to a husband with a melted brain and two terrible rich children, a old racist white lady with a british accent could pass as pleasant with enough editing.

Then, in what was presumably an ill-conceived attempt to defend herself, Osbourne gave an interview to The Daily Mail ...

If your hangup is purely on the fact his name changed, at best that’s an incredibly anal hangup that you need to figure out yourself.

With his recent additions, including the “I don’t see why you’re so upset” canard, I’m thinking this is yet another instance of a dude JAQing off on the Internet.

Yeah, say what you will about the pitfalls of modern “woke culture,” but I for one am happy to live in a world where this kind of bigoted argument, which was once depressingly common (people used to call Ellen DeGeneres, one of the normiest women in showbiz, “Ellen Degenerate,” for Chrissakes!), has fallen so…

That said, you aren’t required to bend the truth, unless you are trying to insinuate that your perspective on a person’s identity, a perspective that said person felt uncomfortable over and hid, is more important in framing a person’s history than how that person wants you to frame them.

I don't love Juno or Diablo Cody but eat shit. They're both miles more interesting than this trash response.

The idea that -or/-ress words as being male and female terms is pretty common, but given the general meaning of the -or/-er suffix is “one who does” it would be better to think of it as a neuter/female dichotomy. Like ‘janitor’ or ‘observer’, the word itself is not meant to identify a gender, and the fact that we have…

Looking up “deadname.” This is really enlightening! Double thank you.

Good for him. I had a fellow friend make a similar transition at the same time, ditching female identity to nonbinary. They bore such a resemblance to Page that I used to call them "Juno" wherever they got snarky. Elliot Page's public transition was a key reason why my friend felt similarly comfortable in shedding…

True, but typically that part doesn’t change when you transition; they’re two separate things. I just like the term “queer” anyway; it’s more encompassing. But everyone has their preferences.

As I said, if done right, The Twelve could be interesting and worth a watch and season. I think it would be worse if they closed out the series without ever showing and explaining who they are beyond mysterious, boring, bogeyman, because what’s the point then?

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of “take some things that don’t go together and make something appetizing from it” genre of cooking shows. I really liked the Claire Saffitz show, since that was more my style - try to make something as good as possible with few limitations, even going so far as doing multiple iterations to…

Bummed me out, too, since I was just getting into it. I tried to give the Sohla-Babish thing a try, but I hated the concept. Actually, I saw that show right around the time Babish started doing a ton of product pitches and crossover stuff with other youtubers, so I quit watching him altogether.  I lumped her in with…
