There’s supposedly been one in the works for ages, but . . . yeah. Oh, and . . .

Eh, you can’t go by that. Actors distort their appearance all the time for different roles. I will swear on a sacred tome of your choice to it being her.
Ha! Pretty sure it’s Dakota Fanning, but the resemblance is quite remarkable.
LOL, fair enough. I’m not. I just know that there are very few things that prompt that kind of murderous rage, so I felt compelled to qualify it that way. Probably better if I’d just not mentioned it, but whatever. I said it. I’ll own it. :-p
It is truly brilliant. Here’s the review I wrote for the film on my blog.
Look, I get threatened with real violence nearly every day. I won’t explain the context (before you ask, no, I’m not a registered sex offender...or any kind of sex offender), but suffice it to say, if not for police standing in their way, there are vigilantes who almost certainly would’ve killed me already. I’ve…
I never like starring things like this because it feels a bit like your starring the tragedy itself, so I will just say, my condolences to Mr. Kalanick in this dark time. So sorry for your loss, man. :(
It’s true. I wish they wouldn’t, but they often do.
Right, but I’m not doing that. I’m not justifying that behavior at all. But most cops don’t shoot unarmed black people, do they?
Here’s the situation: I got fucking attacked—-not just criticized but outright attacked—-for not backing off from my innocuous defense of police (that had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with race)…
Well, it’s all relative, sure. It’s more dangerous to be a soldier on the front line in a war than a cop too, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still fairly dangerous to be a cop. I wouldn’t do it. Not that they’d let me anyway as I’m missing my right hand. But yeah, it’s still more dangerous than most jobs.
I’ll agree with you on all of that. There needs to be more “extreme vetting” (to use the Great Trumpkin’s phrase) when it comes to police, as well as better psych evals, more racial sensitivity training, all of that. And any cop that abuses his power should be canned and put on a police registry where they can never…
No, you don’t get to define what makes a liberal. It’s called the No True Scotsman fallacy. Look it up. And yes, race is a very important issue, but to claim that it can’t be exploited to manipulate people is bullshit, plain and simple. Granted, I could’ve used a better term, but the point is relevant.
Well, you can say what you want, but you’re entirely wrong. And as it so happens, I AM poor. I live in a mobile home that’s falling apart because I can’t afford to fix it, I live hand-to-mouth, have no health insurance and I get EBT (food stamps) because I couldn’t survive otherwise. Is that fucking poor enough for…
Do me a solid and don’t make this about race, please. This is part of the problem. I’m as liberal and tolerant as they come (and I live in a small Southern town, so believe me, I’m a minority here too), but any time someone plays the race card just because the other guy doesn’t agree with you, you’re alienating people…
I’m glad to hear everyone is okay and the guy was arrested. It’s sad that cops have now become the enemy of so many misguided people in this country. Yes, there are bad ones, but most of them are decent guys and gals just trying to do their job, a dangerous job that not everyone could do. I certainly couldn’t.
Ah! Exactly a fascist apologist would say! ;) Sorry. Okay, they weren’t military ships exactly, but they were staffed with military personnel. My point still holds. It was all just too sterile and plastic to feel real.
I agree. She’s one of my favorite actresses.
I would add . . . Saoirse Ronan (sounds like a Star Wars princess), Ioan Gruffudd (it’s really the spelling here that’s Star Wars—his last name is actually pronounced like Griffith), Shia Labeouf (love him or hate him, that is a Star Wars-y name if ever there was one, though it sounds more like a female character than…
Awesome! Star Wars is the greatest movie of all time! :-)
