I think the issue of the agency that banned Love is at the crux of how he was able to continue with his outrageous conduct, no?

I dunno. When Man on the Moon and the Larry Flynt movie were out a lot of critics showered major praise on her acting. I think there’s even an embarrassing quote from Roger Ebert that suggested the greatest legacy of grunge might turn out to be Love’s acting career.
Now, don’t be disgusting.
with the number of personal accounts of people warning other people about Weinstien coming out, it seems to me like it’s not the fault of anyone not saying anything about him, it’s that nobody listened or took them seriously.
That’s four. Five with Valkyrie. How many do you think we need?
This. “First gen Star Wars fan” = guaranteed to crap all over anything that wasnt released when they were 8 and then write 1000s of pages “proving” they’re right and everyone else is an idiot.
Well, this is a weird feeling. A Star Wars trailer that made me go “Eh, that looks okay I guess.” instead of grabbing the nearest tube-like object and swinging it around making voom-voom sounds like a fool.
There was a lot of dumb stuff in the old EU, but one idea I did like was that there was no “light” or “dark” sides to the Force, it just *was.* Using it selfishly and for evil purposes was of course bad, but so was cutting yourself off from emotions like love, like the Jedi Order of the prequels. You needed a…
The lightsaber effects look off somehow and the gorilla AT-ATs are dumb as hell. Sorry, guys, even as a first-gen Star Wars fan, I’m finding it hard to get excited. Knowing we’re getting stuck with Abrams again for the next one helps temper any enthusiasm, too. I will see it, sure, but TFA did nothing for me in the…
Rick was this year’s Deadpool. So many Ricks... *shudder*
It was picked up not because of anything he was wearing, but a bit more to do with how he climbed on a moving schoolbus and went batshit.
The level of not just stanning for this man, but outright worship is as unsurprising as it is sick.
It has been very interesting to see people’s reactions to his passing, to say the very least. I was over on another site and the adulation for his impact and legacy is.........disturbing. I mean. Are we going to act like he didn’t prey upon the insecurities of women? Or that by and large his version of the perfect…
Wait—if you didn’t watch her solo show, don’t you think you’re not getting the full picture of her character?
Really? That’s not the impression I get at all. I thought JJ was by far the best show, because it was grounded in some very intense real world issues- rape; PTSD; psychology; it handled all of these issues with nuance and care, and I thought had a very grounded realistic approach. She is the most realistic and natural…
The show should have been called Jessica Jones and the Defenders.
Also when Stick arrives for Royal Dragon exposition dump and name-drops The Chaste & JJ exasperates, “I’m done with all these names” (paraphrasing). Representing 100% of fans who want more punching / less convoluted mythology.
She’s so great.
You have to remember Jessica is the only person who’s not there because they’ve got some lofty idea of their purpose. It’s basically:
The line she delivered that I laughed at the most was actually this:
Woman answering door: “What time is it?”
Jessica: Late. Or early, depending on your life choices.
