... Zac Efron definitely looked like he was on steroids in that era. The thick neck, the water retention, the redness. He talked publicly about his insomnia and mood swings, which are common side effects of PED use. He acknowledged using Lasix, a diuretic used to combat water retention in people with high blood…

That’s true, but it also became messy because Scarlett Johansson’s character started advocating for what she wanted, which she had seemingly never done before in their relationship, and Driver’s character found it inconceivable that she might want different things to him. That was also a really relatable element to…

To add to what Tsume76 said below, the teenage survivors of the Uruguayan football team stranded in the Andes at one point burned extra precious firewood so they could stay up late reading comics. People are not rational machines, especially at that age.

Eh, I can’t say I particularly care myself, as someone from the island. The Irish are not discriminated against in this day and age, and we’ve exported plenty of oppression ourselves by siding with oppressors in the colonies, we can take the stereotyping.

If that time she wasn’t pressured into it, then yes, that would be OK. They’re not complaining about the existence of the magazine, but that their boss coerced them into being sexualized when they were young and he had a lot of power over them.

Their preferred term is sex worker. “Prostitute” is no longer used in those circles and generally considered pejorative. And sex work is not made immediately safe and legal because of smartphones, as I’m sure you would realise if you think about it for even a second (as a basic scenario, a client can rape you, and if…

Two separate actors have won statues for playing the Joker, why is a Marvel property inherently different, in your eyes?

I’m a bit confused as to why someone who is arguing in favour of the dignity of sex workers would keep throwing out “prostitute” like you are.

No Fierce Creatures? It might be a lesser Fish Called Wanda, but that means it’s still incredible.

... was Samuel D. Hunter an obese man? He says the story was based on his personal experiences with overeating, which is valid, but he’s only 41 and doesn’t seem to have been obese since at least 2010 (the earliest press photos of him I can find). He doesn’t seem to have ever been a long time shut-in or an estranged…

I also wonder if Brown and Glover hold some grudges that Harmon and the rest of production didn’t protect them more from Chevy Chase’s bullshit. The things he’s been quoted as saying on set were completely out of line, and someone should have stepped in earlier.

... This article also uses PETA as a source.

Christopher Masterson is also a Scientologist, and at the very least complicit in their brother’s crimes.

The character shifts are what I’m most excited for in this adaptation - Louis’ character makes perfect sense as someone who comes from a more complex background than the poor little rich boy of the original, and frankly that’s the same backstory Lestat has so I’m glad they’re mixing it up.

I’d say LotR was act three of his career.

This guy got six months:

This is very similar to what Kanye did for MBDTF years back. He rented out a recording studio in Hawaii 24 hours a day, and lived there, sleeping on the couch, and flew in dozens of collaborators, everyone from a then-unknown Nicki Minaj to Bon Iver. They would hang out for a bit, bring him whatever they were working…

LAX at least has a whole separate terminal if you pay membership fees.

1. She still has to go to the airport to get to her private jet, mingling briefly with normals, 2. First class has separate security and boarding, she would not be standing in line with any normals.
