I have no doubt she had a meager upbringing. By her own account, it was a story of deprivation with no phone, water, or electricity in the abandoned gas station her family lived in. The problem is that it is HER story. Her mother and step-father have filed documents in court showing they paid the phone, water, and…

I remember thinking she seemed cool back in 2012 when she got elected to the House and then was confused when everyone was so down on her running for Senate, before learning that she basically walked back every previous stance she once held.

This is a great point.

Considering she was anything but ruling class before taking office. She literally used her not being part of it to get elected and then quickly abandoned it those ideals as soon as she plopped her ass in the seat (which is more than likely sporting at least a couple of Big Pharmas names on each cheek because…..well…

It’s very important that when we protest the actions of the wealthy elite ruling class that we do it in a way in which they always feel safe, secure, and comfy. Can’t have them shaken up or slightly inconvenienced in any way, that would be gauche.

Conveniently leaving out the “yell” part that is directly attributable to her huh? The actor knows the ad lib is not in the script. Denzel knows the ad lib is not in the script and clearly caught on that the “ad lib” was really her directing the actor to make a different choice from his soft spoken approach. They are…

Did you read the actual story? She admits being irritated and yelled the ad lib at the actor. DW recognizes it as a directorial order. Maybe he thought it wasn’t as seamless as she intended it. Perhaps it stood out as clunky direction or he liked what the other actor was doing and he didn’t think it needed correcting…

Part of the backlash is her choosing to share this story the way she has, with such confidence thinking she comes out like a badass standing up for herself. 

It’s fairly common for White women married to Black men to feel overly comfortable disrespecting other Black folk, especially when they’re convinced that this marriage is “proof” that they’re not racist. (And if said Black husbands/boyfriends are themselves antiBlack, they’re not going to call out bad behavior because…

Yes, this has the stink of Patti LuPone. You may have been wronged, but you're being a huge bitch. 

On the one hand, Ellen Pompeo fought tooth and nail to be paid equitably and considered an anchor on the show when the network tried to say it was all Patrick Dempsey.

I call bullshit on that part. Ms Pompeo may be taking artistic liberties with her version of the story. 

I can’t imagine who in Hollywood has the gravitas to “listen motherfucker” Denzel. Wow.

I think she thinks she’s telling a GirlBoss(TM) standing her ground story. Meanwhile, she just comes across as unprofessional? Disagreements happen on set and people have artistic differences. Whatever. But nothing she describes in the exchange from Denzel sounds “ham” or “nuts”. She is the one who resorted to name…

The real moral of the story here is that yelling at your director works out sometimes if you do it with conviction and fearlessness in your heart and also if you’re white.

I can understand people who say they prefer a fatty piece of meat if that meat is well marbled. That sort of cut will be easy to chew because the fat is dispersed throughout. But I don’t get people who like big chunks of fat running through their meat. That kind of fat is hard to chew and has a horrible texture, and…

I haven’t seen Cats, but it sounds like it’s bad on the same scale as Dune (Lynch version; the Villeneuve version literally remains to be seen and judged) and Tommy, the two worst movies I have seen in my life. There’s mediocre bad and then there is epically bad; so bad that the movie becomes iconic.

The comparison to Cats is deeply unfair as the screening I saw in NYC a few days after Christmas in 2019 was of the most joyfully deranged interactive movie going experiences of my life. It probably helped that the audience was packed with drunk gays and gals having the times of their lives experiencing the…

Defends on your definition of abuse. She actively assisted her husband in threatening and bullying his victim. 

Just gonna leave this here to confirm the legitimacy of her statements. Now whose laughing, huh!
