It can be all of the above. It’s art!

Did you miss the part where it was an early draft of the script? I don’t see any indication that Kushner expected the script to be produced unchanged. 

His playbook is largely reality show and professional wrestling drama. He’d completely advocate safe sex and needle exchange in exchange for a big beautiful wall. If the Democrats balk, it’s because they hate making our country safe and hate gay people. Theatrics, ratings and claiming nonsensical wins are all he cares…

Isn’t Ivanka his beard?

HRC is arguably the best-prepared Presidential candidate of at least the last half-century, maybe longer (George H. W. Bush being the other contender). My quibbles about certain neoliberal and other political positions of hers are easily outweighed by how much better our world would be if she were President today. (It…

Psst. Hey, everyone. It’s okay to like Rent. I know, I know, a lot of folks crap on nowadays. But, maybe like me, you grew up in the 90's and lived in the margins with the wierdos and outcasts. Or, maybe you were LGBTQ than and having something so mainstream celebrating your identity back than was thrilling. Maybe you…

You know what else can kill your baby?

And yet...the production company isn’t being blamed. The surviving Queen members, who held all the power in this film production, aren’t being blamed. The studio isn’t being blamed.

Why are people blaming an fairly unknown actor for taking a job, instead of the studio who hired and paid Singer? Let’s not pretend that Rami Malek had any industry power before this movie. His credits are a cult TV show that few people watch or have even heard of, and a small part in one of the Twilight movies. He’s…

This is their defense:

How the hell was Won’t You Be My Neighbor not nominated?

I went to a super restrictive religious elementary school, which I guess made us bored and weird in return. Anyway, it was probably 3rd or 4th grade, definitely old enough to know better, and I remember walking around the baseball diamond with my friends during recess chanting, “God made dirt so dirt don’t hurt.” We…

I ate soap. I was not a child.

I made the mistake of watching this at work. My hardened coworker: “what kinda porn does SHE [Dr. Lee] watch?”

I mean, it’s a sexual boundary. Maybe it means you’re not compatible if period sex is important to you but it seems pretty fucked up to be judgemental about it. People are allowed to have boundaries about what they’re okay with in bed.

As a scientist? I really have to hand it to you that you went on this deep-dive into this topic. This is pretty much what I’d have expected, if a journalist tried to find an answer to a controversial scientific question, and yet you didn’t try to streamline all this insanity or cut it down. You let it be long and…

Well you clearly didn’t read past the headline.

This was really interesting and not that bad?

I assume it’s the same vague, meaningless hopey changey book all presidential candidates write. It’s not like Obama’s Audacity of Hope lit the world on fire.
