This. Vinny and Pauly D were the best for this exact reason. I’d watch a show just with the two of them (JWOWW can come visit, ‘cuz I loved her too).

Nicole was always the more talented, intelligent, gorgeous one between the two. Not a contest.

IIRC wasn’t Vinny the smart one, with a degree from SUNY Purchase and plans to go to law school? I mean, this isn’t Snooki or Situation we’re talking about here.

“These are jokes” is such a lazy excuse. Dave doesn’t need to be the leader of the resistance but you have to grow with the world. If your job relies on making commentary on the world today then you better do your homework and make smart commentary. No one is forcing him to do it. Do a good job or let other people…

I didn’t see anyone up in arms when he spent like 20 minutes ragging HARD on OJ Simpson.

I think the issue is less...they did this thing back then. And more...why don’t they admit they were wrong when they’re called on it now?

I have been wondering what it is going to take to get a substantial number of us to truly stand up to white supremacy and I have come to the conclusion that too many of us have too much to loose.

This is the definition of “whatabout-ism,” as it deflects the conversation without adding anything substantive. Have you ever criticized a movie although you don’t make movies? Or perhaps you are a make-up artist, whose never even been in an editing-room, yet you know enough to say that the editing of the documentary…

Apologies for being so late with a reply to this but...

Your username is chosen well. :) Jessica Chastain is “activist” compared to her peers because she speaks out, but her peers do next to nothing, and “speaking out” against one’s overlords becomes somewhat meaningless if one stays under their control by choice.

Give me a break. Jezebel gets off on demanding men in Hollywood, regardless of their power and position, risk their jobs, their reputations, their livelihoods, to speak out against their far more powerful male bosses in support of women. It doesn’t matter if they are in any way connected to those women outside of…

I think that her response is weak and not the best

Serious question: when did American progressives decide that doing good HAD to be easy, effortless even? The Civil Rights movement, unionizing, getting women the right to vote, ending slavery, people literally gave their lives to make those things happen and now movie stars, some of the most privileged persons in the…

I’m just going to say it; Breakfast at Tiffany’s is not that good and Holly Golightly is a horrible character. In my opinion, of course.

I’m not sure that a woman who expects to meet with a man and have her professional qualifications recognized and her bodily autonomy respected is expecting to be coddled. Men stroll through life taking this expectation for granted an no one calls them coddled.

Rape and sexual assault should be seen as the disgusting, overpowering invasions they are, not as a consequence of a woman’s bad choices. The problem is that our bodies are comodified and so if we get assaulted, it is seen as the same as if we just left our purse on the bar when we went to the bathroom and someone…

Of course not, nor is anyone requiring you to read my views about filmmaking trends.

Yeah, this is a hill I’ll die on each and every time, though Jezebel readers tend to snark hard on bad grammar and punctuation: looking down on someone for poor written or verbal communication is classist and ableist and unkind. Good communication skills are not a solid indicator of intelligence or worth. Come at me,…

This stunned me. I have worked in literacy programs with kind, wonderful, strong (and very shamed) adults. They simply have a hard time reading (for myriad reasons), and some of the compensations they have developed are beyond genius.
