Like, right? Shut up, Susan.  Go smoke another joint and stop bothering the rest of us.

That’s what I said.

I used to be sad they broke up. Now I’m just so happy that Tim finally got out of there.

In fact, Sarandon probably stands to gain a great deal financially from Trump’s presidency.

I mean, that was stupid and all, but she didn’t contribute to the rapid erosions of civil rights in America, the next major economic crash, the (possible) start of any wars, or an environmental catastrophe of unimaginable scale.

Mood disorders aren’t synonymous with what you’re describing. That’s just called being a jerk. And yes, she’s probably a jerk about politics.

She needs to go back to playing ping pong and hanging out with younger men. She was my idol then. Now? She can go hang out with other old ladies drinking Chardonnay at noon and complaining about shit.

Debra MEssing isn’t well informed?

To clarify my position, if you are a rich and famous person who will go on living unaffected by the outcome of an election, you are certainly entitled to still have an opinion on it, but no one fucking cares. Keep it to yourself.

It’s so weird that Tim Robbins came out of that relationship looking like the more rational of the two. Tim Mother Fucking Robbins.

she has a new film coming out soon that looks visually interesting. I’ve read a bit about it but haven’t been able to find a trailer in English, so I can’t be sure exactly what it’s about:)

I fell in love with Karl Penn in the Namesake.

Love Namesake!

I’m still going to see this movie. Part of that is my love for Amma Asante’s work; I trust her as a director. Part of it is my interest as a biracial woman in the experiences of other half-Black people from around the world (particularly, in this case, the so-called “Rhineland bastards”). It won’t be perfect, but I…

True story; my half-black, half white grandmother was born and raised in L.A. and lived there during WWII. Because the neighborhoods were super-segregated and her white father was married to her black mother, they lived in a segregated neighborhood with some Japanese families (along with some Latino and…

I would also recommend Europa Europa, which is based on the true story of a Jewish boy who had to join the Hitler Youth in disguise to survive.

As the son of an officer, his membership in the Hitler Youth would have been mandatory. It does not make him a Nazi. Some Germans actively tried to fight what was going on in their country. A lot of them were executed. A lot of their families disappeared. Broad painting every German as a ruthless killer of Jewish…

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, when you put it the way you have, it’s strange to focus on a love story while there are thousands of people being murdered or enslaved. On the other hand, and as awful as it might be, people still fell in love during the darkest periods of humanity. I’m not sure I…

You toss out a lot of charges here. Where’s your evidence for them? I don’t really see how making insinuations about her aims does any good for anyone.

I seriously doubt that this film, which took years to write and produce, was trying to capitalize on a fascistic moment that has only been solidified in the international discourse over the last year. It’s unfortunate to be sure. It’s not a film I’m planning on seeing. But I trust that Amma Asante’s intentions were to…
