I definitely get it. But...maybe don’t say that publicly? Riverdale was definitely very good for Skeet’s career. Feels a bit uncharitable to put a negative spin like that on your departure. Just say “I’ve loved my time on Riverdale but I want to explore new projects”.

I really loved Togetherness, and it was appointment viewing for me for its two seasons. But that show had the dumbest finale I have ever seen. They are going to open a charter school where kids decide what they want to do every day and the adults just run behind them encouraging them? Not only does that sound…

Detroit Rock City - underrated if you ask this guy. There, I said it.

I sincerely think Melanie Lynskey is the best actor alive, so it was cool to read this. Hello I Must be Going was really fantastic. They didn’t need a budget, they had her.

You should read a few of the articles about the contradictions - that’s not exactly how it happened. It’s super confusing unless you really dive into it, but what she appeared to tell people back in 1993 was that she was experiencing sexual harassment, but didn’t even specify that it was Biden. Also, Biden would have…

I basically agree with you. You have to do some mental gymnastics in order to take the position that someone’s historical propensity for truthfulness is not probative of their credibility. 

Thumbs up for the reference to The Prisoner and for going masked in this time of crisis. That’s the kind of leadership we all need to see.

“Don’t vote Tory!”

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I don’t think people realize how truly stacked the system is against the criminally accused. We just see people like Weinstein and Bill Cosby on TV who can afford to throws gobs at money at a defense and don’t realize they’re the exception not the rule. I can’t count the number…

Yeah, you would never think the Scottsboro Boys or Emmett Till. I worked in a law library for all of my career and PD lawyers went through a lot to make sure poor, disadvantaged defendants got a fair shake.  EVERYONE deserves a good and vigorous defense. That’s how our system works. Women who make ONE particular kind…

Oh wow, that’s just disgusting. I feel like the old axiom of preferring 100 guilty people go free rather than incarcerating a single innocent person has gone by the wayside. What bothers me the most is that this carceral feminist approach to sex assault and domestic violence allegations mimics the tough on crime…

Thanks for this interview. Lynskey is my favourite working actor and I never felt she got much recognition, but I’m very happy to learn that she’s so sought-after.

According to this website, you should only be defending non-violent drug offenders. Don’t forget the article saying Aunt Becky’s lawyers are a pox on society for filing a motion to dismiss on behalf of their client and going to trial rather than just pleading guilty.

Honestly, the thing I found most interesting about the Politico article was not that information about her bankruptcy and landlords but that her own retelling of her role at Joe Biden’s office seemed to be inflating with each person she told the tale to:

Wait, what? How are her landlords irrelevant? They paint a picture of a woman who was bullshitting her way through not paying rent, when she wasn’t busy using them for therapy and destroying their property. Yes, Politico provided space about the damaged floors. As they should. This is what she thought of other…

Maybe.

Are you fucking kidding me? Please take another shot at smearing criminal defense attorneys who represent people accused of sex assault when you know absolutely nothing about the law. If you bothered to do the bare minimum of your job, you would know that defense attorneys cannot just bring up evidence of how the…

Are we allowed to not believe people?  Asking for a friend.

Agreed. Good, but not his best. This was always going to be a hard follow-up to Annihilation, which managed to make me cry and laugh within the same breath.
