Fuck you Senator Collins, just like you fucked all the Democrats who supported you in 2016 believing you to be a nice moderate Republican who could stand up to Trump.

Things ain’t so great in the UK, with Brexit, Hungary, Turkey and even traditionally social democratic Scandinavia with the rise of the far right, never mind places like Syria and Russia...and I’m only thinking in political terms, forget the impact of global warming and natural disasters in places like Indonesia.

We, or more accurately you, have the chance to change things in the mid-terms and in two years time, but unfortunately, right now things look worse than they’ve ever been, certainly in my lifetime, which encompasses the Dubya and part of the Reagan administrations...

Fuck this!

I agree that women are manifestly overlooked and marginalised in Hollywood, but so are POC and members of the LGBTQ community. And if you belong to all three categories or even just two, God help you.

Things aren’t easy if you’re (a) a woman, (b) an immigrant and (c) grew up in an autocracy. I suspect she’s smarter than you’re giving her credit for. I’m also willing to bet she’s a lot smarter than any of the other Trumps.

So, now we’re hating on women for ‘prostituting themselves’? Really?

So, bagging on her for being an illegal immigrant and in a marriage of convenience in which Donald will deport her and her family if she ever leaves him, is perfectly okay?

Who could tell?

I was going to suggest Michael Keaton instead, but the age-difference would be way creepy.

Despite Hans’ plan to murder two dozen hostages, in addition to his pre-existing body count, which includes Tagaki and a couple of security guards, there is something oddly easy-to-root-for about his grand master plan. I think the fact that he’s basically an apolitical, albeit highly intelligent and cultured, thief as …

That’s a very fair point with respect to anti-Semitism.

Fine then. I’ll go along with what you’re saying: the straight and gay young men abused by Bryan Singer are clearly not at an advantage.

Rife is not explicitly or even, it appears, consciously saying that, but Singer is openly gay or at least bisexual, and my point is that surely as a member of the LGBTQ community, Singer cannot be attributed the same level of privilege as the average white man in Hollywood. And I say that as someone who absolutely loat…

Trump is pretty much a WASP. He is a wealthy ostensibly Protestant from North Western European stock, albeit Scottish and German rather than English, but in real terms that makes him far more a WASP than a woman who grew up in Communist Eastern Europe in a public apartment block.

In this situation, predominantly gay young men and boys have been the victims of sexual abuse, whilst their abuser, unlike other abusers, including Cosby and Weinstein, has seen his status and career flourish.

No, it doesn’t change my point.

Ah ha. This is a new narrative.

To be honest, I think this story should be about a sexual predator getting paid $10 million versus the litany of, mostly underage boy, victims he’s abused.

I hope American Animals is an accurate interpretation of the facts, at least as accurate as possible anyway, considering talking heads featuring the real people involved in the heist account for a significant portion of the running time.
