It reminds me of when Pierson was saying that Obama founded ISIS, and the anchor is just sitting there, desperately trying not to smile. When he asks her the question again, she kind of blanks for a moment, knowing that she’s said something wrong, but not knowing what it is.

The best part is when all these idiots try to glue together the shattered remnants of their political careers, these clips will be played again and again and again and again.

I honestly don’t know what I believe. I mean, you’re right, we’re never told outright that’s what happening while she is screaming her lungs out. On the other hand, I don’t want them to get more graphic to prove it to us.

I actually like Kit Harington and Joooon Snuuuuuh, so I was going to say hard pass on watching him be hanged, drawn and quartered on screen.

Yeah. I think they feel it’s ok when it’s women, because they’ve become desensitized to the whole thing (which is what I hope the show is trying to say about the humans).

Exactly. By which I mean, of course not, heh.

Yes. Exactly. Like we needed the fact that the Gunslinger is a rapist to convince us that he’s evil - because we liked him before! What.

I was just coming here to say that it sounds like the comments I leave on students’ yearbooks (am a teacher), so you’re 100% right. I would feel sorry for her but then I remember she’s richer than all of us jezzies combined, so no.

Girls, especially girls who play soccer, can get down in the dirt, too. They’re rough and tumble gals who don’t mind a little blood now and then.

Oh, absolutely. Haha, women don’t matter.

I’m well aware of what it was intended to be about. What I’m saying is that because of who the creators are, and how they decided to shape historical events, everything the film was meant to do is now tainted by association.

In a way, it is about sexual violence - Parker and his buddy’s obsession with it. They are rapists, and even conned a rape survivor to shill their movie for them. Wow.

My theory about it (formulated after watching Prometheus and my disappointment allowed me to reach for my keyboard) is the following:

I looked up the show (ok, fine, on Wikipedia. It’s useful, ok? I’m not gonna put it on a title card - I’d use a fancy quote from Sartre or something, if he gave a shit about birthdays . . . wait, where was I going with this?) and as soon as I saw the summary of Kate’s character:

They’d better have changed it!

I just read it too. My face is now frozen like this: D:

Also, given a choice which love scene to show us, we were given Dr. Brosephus and Dr. Belief trumps Science instead of Idris Elba and Charlize Theron.

Maybe Jonah Hill is a humorless asshole who gets away with using homophobic slurs because he goes on tv and cries about how much he loves the gays, some of his best friends are gay, repeat to fade.

I know that maybe she was the original drama queen, lol. But when I come to that bit when she reads ‘his last letter’, I break down into ugly crying.

The worst thing was when they made Robert Dudley part of the conspiracy against her, when he was the fricking love of her life. When he died (and he was still one of her closest advisors), and this is a true historical fact, she locked herself in her rooms with his last letter, and they had to take the door off its…
