Luke’s had a year of training with two of the top Jedi Masters, those that trained Vader.

She’s named in the article- no one would know her name without being attached to a famous person a generation ago you disingenuous twit. 

My takes are too spicy

Hell, Nixon gave us the EPA!

Well, I always thought Kareem was the greatest, but my Dad says he doesn’t work hard enough on defense.

Ah, if only Tarantino had been fairer to notoriously good person Squeaky Fromme! How dare he use his film to malign her legacy! 

I think that, in itself, is sort of the point. She doesn’t really need to be a “deep” or “complex” character. She was a real person, and Tarantino doesn’t pretend to know her. He just lets her be.

That’s the entire point: Sharon Tate was a happy human being bearing a child with a bright future ahead of her, and then four assholes mutilated her and made her into a historical footnote about maniacal horror in suburban America. It’s actually pretty rare for a Hollywood film to memorialize someone who has famously…

Most characters in most movies are “only there to prop up someone else’s stories,” that’s why they’re called supporting characters.  Occasionally some of them are people of color, and in Tarantino movies they’re frequently historical figures.  There’s nothing inherently wrong with that.

And it’s tiring.

You are an extremely unintelligent person. 

1. That movie was on TCM the other night! I had never seen it before and when that scene came on ( one of two that Bruce was in) I could not believe what I’d seen. A totally WTF moment.

Not really a masculinity thing. It’s more like saying you’re the loser of the family. Nobody wants to hear that, man or woman.

So in one fell swoop, Neera Tanden defended Chris Cuomo’s comparison of being called “Fredo”—a character from the Godfather—to the n-word,

As an Italian American, Fredo is not a slur. There are actual slurs for Italians, and they come nowhere near close to the n-word or any other slur. 

Note to the guards: Suicide watch does not mean, “watch someone commit suicide.”

Is it a dream sequence? I read it as a flashback to something that had happened on a previous set.

Sheriff Sam Barsanti is here, the woke avenger! Helicoptering in to set wrongs to right. Any personal career advantages that come from playing the Wokest White Man are purely coincidental.

Honestly this movie had such a chill and easy going pace that it drew me in and kind of flew by for me. I would gladly watch a well done 4-hour cut, for nothing else but to watch Pitt and DiCaprio hang out in LA.

I mean, I didn’t love the film, but removing the Sharon Tate scenes would kinda destroy the whole thematic crux of the movie and the weight of the ending imo. It’s definitely a ballsy choice to present Tate as this kind of unknowable figure who almost never speaks and exists more as a symbol of old Hollywood glamor…
