Me too! It’s nice to see people not act like it’s the Rapture or anything, and try to inject some levity into the races.

I enjoyed that probably more than I should have.

Latuda always sounded like a fancy fart to me. Like maybe one Heather Dabrow would let fly.

Yeah but what else is there in a post-apocalyptic world? It’s always good vs. evil. 

Okay, but the fact that you don’t like her schtick and don’t want to be her friend is germane to any discussion of whether she is a good choice to play Zelda Fitzgerald.

Considering that Deadpool is a superhero movie I have actually seen films like that countless times. True, Deadpool is a bit of a different take on the genre, but it is still similar to the Kickass movies in that respect.

“[I] want movies with new and interesting storylines rather than the same ol’ tragic white woman story.”

True, everyone is entitled to their opinion, just as everyone is entitled to their opinion about other people’s opinions.

Every type of movie has been done a million times over. It’s not like this film is being made to the exclusion of other projects.

Irrational, overwrought, and arbitrary are not necessarily gendered terms, although ‘irrational’ can be depending on context. Also, I have no idea if the OP is a woman or a man. And asking for a citation is peculiar when I presented nothing as fact.

Fair enough, but IMO making a movie about someone isn’t hyper-commercialization, it’s just a movie.

So, they put her on speaker and made a video of the conversation. They intentionally mumbled the word “consensual” in a blatant attempt to trick her into saying something exculpatory. Bros over hos, AMIRITE?

So the solution is to not make any more movies about “white woman who is a socialite with a tragic ending”?

I don’t get guys who know their roomate has violently raped someone (and heard rumours it’s multiple women) and thinks “well what about his future?”

But the logic here is sound!

I think Jennifer Lawrence’s performance as Zelda Fitzgerald will be remarkable. She is one of the very best actresses of her generation.

Let me guess, for no reason aside from your irrational, overwrought, arbitrary dislike of Jennifer Lawrence.

“What he did, obviously from what you explained, is terrible,” the fraternity member told her, “but I do want you to think about what the consequences [are] with him and his future. …”

The Duke LaCrosse rape scandal has since proven to be a hoax. Welcome to 2007.
