My guess? That attitude of not trusting other people, often for good reason, has likely kept those people safe for more than a year. It’s hard to let go of that at the drop of a hat because we’re not perfectly rational beings.

Yeah, that line really had me scratching my head because Walker is so clearly shown to be on the path to being a bad Captain America long before he kills the one Flagsmasher. His inability to listen to Sam and Bucky when they first meet is the indicator. Then his actions toward the Dora Milaje and his inability let…

Yes, Cole’s article basically ended desire to watch anything new and I’m now at the point of closing the door on him. I did verge on stan, which likely did impact my thoughts, but at this point I just can’t. He’s too much a part of his work that I can’t even go “but TV and movies are a collaborative effort and lots of…

I hope that the specificity of what she’s saying (the knock against Fisher) and the fact that she never had a personal relationship with him (the knock against Cole’s article) mean that people actually listen. I think that the rumblings that we’ve seen, like his exit from the HBO show, indicate that he might get held…

Exactly! I’m pretty sure that I knew about what she’s talking about in like 2004 or 2005, but as you said there was no paper trail, so it was all too easy to brush aside. And honestly before the Kai Cole article, I wonder how much it would’ve been believed or would it have been passed off as sour grapes.

The thing though is that what Carpenter is saying has pretty much been an open secret since it happened. We should’ve been listening then and not letting his “feminist credentials” sway us. And I 100% count myself as someone who should’ve done better then, as I heard it and dismissed it.

I love him in that movie. I think of his whole thing about being too nostalgic at least a dozen times every year. I’m also a fan of him in Metropolitan and Barcelona.

I’m also a Digger fan. He was someone who knew the world she’d been born into, but wasn’t a creepy douche. It also didn’t hurt that he was played by Chris Eigeman, who I adore. He may actually be my favorite of Lorelai’s boyfriends.

I think we are. It doesn’t start in earnest until after she decides to end her quest and her reaction to the the thing that ends them makes me think that she had genuinely believed that she found the one good guy.

And his best friend in the movie is Leo, another one of Veronica’s exes. That little detail made me laugh, even if Fennell didn’t mean it.

Oh most definitely. The idea that a constitutional lawyer is out there saying that something is a violation of their first amendment rights, when it 100% is not, is very WTF.

Well Hawley, who is a “constitutional lawyer” with a JD from Yale Law, is already claiming just that...

So if he goes to prison, what exactly does the Secret Service do? I’ve been wondering that ever since I saw someone mention it on Twitter.

It made me so angry. Also didn’t help that it was 2018 and so nazis were very much in the forefront of my mind.

It’s so “do you understand what you’ve done” and I guarantee that they’ll come up with something like Grindelwald is always doing whatever the spell is blocks her power (don’t remember and don’t feel like looking it up), while ignoring that she could read the mind of all of his supporters too.

Like magnitudes worse than the first one.

Not a Farrell fan, but absolutely the best move on their part.

And of course the problems with her won’t be so bad in the UK where inexplicably many on the left are TERF-y AF, so things haven’t been AS bad there.

She basically ends the second movie as part of Gridelwald’s inner circle. It has something to do with her being frustrated that she can’t marry Jacob because of the whole witches/wizards can’t marry non-magic people thing mentioned in the first movie. So she charms him/gives him a potion that makes Jacob think that…

Absolutely, this was no an aberration. You only needed to watch Fox News leaching into our culture, to say nothing Alex Jones.
