Two men walked in on Parker raping the victim: Jean McGianni Celestin - his friend and collaborator on Birth of Nation - and Tamerlane Kangas. Parker invited both Celestin and Kangas to participate in the rape. Celestin joined in. Kangas observed that the victim was unconscious, said no and left the room. Kangas would…

one of the guys he waved in testified that she looked unconscious so he said no and didn’t participate. he didn’t try to stop it from happening (because bros before hoes, right? *vomit*), but he wouldn’t join in when nate invited him.

This is brutal and I love it.

“Must be nice to say “no” and have the person actually stop”

But Parker himself didn’t say stop so, by his own logic, not only should the journalist kept going, he should have invited two other journalists into the room to keep asking the same question.

I love how he characterizes the film as a group project as a 400 person effort. He wrote it, he directed it and he took the starring role. Some group project. Not sure if he's saying he's getting too much credit or whether the media should pursue some of the other 399 who might have bigger skeletons in their closets.

I feel like they are just trying to save their investment and grasping a straws.

What I miss most is the original coverage of the city and sometimes the nation that used to be the norm. There would be an interesting story that the writer would post and it would be peppered throughout with their humorous “take” on the story.

“Gender suspicious” is a glorious phrase.

I had to Google which character he (she?) was in Pulp Fiction.

Because studios keep forgetting some of the best parts of superheroes and comics is that they’re fun and sometimes funny. Studios seem to think that in order for superhero films to be taken seriously is to remove any and all fun, but part of the draw and what made people like them is the sense of adventure and fun.

Because it’s Fox. Fox doesn’t know how to do ambiance and context.

WHY WOULD YOU NOT INCLUDE THIS!? WHY!?!

No, it doesn’t sound like something she would do at all. She was following a story and it’s a damn good thing she did or yet another shameful act of the government against American Indians would be hidden.

Did she tear down the fence or did the protesters do it and she just followed them as a journalist?

Hillary Clinton meanwhile made a speech promising to really stick it to oil and gas companies.

What’s that? The justice system in a rural county dominated by extractive industry interests might be corrupt?
