The first paragraph is the perfect encapsulation of Barsanti as a writer. In one paragraph, we veer wildly between:

You both sound exhausting.

“ but if you’re one of these internet people who bases their entire personality on thinking that the MCU is Bad, then we hope you’re happy.”

“..but if you’re one of these internet people who bases their entire personality on why the MCU is Bad, we hope you’re happy”

I don’t understand why so many seem to view Howard as a dick.

I think the word “book” answers your question

(1) you can’t “groom” somebody who is over 18.  You can be a creepazoid, but you can’t GROOM someone who is an adult.
(2) why were these twins in a hot tub with him?
(3) why is there no byline on this article?

“Your office trampled on the constitutional rights of the Hutchins,”

Another fucking bad take from Hughes, add it to the mountain pile.

Expertly presented this story in the clickbait-iest way possible. I’m almost impressed.

When a disabled person is hired, accomodations are made. When your non-disabled actor shows up and tells everyone “I’m going to pretend to be disabled even when I don’t have to and you all have to deal with it”, that actor is just an asshole.

When you hear about Day-Lewis’ quirky methods, you might be going like “what a weirdo!” but then you see one of his movies and it’s like “oh shit, I get it”.

Nope. I’m sure she wasn’t the first but Jodie Foster won two awards. It’s a weird smug self-fart-sniffing thing that news media does— it thinks because a person hasn’t sat down with them and make some big pronouncement that they aren’t open and out. Jodie Foster has never been IN.

Nah.

Pretty deceptive frames, the 2008 “Coppola Restoration” did NOT give you milky grey frames with the brightness super boosted. Go back and look at the frame grabs in 2008 reviews, they sure as hell didn’t look like this. That shot of Brando in the study? Give me a break. Someone is purposely trying to make the transfer…

Remember when the AVClub bought this ridiculous story hook line and sinker?   Then they got all mad at Chappelle because he showed how stupid they were?  Remember that?  

“It also makes very little sense as to why there wasn’t a proper in-person premiere planned in the first place, if that’s what David wanted from the get-go.”

Theron’s description of the events paired with her apology (because of course she’s apologizing) sets you up for typical “actors being fussy dickheads with each other” nonsense, but it really does seem like Tom Hardy was a completely inconsiderate asshole who revelled in disrespecting the cast and crew by wasting…

Someone who knows how the Twitter machine works should start a campaign so the ultimate winner ends up being something that should have won Best Picture but didn’t.   “And the fan-favorite award goes to.....uhhhhh....Do the Right Thing?   How did that happen?”
