It would be nice if we could have a moment to talk and think about how damn hard it is for us to have cross-generational conversations about this. Older ladies, we know some shit. It’s not like we haven’t been trying. It’s not like we don’t represent a lifetime of experimenting and witnessing. That maybe, just maybe,…

even though Chicago is in the Midwest, it’s not “Midwest.”

These awards are voted on by the sort of people who would’ve gladly voted for Obama a third time. They’ll give Get Out some grudging recognition because it was highly profitable and loved by critics, but they’ll never grasp what made it great.

Herpes is manageable, unlike Roiphe.

And if something happened, they didn’t and wouldn’t have even thought about saying anything, because society wouldn’t have cared if it did.

“Not knowing” is the definition of ignorant. Feeling the need to chastise me for my tone, at the same time they acknowledged I provided them with a helpful link, is the sort of obnoxious shit I’m tired of. Why should I put more energy into softening my tone than that poster did into researching the fucking question?…

I think what they do behind the scenes, far away from the media, is far more important than what they perform for us on camera. And I think it’s a big mistake to assume that the guys who aren’t putting their energy into perfecting the PR balance are hostile to change or unwilling to do the work behind the scenes. Are…

Look, it’s me outlining the case against Kevin Spacey three weeks before Anthony Rapp opened the floodgates. My head isn’t stuck in the sand. I didn’t need 20 years and NYT reporting to figure out that Harvey Weinstein is a sexual predator and that all the talk about “Harvey’s Girls” was aiding and abetting his…

I don’t know what specific arguments about standing are being made in this case, and I certainly wasn’t siding with the proponents of hate laws. Just pointing out that standing is kind of a big deal and there’s been a lot written about it. It was one of Scalia’s favorite tools for bashing liberal court challenges in…

That’s merely an incidental effect. The reply is intended more as: lol, fuck you if you think you can shame me into being even more gentle with you when you’re in loudmouth ignoramus mode.

Pretty sure I put more effort into minimizing my patronizing attitude than you did into checking your ignorant certitude.

Enty is in the business of entertaining people like you, not revealing truths. That’s what the disclaimer means. Plenty of sites publish blind items without the broad “lol, I’m just making half of this shit up!” qualifier that Enty offers.

I guess I don’t get why someone has to be hurt by a law before the court will have any hearings on fixing it.

The trend of an increasingly large portion of money being directed towards the top 1% has held true for working actors as well. Peter Coyote wrote an open letter about this almost 10 years ago. I completely agree with you that the folks at the top should take a cut in order to spread the wealth among their co-workers.…

Also, morons. I’d say it’s the blind men and an elephant commentariat, but that’d be too harsh on the blind men.

She was soooo good on V.

I snorted:

There there {pulls thetallblonde in for a hug while staring into the distance, contemplating the tyrannical whimsy of men}

Duuuude, Greg Wise is so much more suitable. HBC simply helped liberate Emma from a youthful mistake.

I’m going with the more optimistic but still deeply cynical take that Rayya’s terminal diagnosis allowed Gilbert to be more loving and generous than she had been before because she knew she only had to sustain it for a relatively short period of time. And that no matter what Gilbert does with this experience, at least…
