No, it’s concern trolling to dismiss someone’s thoughtful insights and twist their words around, just so you can feel morally superior to them.

Concern troll strikes again!

File this obvious non-story under “Sam Barsanti Gets Paid By the Article”.

I would love it if Amazon retitled the show The Pfefferman Pfamily.

I like him as an actor, but I bet he reeks of cigarettes and body odor.

He has killed over 400 people with secondhand smoke.

OK good talk.

Oh, I’m so sorry I stunned you! OK, so you’re saying that anyone with a criminal past deserves to have it dredged up at any given moment, even years later, because that’s just their cross to bear. Got it. Disagree completely, but got it.

Can I ask you then, in all honesty: if you believe a famous person’s past is “fair game” in an interview, do you think it’s cool to ask an actress about a past rape or assault when she’s in the middle of promoting a project that has nothing to do with that, simply because it’s a trending topic?

MacArthur Park is so bad it seems like a joke, except Jimmy Webb was dead serious when he wrote it, and Richard Harris even more serious when he wheezed out the lyrics. The Donna Summer version gets a pass, though.

Yes, but she did tweet that she already told hundreds of people in the industry who he was.

Writer/producer Kevin McClory owned the Thunderball screen rights (after a legal battle with Ian Fleming), so he allowed…

What does any of that have to do with the number of female characters in Rowling’s books? Patricia Cornwell is a staunch Republican, and she’s written loads of novels with strong female protagonists. Same with Mary Higgins Clark.

There’s also Officer Powell in the police department, but he didn’t have much to do in season 2.

It is hard to imagine J.K. Rowling being just a cog in the patriarchy.

Now, now. Stranger Things has a whole token black family.

My 2 cents on this: I wrote and directed a horror film some years ago that had, essentially, an all-female cast (the only speaking parts for men were news reporters on TV). I thought it was a pretty good film, not perfect but pretty good. However, online horror critics - all amateurs, basically just movie fans with…

He had impeccable comic timing on Magnum P.I., and I loved his Mauna Loa macadamia nut commercials too. He did that Mid-Atlantic accent so well that I was shocked to learn he was a Texan.
