Conservatives: Who hasn’t slept with a few children?
Liberals: She said “people of color” instead of “persons of color”? BURN HER

Sometimes when you read those sites the eat-their-own is so extreme it’s a little scary. I was reading the Root once and there was a whole thread about how Alexandra Shipp is too…

“Jezebel has been criticizing specifically Wilde as opposed to anyone else in the film or for that matter Clint Eastwood.”

“Does she have a producer credit or something? Or is it literally an actor being taken to task for the way the movie portrays her character?”

No.

And here’s the other thing: NOBODY FUCKING ASKED HER TO DEFEND THE MISOGYNIST PORTRAYAL OF THE REPORTER, but she fucking did anyway.

“but the real headline is that I’m so shocked everybody is blaming the woman who didn’t write or edit the film instead of the Clint Eastwood who did.”

Nobody blamed her at all, but SHE decided to take it upon herself to misunderstand the complaints about the character and assume it was just men attacking women for…

ugh- for the umpteenth time the reason the Jon Hamm character isn’t getting the scrutiny is because he is a made up character. Wilde is playing a real woman (who is dead and can’t defend herself) who is being slandered by this movie implying she slept with someone for a story. if they made up a fake character to be…

I learned about “quid pro quo” from Silence of the Lambs, so in my mind it started in this medium lol

It is the latter, and you can’t blame her for her probable contractual obligation to defend the movie, but it did seem like she stepped in it with her initial criticism. Like, she could have said no to the role but it’s a Clint Eastwood movie.

I’ll admit, I haven’t seen the film, but the description of the scene didn’t really sound like it implied a previous relationship between the two. Didn’t it really directly imply that the reporter generally traded sex for tips?

Her initial comments did sound like she was saying people were being sexist by pointing out the movie is sexist, but the real headline is that I’m so shocked everybody is blaming the woman who didn’t write or edit the film instead of the Clint Eastwood who did.

Werner Herzog did this in Wild Blue Yonder!

I got yelled at by some of his fans on here a few weeks ago but they were all burner accounts. I really don't know what the appeal of this dude is unless you're like a liberal stock broker or something

Why is this Alfred E. Neuman looking dork even in contention? Like what’s his draw? I’d actually be very interested in hearing from one of his fans here (does he have fans?) What do you like about him?

If anything, the style of many commercials nowadays has been heavily inspired by Malick’s recent(ish) esthetic, not the other way around.

Stephens quit Twitter in a huff, saying the insult was the “worst of humanity,” comparing Karpf to a Nazi, and even going on TV to bemoan his victimization. All this from a man who makes a living railing against “PC culture” and the silencing of controversial voices.

I still want to know if that school production of Alien was inspired by “Moms, Lies, and Videotape,” the episode of Bob’s Burgers in which Tina imagines the sixth grade putting on a production of Alien:

And Hugh Grant dunking on Piers Morgan yesterday is what I’d have gone with for the celebrity section.

If that’s the Best then this year was even worse than I thought. I liked this whole Pets Playing D&D thread that starts here better than most of those.

Malick splits an audience, I think he’s made some astonishing works of art, but I also think he’s made a fair amount of self indulgent wank.

Malick really needs to slow the hell back down.

I never thought I’d say it, but I miss the Malick who took a decade or more between pictures.  It was a longer wait, but the results were a hell of a lot better.
