There’s at least 3 top comments hypothesizing that that he cries after sex, and the same for commenting that Tom and the writer shared food. It’s gross that people think that emotional connection between humans is something worthy of criticism. If you have never shared food then you need to go to therapy, same if you…

“always pushing me to do the right thing”

Dictators have been elected. Hitler, obviously, is the prime example. Stalin was elected through the normal state mechanisms and he was also a dictator. The list goes on, but I assume you get the point. Dictatorial authority is not inconsistent with normal constitutional mechanisms for elections and pathways to…

Except for the border between the north and the republic.

More than one mention of Germans and rudeness in this thread, and I think one of the biggest things about traveling is understanding that norms are different everywhere. I have traveled in Germany and northern Europe several times and have several colleagues and personal friends from the region. They are very…

Right? I bet most of the commenters on this website are somewhat guarded types. I know I am. Will never understand the vitriol she gets for just not being sunny/smiley.

Have you seen her in her smaller budget movies? Like in cloud of sils maria. She has a very guarded expression, but she is not blank.

I’m sure there will be some clever, totally original comments about how blank Kristen is from people who’ve only seen Twilight or saw a gif of her somewhere once.

Absolutely, she is extremely in command of her craft. You can see it in early films like Panic Room and Undertow (<- underrated, amazing film). Her choices since Twilight have been really exciting. She is very successfully transitioning into adult, film actress. I really can’t wait to see where she goes from here.

I feel like Kristen Stewart is about to be the next woman Jezebel adopts as their “new BFF” before ultimately turning on her for being too something.

The further we get beyond Twilight, the more I firmly believe Kristen Stewart chose to play Bella as blankly as possible.

No disrespect to the writer, however as someone who studied James Baldwin in a LBGT Lit class, the pink washing of his sexuality in all the coverage of the film is... just so last century as well as dishonest.

I think that’s been debunked. Marie wasn’t even his mom’s real name. it was Charlotte.

I think the implication is: first to die.

Don’t burn yourself on that take.

Well, you may need to take some of the criticism in hand, because that last one definitely makes you sound like you say. Even if her education proposal would have cost more, I’m not sure it’s even worthy of debate that that is money far better spent.

I’m more than cautious, I’m super-skeptical of him. He may have been right on the Ryan Lochte thing, but I got the sense that was more because he’s turning into a dude with a “cranky old man” sensibility.

Remember Cat Marnell’s essay about how abortion is bad and terrible and totally murdering a baby, and yes she’s had lots of them and will undoubtedly have more because she hates condoms and birth control makes her fat which makes it perfectly acceptable in her case, but they’re still horrible when anyone else has…
