I’m a creative myself. From a creative process POV, sharing a script in an early draft is a tricky thing, and requires a level of trust amongst the collaborators. Going to the press is not something that fosters trust. Kushner is famous for extensive revision of his works, even post publication. I don’t know exactly…

Agree. I think it was right of her to check in with Spielberg to be on the safe side. But to publicly call out Kushner for what she stresses multiple times is a very early, very rough draft? That’s not really cool. (Sidenote: if she’d like to criticize the choice of using a white writer on this project, that’s another…

Yeah, “the guy” that, as far as they knew, literally could have been any white guy they came across that struck them the wrong way. It’s not like they had a detailed description of the perp to go on.

In the “good news?” department: at least men’s bodies are finally being judged with the unrealistic standards and vicious severity usually reserved for women. Yay?

Yes, I get that. It’s messed up and a result of racial bias, for sure, and if you read the entire interview in the Independent, Neeson is aware of how horrible this impulse was (I’m going to state again that I don’t think this excuses anything). The point is, yes, people sometimes do things like take revenge out on an…

Also, that comment was directly in response to this question (which I should have included in my OP):

Well, they went on the hunt for a guy matching whatever description they had of a white guy. He wasn’t identified by name until after they caught him. Who knows what they might have done if they had come across a guy matching his description?

I’m sure Neeson’s key demo sees absolutely nothing wrong with these statements.

After Richard Speck raped and murdered 8 nurses in Chicago in one night in 1966, my uncle and a group of his friends roamed the streets for 3 nights afterwards looking to find and kill the guy. They were not friendly with the victims, but it happened in their neighborhood and they were out to avenge the victims. They…

That’s a dad bod? You’re a tough crowd!

I was at a Superbowl Party with kids. When he took of his shirt, the two 10 year old girls totally lost their shit and were screaming “I WANT TO MARRY HIM!” The Levine demographic: People who watch The Voice.

I think these guys were stalking him and waiting for him. They knew he worked on Empire...this wasn’t just some random attack. It was pre planned.

I am in the subway stop almost every single day. The platforms are very far underground at that stop, so there are many, many stairs. There is no way a ramp structure would work there.

Though, this subway stop does have escalators to get down to the platforms once you are down one level. She must have fallen on the…

Im more concerned about that toddler that “fell” down a 10in wide hole in Spain. 10in is a tight fit even for a 2yo, no matter which way you look at it.

Yeah. People expressing surprise about him being on that cover need to catch up!

He is also seriously, seriously AMAZING in The Favourite. Based on his performance, I’m not surprised he’s on this cover at all.

He is AMAZING in it. I know everyone in it is, but I thought it was pretty transformational, in terms of what that role will mean for his career.

This not scandalous. He sent dick pix to a woman he was in a relationship with, who presumably wanted them. It’s not like he was spamming a stranger with them, a la Brett Farve. I feel bad that they’re getting out—not that I love Bezos or anything, but it’s private business between 2 consenting adults.

When I was a baby adult and moved to NYC, I temped a lot while I was on the job hunt. One day, I was assigned to a proctologist (longer story for another time). I was his receptionist for the day, in a old building on the Upper East Side. The office was small, so there was a folding desk in the hall for me to sit at…

Totally—add Al Pacino and Paul Newman to that list! Pacoino didn’t win for the work he did in Scent of a Woman, not really. And we all know Newman did far better work than he did in Color of Money. Totally common.
