I do not like that he is being called a hero. There’s conflicting reports of either shielding family, or he died instantly before anyone knew what to do.

The overwhelming majority of actors are unsuccessful, but they still act anyway. It’s the sort of thing that a lot of people do for the sheer love of it, while working regular day jobs.

Dr. Ruth and Richard Simmons on the same day.  Farewell, legends.  The 80s really are over. 

No, it means that it cannot be refiled. I hope my sharing of knowledge helped.

I would argue it means the exact opposite. 

The worst part is probably his terrible actions.

Did you respond to yourself?  Maybe you forgot to log into one of your other toxic alts?

She was revelatory to critics and audiences in her early work (“Thieves Like Us” in particular) and a highly respected performer. “Faerie Tale Theater” was enormously well-reviewed and beloved by viewers looking for something above the ghetto of television at the time and actors and celebrities were lining up to…

I’d also point out that a lone female accuser who was also suing for half a million dollars would be absolutely crucified online, and there is no way it would kill the guy’s career by itself. Casey Affleck settled two different sexual harassment lawsuits in 2010 and has appeared in 16 movies since then, including last…

Being an asshole does seem possible. She IS married to Shia LaBeouf.

I don’t have to imagine it, that happens all the time!

There’s an insane amount of misogyny in discussions of her performance in The Shining. (Which is appropriate considering how misogynistic King’s early works are, whether or not he can admit it.) People saying things like “I was rooting for Jack” and “I wanted to kill her as well.” Like, do you say that to all battered…

I recently rewatched The Shining and it’s so strange the discourse around her in it because her performance not only isn’t bad, it’s uniquely good. It’s honestly one of the most brutally realistic depictions of a woman in an abusive relationship. It’s interesting too because throughout the movie she’s legitimately…

Had to replace “but her emails” eventually :/

Next year when Trump is President and the Supreme Court strikes down gay marriage, “...but he had a bad debate...”

That’s certainly a take.  Not, like, a good one, but it is one!

“If there’s not a candidate I like, all of you can burn in a fascist hell for all I care because I don’t.”

Yeah, I always felt the blowback was slightly, emphasis on slightly, disproportionate to the offense and likely colored by her being queer and a woman. I just don’t see someone like a Stephen Colbert being brought down with such glee the way she was.

Thank you. It is worth remembering just how many walls she knocked down in 1997 and just how much shit she took for it. 

While I certainly don’t feel sorry for her, it’s undeniable she’s been put through the ringer, both for things that were outside of her control as well as for her own flaws and shortcomings.
