I don’t think he’s wrong up until the Lebron James thing. That said, it’s always going to sound a bit weird to be the white guys celebrating a way to play the sport that the best players in the sport don’t always subscribe to. His connections to greater cultural movements are also not incorrect. Showboating used to be

Similar enough thing happened where it was a mother the other day. Obviously men do this more than women but the gender isn’t the issue. Guns are.

Fuck this dude. Sky Ferreiras first album was some dope, dark shit. She's pop in so much as pop means a song is catchy.

Theres something to a lot of appropriation. But if we’re going to make something out of this we are literally reaching a point where there nothing can be shared across racial lines. It’s becoming a joke. You can make sound arguments about lots of specific appropriations, but music has always been the most flimsy to

This is a tragedy. I look forward to the moment that we as liberal Americans can realize that calling out the Muslim world for atrocities like this is not the same as disparaging those Muslims who live within our own social norms and have rejected all this. Those communities, within the west, should also grow a

Unfortunately that's what some Jezzies are saying. I guess it's not a lot of people but gorsh this stuff is headache inducing. Glad the majority see this as genuine (enough).

He was replaceable from what? The movie came out years ago.

Jesus give me a fucking break. Your comment and others like it display what is fundamentally wrong with a world increasingly beholden to comment sections. This guy makes small, minor movies. His success with the 20,000 euro budget Once enabled him to make the film Keira was in. But still for very little money in the

The comments were gendered? Why? Because she's a woman? Jezzies, people can be assholes without being misogynists...

What a fucking ridiculous assumption. God. People have workplace dissatisfaction all the time. Why you would assume that says way more about you than this situation.

I agree. It’s pretty tactless on his part. This is the sort of thing you really shouldn’t speak to in public. Most people don’t...it’s not like everyone in the business gets along. So yeah, in that sense, the guy’s certainly a bit too loose or just a dick.

I’m not being argumentative, but is he really demeaning men and women in that chuck of text? Or is he not just noting what is motivating voters? I’m not defending the guy but we all shouldn’t have so much trouble acknowledging the many people, their social views repugnant as they might be to us, who are right to feel

Here, here!!! God. Sometimes I feel like there’s no oxygen in being a dude who agrees with 99% of what’s on this site. I’m a feminist. I don’t need a medal or recognition. I state it because sometimes people assume if you take a certain deviating by a percentage point from the current trend that you’re a wolf in

He didn’t say that. Different directors ask of their actors different things. Sometimes it’s just show up knowing your lines. Sometimes it’s “let’s really talk about this and get our collective creative consciousness flowing”. Some actors are flexible and some are inflexible. He seems to be suggesting she's the

The guy means who you are on a deeper level. Keira has never had much range and you would never call her performances “raw”. I’m sure Levine was just game to have a job like this and the director likely had lower expectations.

It is possible to not defend or convict Depp...Amber Heard got her restraining order. The rest will take place in court.

Well it also speaks a bit to how narcissistic this girl is. It’s one thing to be some “discovered” model. Shit happens. Those Lithuanian girls probably aren’t dreaming of walking the catwalk in Paris and New York.

Seems more like typical youthful selfishness and navel gazing.

Men do this with their daughters all the time. No one bats an eye. Some people are crazy.

I thank you for this. It is a gift.
