In addition to what everybody is pointing out: this fake thing was put in to disparage this real person and turn her into more of a villain, it also kind of underlines the Trump view of the world that because he doesn’t have any technical skill or mastery nobody does and everybody is faking it. This comes through when

Man, there is really no celebrity that is above turning around and selling their convictions down the river to deflect criticism when it affects them personally, huh?

If nothing else, this article is a reminder that Custer’s Revenge isn’t a worthwhile topic of discussion - it’s a gross footnote in video game history that’s been assigned outsize importance simply because it’s gross.

She signed up to do a movie directed by Clint Eastwood, what did she expect. Eastwood’s movies have long since become just extended versions of a Blue Bloods episodes about dogged, misunderstood white men. Hard pass

The thing I always wondered about United 93 were the inconsistencies in reporting of the Let’s Roll phone call. The first time it was reported it was said that he spoke to an operator who conveyed the message to his wife, then they said it was his wife he talked to directly, then they said he dialed zero at the tone

It was baseless pandering. Theyre being condescending.

Yeah, maybe the guy who made Goodfellas, The Age of Innocence, Silence, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Last Temptation of Christ, After Hours, Raging Bull, and Hugo needs work on his range.

Leaving aside the fact Olivia Wilde is playing a real person whose character is smeared by the movie, the “female reporter sleeps with source/subject to get the latest hot scoop” is a gross trope that Hollywood can’t seem to let go of, and it’s absolutely acceptable to criticize any writing that leans on something so

I thought that much of the dislike for that scene stemmed from Marvel relegating female characters to the background/supporting roles for 4/5ths of the decade it took us to get to Endgame, only giving Wasp and Captain Marvel top-tier importance in the home stretch. It came across as a calculated rebuttal to critics:

Last Sunday, the AJC posted an article about this:

It’s not at all sexist to complain about a movie implying a real journalist who is now dead and unable to defend herself traded sex for access though.

Man, you’re really shooting for the full Bingo card on this one. Good luck winning whatever the shitty prize is, I guess.

After watching as much of that YouTube reaction video as I could stomach (10 seconds), I am so very glad I live in a country where people SHUT THE FUCK UP while watching a film. Even though at my equivalent opening-night viewing you could sense the excitement bristling through the audience, the relative silence

Somebody ought to ask Sondra Locke if Clint Eastwood is the right person to write nuanced female characters. 

Yeah, this invention is really truly disgusting and the family of Kathy Scruggs should explore legal action.

American Snipe, while a well made and acted film, basically blazed through with rewrites of history, retcons, omissions and lies.  Its resemblance to real life is pretty far removed. 

I’ll never know, cuz I’m not seeing this or anything directed by that batshit old crank ever again. This member of the ‘pussy generation’ will be keeping his twelve bucks. Get over that, Clint.

I’m a little salty about them having what might be the most ill-concieved idea for an episode in all of podcast history, but I’ll admit that they handled the situation with more grace than the chucklefucks in this comment section have cumulatively exhibited in their entire pathetic lives.

In ‘American Sniper’ Eastwood conveniently overlooked the fine point we had occupied someone else’s country under false pretenses and the sniper-guy was murdering patriots defending their country from foreign aggression. I wonder if in this new story Eastwood conveniently overlooks the fine point that the terrorist

I only made 5 minutes past the point Clift recommended for those wanting the rundown. I’m not familiar with this particular podcast, but it’s super cringe-y listening to the hosts, mostly the guy, keep trying to defend what was clearly a dumb moment. Heather says “if there was a podcast about gay comedians, I might be
