Here’s the thing...99.9% of America is not qualified to make a legal judgement. Do we try people in front of a jury of their peers? Yes, because that assumes that a cross section of America can be educated enough on the law during the trial process to render a judgement.

At first I thought the "Hopelessly Partisan" thing was a gag, but then I zoomed in on the image, and by god it's right there. And then I chuckled. And then I realized that 40% of the country will believe it. And then I got a headache.

Watching this is like having your gonads dragged through your body and out your mouth. On repeat. This must be how Sisyphus felt.

Yeah, but you chose to ignore the ORIGINAL REASON I POSTED. I was replying to someone who said Claire Foy wasn’t an A-Lister. My WHOLE point was that neither was Matt Smith. From an industry perspective, if you compare them on paper when casting an international period piece, they had comparable profiles because

He had no greater international acclaim and Doctor Who is not the equivalent of being an “A-List” actor. The original poster said that Claire Foy is not an “A-List” actor. Doctor Who or not, Matt Smith was not an A-Lister. The closest to an A-Lister in the Crown was John Lithgow. From an industry standpoint, Claire

That’s very much not what I said — Neither Matt Smith nor Claire Foy had a particularly high, mainstream profile. In terms of recognition, they had the literal same number of BAFTA nominations, roughly the same number of credits and Claire Foy had substantially more screen time on The Crown than Matt Smith did. John

His original plan after he lost the election (because even he wasn’t crazy enough to think he would win) was to start a TrumpTV channel, I bet that’s still the plan. Even when Fox News kowtows to him 99% of the time, the 1% where someone factually reports his bullshit or questions it has him saying Fox News is going

The reason that he thinks there is nothing wrong with asking a foreign government to interfere in our elections is that he got away with it the first time!

“Not even tv show levels of fame”

If the sound of a baseball player taking a strong swing at a pitch and missing it entirely could be written into words, it would be the second paragraph of this article.

Assuming that other people have the same limited knowledge as you is really stupid. All of the actresses you mentioned are B-List at worst. They’re not universally recognized names like Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie, but they’re still well known and successful. Also, it's hilarious that you say that Claire Foy doesn't

I thought her performance in Fosse/Verdon was transcendent. She completely upstaged her co-star, fellow Oscar winner Sam Rockwell,  and he was fantastic! She did her own dancing, completely nailed Verdon’s famous wavering voice, and ... I’m going to stop because I know you have no idea what I’m talking about. Don’t

I got the context. I’m not saying Ethan Hawke being paid more, generally speaking, is indefensible; I get the logic of it. I’m saying that making merely 10% of what he made is significantly less justified. It’s not a complicated notion. 

I’d argue Claire Foy had the same profile as the majority of the main cast of the Crown. Sure, Matt Smith had been on Doctor Who, but that’s hardly “A-List” even if it’s grown in popularity. Claire Foy had substantial recognition especially in England for Wolf Hall and Little Dorritt. They even had the same number of

I love Richard Linklater’s work to death, but this is not a great take. Even if no one is being paid much, a tenth of your co-star’s salary could be potentially life changing. If it’s on the low end, that’s probably a disparity of thousands of dollars. Linklater’s so involved with his films that he must’ve known. And

A Oscar winner/multiple nominee is d-list?

Yeah between getting the wrong Michelle and thinking Claire Foy is D list, me thinks this is an opinion that can be ignored.

This.

To be fair they hate every woman that marries into that family. Even the lily white ones. Meghan being biracial adds an extra degree to the hate. 

Simple Breakdown: Meghan Markle is Biracial and not Lilly white. Certain members of the press and public hate her for that reason. They hate that she a biracial woman married a Prince
