I mean, she was Paris Hilton’s assistant and friend and saw what a tape did for Paris. 2+2=4. Everyone’s assumed this since the beginning. I hope for her sake it was her and it wasn’t leaked because at least then it was her choice.

She did bring attention to what she intended by virtue of our discussion of it here and people linking to twitter threads about her personal connection to the genocide. If you’re so worried about only posting to the internet if it’s helpful, commenting on Jezebel is most ironic act possible.

It just reminds me of the part in “Scrooged” when the ghost of Christmas Past says “That’s EXACTLY what Attila the Hun said. But when he saw his mother... Niagara Falls!”

“Allowed” is just a matter of whether you’re prepared to accept the consequences for doing the right thing. What were the consequences? She would have to step down? Let someone else be the face of the rotten machine? She did have options. And she chose to just go along to get along. People can criticize that.

If anything, she brought attention to the fact that not everyone feels the need to be respectful of a person who represents an arcane institution not worthy of respect or even existence. And I bet that was worth it if even one person looks into what happened in Nigeria who didn’t know before.

Or that Lea Michele may have even requested more body-conscious costumes - this is also a possibility. And not unusual.

Ehhh... making fun of someone for speaking English as a second language and normalizing that kind of attitude makes life harder for a whole category of people. Being hyperbolic about the cultural impact of a movie genre just comes off as pretentious.

Kith used Steve Buscemi in their spring campaign so this feels like they’re following a blueprint with prominent New Yorkers of a certain stature and age.

Serena had an emergency c-section and then almost fucking DIED, Margaret, you fucking chode. Enjoy your sour grapes.

Every show this man is in is full of these gems. Matt Berry is a dialogue assassin.

Just look at the replies here with all the football fans acting like there’s no risk of serious injury. Spoken like a lot of people who never tore an ACL.

The man’s already had many concussions and injuries and is sure to sustain more. And now it’s no secret what the long term effects of that can be. Jfc I forgot how much football fans don’t give a shit about players. You go tear your ACL and MCL and then tell me how it’s no big deal.

The other part of this is his stubborn insistence to continue a career that puts him at great risk of grave injury and/or death. Short-term AND long-term! To ask your spouse to continue to not pursue her career which is FAR safer and predictable so you can go out and risk life and limb is so selfish. Sure, they have…

And the whole “Sorry I’ve been verbally and emotionally abusive. I had a bad day at the office.” excuse is so deeply gross and commonplace. Be an adult and go decompress when you have a bad day. Recognize your fucking emotions and deal with them yourself, don’t make it your kids’ fucking problem!!! UGH - my stepdad…

Exactly. Plus we know Kanye loved to drag Amber Rose like she had less value than Kim because of her sexual history. These women are good enough for him when they want him and he wants them, but when they don’t, he acts like they’re “impure.” This man is so full of shit.

These days it seems like these films are made for film festivals and academy members, Oscar Bait. Usually it’s obvious from the fact that story is so pained and dramatic. I’m somewhat hopeful that a biopic might be actually good, but then there have been a lot of ham handed biopics.

It wouldn’t even have to be revisionist. There were some communities where people were queer and no-one cared. There’s a show called Versailles on Netflix that is a semi fictional account of Louis XIV’s reign during the period where he built Versailles, and his brother is openly gay in court and dresses in a nonbinary…

And they can be monogamous, too!

This. And just because we see a character having a sexual and romantic relationship with a woman doesn’t mean that character can’t be anything other than a lesbian unless the character explicitly states “I don’t have romantic or sexual attraction towards men or other genders.” Vice versa goes for the actors like…

Ultimately, showing the audience a sanitized version of the Marilyn story was never Blonde’s purpose—it also wasn’t the purpose of the Joyce Carol Oates 1999 novel of the same title, on which the film is based.
