“...Warner Bros. TV has reviewed 10 of the eight scripts for the drama...”

that’s what I call due diligence!

Nobody’s saying the government should force him to be quiet, they’re using their free speech to call an asshole an asshole.

Ricky Gervais can say what he likes, we have the right to oppose it or JUST TURN THE CHANNEL!

you should watch the clip before you comment!

Didn’t know they invited Dog the Bounty Hunter to their wedding.

So, despite all the back and forth over who abused who, the case is Depp suing Heard for civil defamation. In the US, the bar for Depp to prove this (as the burden is on him) is very high due to the first amendment. It’s also worth noting that he also has to prove that not only did he not physically abuse her but that…

100% chance that Jimmy used to shake up Chuck’s soda cans!

I bet you could relax in a truck stop shower if you spent a day in a New Mexico storm cellar.

Now how’s that supposed to work?

“accurately reported the context”

“Dude! He just shot that guy in the balls, just like Jesus would have.”

Do people not like Howard? I mean he’s definitely not perfect but he overall has been portrayed as a pretty decent guy IMO.

This is where I think Jerry West has a legitimate gripe about Winning Time. The series makes him out to be a raging asshole/alcoholic from what I’ve read, and by all accounts that appears to be 100% untrue. I think, like you said, this is a nuanced problem that deserves nuanced discussion. What do filmmakers owe to…

It feels like there’s a nuanced discussion to be had here about what a “fictional” story about real people and real events owes to its viewers and subjects.
