I like King and LOVE Kubrick and think Kubrick's approach to every one of his films is "clinical" and while I don't think that as a director Kubrick intended to be misogynistic, I do think that with the subject matter of the majority of his films and a cold lens, his work can be taken that way. 'Lolita' is almost…

I'm suggesting he was raised in an environment where douchebaggery might have been inadvertently encouraged.

No, of course not Mike, because even in that sense you're a shitty, inconsistent, fairweather father. You left all the real work for Dina.

He SO does! Every image I've ever seen of him reeks of giant, cooking-in-a-dumpster-all-summer douche!

I'm with you and don't understand why so many here seem to think you've overreacted. In the context of Robin Thicke's world, he clearly experiences women as props. Another tell? For God's sake, his mother actually came to his defense after the Miley thing! A retired soap actress defended her 36yo son against the small…

Me too! Me too! And instead I was just like, "How have they gotten away with this??"

Michelle Williams as Sally Bowles?? Williams is so bland I can't even bother to recall what she looks like, I know it's just ... inoffensive, beige, unobstrusive — yeah, totally the Sally Bowles type!

I get the same cringe — with both Pitt and Jolie. I can't shake the feeling that they just are not nice people. It should not be any of my business and I have more to worry about in life, but it's just irritating that Pitt couldn't leave his unhappy marriage. Also, these two are movie stars that live in unimaginable…

Oh no, this is not about any sort of self-awareness. Now granted, I have not seen anything else with this poor girl, but she is either high or the goal of the director — like right down to her torn stocking and somewhat unshaven armpits — is to make her seem really effed up. Her posture, her distraction: she's on lots…

I'm going to try to add another layer here:

Thank you for this:

I've wondered this too. I've had maybe 5-6 first dates with guys who were successful professionally and seemed nice enough, I was flattered they were interested in me but to find maybe during the date or soon after in post-date emails that they were narcissistic and terribly insecure and most of all: just terrified.…

If anything, I thought she might have been continuing to flirt with him? He kinda blew that, I'd say (hope). But, his crazy eyes, Dwight Shrute face, and Twitter tantrum are instant Internet classics!

also how juror selection and education is so damn important. It sounds like she was/is confused, and that the court did a poor job explaining to the jurors what their rights are. It had to be awful to not be savvy in that area

Seriously, how could someone remain BFFs with a woman that's a physician posting such things on Facebook?! That doctor is a major asshole for doing that! Medical health professionals definitely have to deal with some highly troubling patients sometimes but if they don't have the maturity and compassion to be in that…

Thank you for pointing out what I so easily missed and just judged from my laptop screen: I have no idea what it's like to be her. Period.

But wouldn't you do what you needed to do to get safe as soon as possible and not hang out while on the phone with 911?

I've wondered this too. It's one thing to try to discredit someone, or a movement, maliciously because its getting attention (like how "Jane Roe" was an alcoholic slut to some, a victim of spousal rape to others) but I'm not so sure bringing attention to someone who cannot leave a dangerous confrontation with a john…

I've had to go through the US court system twice, unfortunately, and compared to my peers have met more than my fair share of cops too (partially due to drug use) and while I actually have met some really great police officers (seriously; 2) the overwhelming majority were terrible, cynical, burned-out people (at best)…

Smugly! I know because a few used to pretend to bother to apologize about not cuddling with me before they dozed off.
