I think that Room and Short Term 12 were really good examples of Larson being a strong actress.

It’s like reading about Hitler and Eva Braun hiding out in the bunker before they decided to off themselves!!

The argument for “identity politics” or the wokeness factor of entertainment mostly ignores that this is at heart a kid’s movie. It’s fine to have a message about kindness or acceptance, but it can’t be the central reason for something succeeding or failing.

This feels like a continued issue when they are hiring 27 year olds to play 15 year old so they can have a wild sex scene. The lines are so blurred that some idiot, with no grasp of the CHILD in front of them, can’t separate the two divergent ages.

Bragg’s case is by far the weakest and should have been filed AFTER the rest of them took their pound of flesh.

It’s a really strange visual, Meagan stroking his head?

Time for The Fall of The House of Sussex - West Coast Edition!

There is a certain irony to the “circular firing squad” nature behind correcting grammar while failing to use correct grammar.

Thank you for writing that... as a white guy the notion of tying reparations to entertainment feels ugly. It’s too serious a topic to be played for clicks and what is frankly the opinion of the author.

That’s the rub, the “good ones”, the ones people need to step up, often get ostracized or worse by their fellow officers. The choice becomes staying and trying to do the right thing in situations or being run out of town for even trying.

$7,613,636- that’s the money he gave up with his stupid antics!

An author trying to be both humorous and incisive, yet failing at both!

Popular podcast? It was so out-of-touch with the real world as to be a joke. You don’t tackle real issues by bringing Paris Hilton on while she’s promoting a book.

They sold the fantasy of access to a world few had and couldn’t deliver. There’s only so many “famous friends” you can parade around while trying to turn every conversation back around on themselves.

Taylor Swift knew the pricing scheme of the tickets going into her concert. The production values are high and the number of people it takes to put together 3+ hour shows and move on to the next town (90 trucks) is enormous. Add in her father is a financial advisor, they had all the information. It’s disingenuous to…

This isn’t about “The Incarceration State” or criminal justice disproportionately affecting POC. This woman prayed on the fears of people with serious illnesses promising a test that was accurate and less invasive.

She owes the previous bunch of lawyers $30M and growing.

With the amount of restitution ordered by the courts, she’d have the money seized before it ever hit her accounts. 

She’ll most likely serve her entire 11 yr sentence sine one of the requirements for early release from Federal Prisons is making restitution in some manner. Given she’s already trying to cry about never being able to pay, they’re trying to lay the groundwork.

The scope of her crimes will never be fully realized given the dubious connections that can’t be directly linked to her FRAUD. People who relied on her product were given false hope or panic that informed medical decisions.
