I wouldn’t mind a Cleopatra movie that actually did justice to how intelligent and ruthless she was, rather than just framing her as a femme fatale.

Yeah, I have no idea why people are insisting this is “porn.” It depicts girls mimicking much more adult dances they’re exposed to via social media to rebel against circumstances that are either regressive or abusive. This is not framed, however, as liberation, and the main character eventually realizes this when she…

The tone of the articles on this here are bizarre. Is it possible that Depp abused Heard? Sure. Is Heard also on tape admitting to hitting Depp and telling him no one would believe him? Yes. Has Heard been accused of domestic violence by former partners? Yes.

You’re thinking of Kelly Preston and Charlie Sheen.

I think he’s actually shot himself in the foot by being a pretty good actor, since the vibe of some of his best known characters is extremely smarmy, so people have concluded that is his actual personality. I recall seeing exactly one interview of him where he basically seemed nervous and excited and a little awkward…

I honestly wouldn’t have a problem with rally-holding or political gatherings assuming some basic precautions were taken like: limiting seating to allow distancing, require masks, ensure plenty of hand sanitizer is available, explore options like outdoor venues, etc. And you would think, if people were reasonable,…

This is a fair point about the way the underlying interview itself was framed in the original piece, which is why I think the focus on Johnson in the write-up here is kind of bizarre.

Please see below for a full and complete accounting of my feelings on your comment:

Exactly.  There’s a big difference between “these crystals will cure your depression” and “I’ve learned to live with my depression in a way I can experience as beautiful.” For her to describe the latter is not a personal attack on people who don’t share her experience, but this article sure feels like a personal…

She’s very watchable in her work with Luca Guadagnino (Suspira, A Bigger Splash).

Imagine expressing how you have learned to cope with your mental health, only to be told you’re wrong because it might not be relatable for everyone.

If I’d known white feminism and privilege tasted so good, I’d put it in everything.

She may or may not be an asshole, but her apple galette is very cool.

I had to look this up too. Looks like she sent some pretty unsavory tweets to a 17 year old Courtney Stodden in 2011 telling her, among other things, to take a “dirt nap.” Teigen would have been in her mid-20s at the time. I’m not sure what was sexual, but for an adult to tell a teen she wishes for her death is . . .…

Definitely unforced error, but seems like the kind of unforced error that is common for people who suddenly find themselves on a bigger platform and don’t realize that they are now recognizable enough that these kind of comments aren’t going to come off like punching up anymore, but will just seem bitchy.

Ew.

I can only support this if titanium is the aliens’ weakness, like water in Signs or oxygen in War of the Worlds, or Kryptonite to Kryptonians (maybe the aliens will be from Titan?).

Yes.* You get a uniform allowance for it if you’re enlisted, but not if you’re an officer (but obviously officers get paid more). It’s a pain in the ass though, especially for the Airmen who likely just bought new uniforms.

Yes, but hopefully they come up with something for the actual astronauts to keep them safe from them aliens. /s

Just on the Space Force uniforms, while I agree that camo is pretty silly for space, and don’t really understand why the Air Force switched the the operational camouflage pattern that the Army was using, logistically it makes sense for the Space Force to have this uniform. The Space Force is currently made up of what…
