Another “stunning” piece of information: that there are media websites that ostensibly want you to interact with their content generation but keep you in a weird purgatory for months on end for no real stated reason and seemingly no way of getting out.

One of the most stunning pieces of information the internet has brought me is how many people give a shit about awards shows. “Stunning” is underselling it, too.

It also uses black characters only as some kind of Greek chorus to witness Rockwell’s bad behavior instead of in any way participating or truly existing in the narrative. The racism is there as shorthand for “middle America” instead of a real, systemic thing that exists.

Yeah. We’re crucifying men for being mean now. That’s definitely what that meant, and what is happening, and you’re totally normal for spending time wondering about that aloud on the internet.

I’m honestly not trying to be mean but those tweets are so obviously a cringey thing to do that I think these people unable to see that may be sharing some blindspots with Lena.

Would I have gone on Twitter to say it? No. But I’m private, and I don’t understand this era of leaping online to regale personal goings-on to literally the world.

She just said she thought something was happening and it wasn’t.

I liked when he “presumed” Franco didn’t know her age, and that it happened a while ago, even though the fact that it happened a while is only relevant for explaining how long we’ve known that Franco knew exactly how old she was.

You thought “but it happened a while ago” was convincing, didn’t you?

“The point stands that its years old.”

If you lived through it, it was a fascinating, shocking story. If you’ve heard of him but not the crime, it will blow your mind.

Sorry not to address your comment (which, you’re right, is really interesting), but I just have to give you a moment to accept some praise for that fuckin’ screenname.

tl;dr—James Franco blocking Wiseau from talking is the movie in a nutshell, really. Kept him around as a fun prop to help the fantasy that this story is really an inspirational broad comedy, instead of being honest and letting him (and the story) be entirely the person he is.

she probably shows up, does her bit and goes home and has a fun time with all of her famous friends on set

Let’s also not forget that Jake Tapper has the first name as Jake “the snake” Roberts, who let a snake bite Macho Man live on TV. Not saying he could do anything about it or that it means anything, but blahblahblah “actually.”

Imagine watching that interview and thinking that guy was smart.

lol how the FUCK am i still in the grey?

Honestly I get to a place where I feel like this stuff only brings a low-grade fury instead of making me entirely unhinged, and then this guy pops back up.

Didn’t see it because awards shows are dumber than an 80s sitcom but I bet Seacrest didn’t want to dwell too much on the Time’s Up/ #MeToo stuff because of the increased likelihood the Catt Sadler stuff would come up. Someone (Amy Schumer?) prodded others to call them out on the red carpet on it. Did anyone end up…
