I’m not really sure what the filmmaker had done before, but it’s not filled with cranks. It’s based on evidence collected by a private investigator (former cop) that Courtney Love herself hired while Kurt was missing, who terminated the business relationship because he came to believe she had arranged to have her…

For the longest time I thought it was a really dumb rumor, but after reading about it and seeing the recent documentary (“Soaked in Bleach”), I’m inclined to think it might be true. I loved her in high school, so it’s not me hating on her for any reason. The evidence looks pretty bad. :(

I know, but I still don’t like her.

Eh, it’s disappointing, but she just got out of a pretty long marriage in which her husband cheated on her for a long time and during which she found out he’d also had a child with a former girlfriend, which he denied until genetic testing forced him to acknowledge paternity during her marriage. Oh, and he had a…

This might actually be the thing that causes me to cancel my cable subscription. Repulsive.

Is he capable of speaking without it sounding like he’s acting? I’ve seen more convincingly natural performances in high school theater. I know that all candidates are putting on a show to a degree, but his constantly cloying delivery is really troubling. I genuinely suspect that he’s a psychopath, in the technical…

I saw in coverage on a different site that the facility is very near to a Planned Parenthood. They weren’t sure yet if there was any connection, but I wonder if the monsters who did this were also stupid enough to confuse the two buildings.

Can we stop calling them “shooters” and instead use “gunmen”? Because the problem is guns. Shooters makes it sound like they are somehow only a problem because they are shooting, when in fact the problem is that they have guns at all.

“Who would pay so much for an insurance policy this shitty?” Well, I would and I did. I froze my eggs last year. My doctors were plenty clear about the numbers involved — about a 3-5% chance per egg using current technologies, which are better than earlier freezing methods (making it hard to get a clear picture of…

The issue is that she implicitly criticized the teacher’s way of life. There was no need for her to explain her decision to remove her kids from what appears to be a private theatre class. I mean, she’s a bigot and that’s on her, but fine, they’re her kids so it’s within her rights to do with them what makes her…

Re: the U.S. Whig party, I don’t know how you figure that they were anti-intellectual....?

Well, yeah. I can’t deny that it’s funny. But he’s coming off like a childish jerk all the same. It would be one thing to say this stuff privately to a friend and have a laugh. He’s saying this stuff in public. That’s sixth-grade lunchroom snark. If you’re not better than that in your professional life, you might need…

Yeah — if she’d come out of the water and laid out on a towel, they’d be making snarky comments about how she looks in a bikini. And it looked like she knew they were there. In one picture, she seemed to be looking right at the camera. Damned if she does cover up and damned if she doesn’t, I guess?

The headline say she may have cheated with two country singers. The excerpt in the article says the second guy was not a country singer. I suppose it’s always possible there was a third “other” guy who was also a country singer. But, huh?

Call me cynical, but I’m inclined to think that “Tony” is parodying issues that many women around that same age deal with all the time.

I think this is the media issue she’s talking about:

Me, to my boyfriend, getting ready together in the morning and expressing anxiety about an upcoming birthday: “I’m still in pretty good shape for my age, right? I still look pretty good, I think.”

It’s a documentary. It’s presenting ideas and information that the audience is free to accept or reject, but it’s not the kind of thing she can say people shouldn’t be allowed to see. That’s the nature of free speech. If she really thinks it’s slander, she should sue the filmmakers and Tom Grant. If she had nothing to…

Agreed. She’s gorgeous, but I’m getting some Molly Shannon as Mary Katherine Gallagher vibes. Maybe that’s the humorous aspect referenced in the Waters quote?

It wasn’t totally unusual when there were legal restrictions on interracial marriage for one party to try to pass as their partner’s race, whichever way they thought they could go.
