Didn’t want to deal with an American death on NK soil. Sending him back still ‘alive’ but in a coma they can now ‘blame’ the US for his ultimate passing.

She seems to be attracted to total shit-show type men. She has been married to Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, and Rick Solomon (Rick was the guy starring in Paris Hilton’s sex tape). Other than having money (and not sure how much they actually have these days since their hey-days are over), these men basically suck at life, and…

No, by New York, I mean all five boroughs. Millions of people are interborough commuters. I lived in the Bronx at the time, twelve miles away, and I got calls from local loved ones who were fully aware I have no business in the Financial District.

It was the cheapest (and also most flammable) of the three ‘pleasing to the eye’ claddings. Looks good + cheap > causes mass death. The fact that this was a tower block with highly flammable new cladding, no sprinklers, and a fire alarm that didn’t go off until 5 hours after the start of the fire, and was populated…

In contrast, Lord Mayor Sadiq Khan showed up the next day and stood in front of a crowd of people hurling insults and boos and complaints at him. But he didn’t run away, he stood there only a foot away and took it. Probably because he understands that these people need an outlet for their grief and anger.

Ohhhh QEII shade is a highly entertaining thought that I am here for.

I’m thinking the Queen has shown in a very shady and effective way exactly what she thinks of the new government.

Given the bulk of council funding is taxation based on property values... it also means that they probably had the largest income vs expenditure in the country.

I heard someone make the argument that, had she directed him to kill someone else, she’d be liable for the death that resulted. From a logical standpoint, then, if the person she directed him to kill was himself, wouldn’t she be legally liable for the death as well?

Its the same as if she was at a murder, and yelled STAB HIM MORE! If people get arrested and convicted of being accessories for being in the room with a murder happening, then she is just as culpable.

Funnily enough, that’s why our court system has judges schooled in the law and doesn’t rely on anonymous internet commenters for verdicts and punishments.

It’s murky legally, because normally another person’s intentional action, i.e. turning a car on and filling it with carbon monoxide, and then intentionally deciding to get back in after questioning it, breaks the chain of proximate causation. But that’s not an absolute rule. I’m not sure she should be held liable for…

My understanding is that was the crux of the trial, the law isn’t exactly clear if she was legally culpable (IMHO because it was written before the age of social media and the expansive instant communication we now have). I understand being torn, but personally I think this is a good thing. The way we communicate as a…

So how much rape does the show need to be rebooted as Bachelor of Thrones?

I’ve seen The Color Purple multiple times and even I forgot Steven Spielberg directed that one. It’s so closely associated with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey and blackness in general that the white director kinda gets forgotten, at least in the circles I’m in.

This link will show you everything he and his company (Plan B) have produced. It’s a very impressive list, including many non-mainstream projects that would arguably never hadve seen the light of day without his imprimatur on them. It can be said that over the last 15 years, his producing efforts have had a measurable…

I agree the idea could have had potential if they approached the films thinking “B movie” instead of blockbuster.

I did some research on IMDB.

What do these movies/shows have in common?: Okja, The OA, Moonlight, Selma, The Normal Heart, Eat Pray Love,

Brad Pitt was an executive producer on all of them and he wasn’t in the cast.

Can you imagine Tom Cruise producing something and saying, “That’s OK, I don’t have to be the star.”

I…

Audiences and critics are so stupid. Don’t they know there’s nothing more fascinating than a white man in his 50's running around, pretending to be Indiana Jones? 

I’ve adored Harris since the 00's, and I’m disgusted by anyone who would call her out while ignoring the white men who were getting into literal shouting arguments with there questions. I’m also disgusted by anyone who would fail to point out the combination of blatant sexism and racism that is feeding those…
