I don’t know why, but Brittany Murphy’s sad end haunts me more than just about any other Hollywood tragedy.  I think because, in contrast to so many stories of tragedy, which tend to involve corruption and some kind of descent into drugs and illness, Murphy by comparison seemed naive and earnest in her desire to…

I remember the bigger ones that would come attached to a shoestring lariat and we would wear them around our necks. Circa 1982.

Fun fact, it’s actually been around since the mid 70s. I used it in high school when it came in a much larger tube - the size of a piece of sidewalk chalk. I remember always having it my coat pocket. Bonne Bell, the company that made them among other cosmetics, went out of business, but then Lip Smackers reappeared in…

6k is a fucking joke.

Okay. Sure...
Fine him a (measly) $6k independently.

Then ban him from the SAG, and file a police report. Full stop.

6k fine? yeah, that’ll teach him.

Could someone please cut Laura Ingraham’s mic before she tries to point out that since these women were walking around in nipple pasties and underwear, they were clearly asking for it?

“A spokesperson for Pardue told the Los Angeles Times that the actor “never engaged in any nonconsensual behavior.””

I am pretty sure that Quentin Tarantino is one of the last filmmakers who would need to concoct some nonsense stunt to drum up business for his movie, especially one co-headlined by DiCaprio and Pitt.

Honestly I’m pretty impressed they used a prosthetic during a scene like that; Dane was very open about how it was difficult to film and they were concerned about the actress being uncomfortable and facing harm. Good on them for discussing it. 

Came here to post this.  My wife actually bought me one and I love it 

I’d like to issue a counterpoint, as someone who was basically raised in a bodybuilding gym (my dad was a bodybuilder back in the day, and our garage was converted into a gym and was a local hangout for bodybuilding for those who didn’t feel welcome in a traditional gym in the 80s.) compression tights were not a…

Football players have been sporting crotch towels forever. I've seen the center use it the most frequently does just the reason your husband states

The benefits reportedly include increased blood flow and reduced muscle fatigue.

I think the director handled this perfectly. Her aim is awareness. If you censor or diminish the severity of the act, you are also doing so in the subconsciousness of your viewers.

I mean, they’re young and flexible and don’t need three damn weeks to recover from muscle pulls, they think all this fancy hoo-ha is fun or whatever, go ahead girls, knock yourselves out while you can still think of sex, to quote Bill Bryson, as something other than a welcome excuse to lie down.

Yeah. For the doctors to be able to tell that she was multiparous, she would have had to had pregnancies that went pretty far, if not all the way full term. Were those late miscarriages/stillbirths? Second trimester abortions? Did those kids get born and sold, a la Georgia Tann?

Yep. I’m going to start stockpiling meds and I’m taking them all before I need to go into a place like this. 

That scene with the mistress was breathtaking, I had to rewind and rewatch.

I loved how they didn’t even try to pretend Amy wasn’t Kellyanne Conway by the end. An intelligent woman selling her soul to work for a moron and now wearing skin-tight sheath dresses? HMM. She seemed to get somewhat redeemed by the funeral, though.
