HBO responded to these accusations by firing Melissa Barrera.

Well said. The review is a prime example of how so many opinions (especially on the AV Club, Twitter, et al) are now formed based on the ethnicity and/or sexual preferences of a character above their actions. Actions define a character but here we learn that Paula is surely sympathetic and the good guy of sorts…

This seems so ridiculous to me. You’re basically saying that if an employer pays for you to travel somewhere nice for work, every second of your day becomes their property to dictate.

Weirdly enough, Netflix just released another movie called Wedding Season less than two weeks ago. It’s a straight rom com though. 

“Lewinsky herself sparred with fans”

Did I just see someone learn and grow on the internet and on the same thread no less? I have now seen it all and you, sir, win the internet for the day. Take the damn star.

Bro you speak fluent English in a country riddled with crime and poverty. There's a good chance you're in a more privileged position than many of the Americans responding to you. 

his words “I wish people would understand that that shit literally did almost kill me.”

I get where you’re coming from, but this isn’t a “trauma olympics” thing. This is rich-person trauma versus poor person trauma.

Well this took an unexpected turn into a happy ended.

You can either heal from trauma or constantly try to win the trauma Olympics where no one else’s experiences matter because yours were worse. He never once compared wearing a dress to violent murder.

Meanwhile, around that time, in Colombia (where I am from), a neighbor was getting gunned down in front of me and my siblings for getting involved with a gangsters’ wife. I still have nightmares about that day. And no, it wasn't the first time somebody was shot nearby, but the first time I saw it from such a short…

Eh, no big loss. As we’ve seen from the recent trial, she’s not much of an actor! 

Harley Quinn show did it, also DC so technically counts

I’m betting it had more to do with violently shitting on someone’s bed.

Medium is the one source that absolutely shouldn’t be looked at for this since Heard is paying them for articles.

You are dead on about le Carre but instead of being bummed out that you’ll never write like him, you should be happy that you have the taste and knowledge to enjoy his work.

The way I heard it described on a podcast I listened to was that Kato knew Nicole somehow, and he was staying with her, paying her rent, this was her only source of income at the time. OJ found out, and offered to let him live in his guest house for free, to deny her that source of income. Of course, even being…

I think the reviewer is playing right into Mike White’s hand. Because of how vaguely Paula is written, and because of how she is cast, a lot of assumptions get made about her (like all of the people in the comments who automatically seem to have assumed she must come from *no* money).  Including the assumption that…

When did Hollywood decide that adding or subtracting a “The” was sufficient to distinguish between movies, even if they came out only a few years apart and feature overlap in casts? Anyway, I hope you all buy the debut album from my band, Beatles.
