I thought Portman’s work in “Black Swan” was WAY overrated, but she is legitimately terrific in “Jackie”.

Plus, that trope seems to be singularly used when a female character breaks bad.

Agreed, there’s no emotional investment for the viewers. Jean was just introduced last movie and was primarily in Plot B.

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words & upvote! :-)

Totally. While I think the Russo Brothers are a much better tonal fit for the Avengers, I still applaud Whedon for cementing the interpersonal relationships in the first two movies.

Ugh. I hate this new 15 minute time limit on commenting. I also want to say:

You ABSOLUTELY hit the nail on the head with regards to why the print version of TDPS saga worked.

I actually DID read the excerpt, so your attempt at snarky superiority fails.

And I completely understand your reasoning and points you’ve made.

The phrase “wigger” is past due for permanent cancellation. I understand, in this context, it’s being used to highlight the cultural appropriation Seth Green’s character engages in.

I find it upsetting there are people on here* using a completely unrelated incident to mock Kattan. Regardless of whether he exaggerated the neck injury or not, that scenario has nothing to do with the Michaels/Heckerling story.

Regardless of Heckerling’s intentions, its clear that *Michaels* engaged in questionable behavior. Kattan says he felt pressured by Michaels to have sex with Heckerling. And he (Kattan) was deeply uncomfortable with the request.

It’s not consensual if one of the parties feels coerced. Based on the quotes, Kattan makes it clear that engaging with Heckerling wasn’t something he considered until Michaels brought it up. And then, his immediate reaction wasn’t sexual desire - it was uncomfortableness.

Plus, he spent his entire 20s there: arguably one’s most emotionally formative decade as an ‘adult’.

“If he gets on the convention circuit he can be Jon Snow whenever he wants.”

Not that it matters, but for a while Brown *was* being lauded as Jackson’s successor. Prior to the Rihanna scandal and his getting a ton of tattoos, his image was seen as squeaky clean. Disneyesque, even.

Thank you. The responses on here have been incredibly gross.

Ever since Dion hired Law Roach as her stylist, her fashion game is A+ every single time she’s in public.

I’m still upset Josh Holloway wasn’t cast as Hawkeye. He would’ve been perfection - especially if the MCU had written him as the comics-version ladies’ man.

She reminds me of Stephen Miller: deliberately being contrary & awful in environments they know their viewpoints are unwelcome in.
