This. It’s easy to judge and say “oh he knew who he was working with and his reputation”, but if he had turned the role down it just would have gone to someone else. He’s an up and coming actor and this was a huge deal. Burning bridges like that might likely tanked his career before it had even properly started.

Brit here. I shouldn’t worry. Whichever way Brexit goes (it seems to have been going on for a decade) it shouldn’t affect you or tourists in general. It won’t be like a government shut down, it’s just a few people yelling in Westminster - everyone else is just going about things as normal. Nice looking bread, yum! I’m…

Good for you Ms Rodgers. Even if the idiot had been squished which she obviously wasn’t being, blame the seating. People come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Rudeness apparently comes in extra large servings. Still I’m sure that woman will totally in no way regret her five minutes of “fame”.

I still think it’s funny that the C word is used as a friendly greeting mostly with blokes over here in the UK where as it’s a total no-no unless you are insulting someone in the USA. There are some pretty old fashioned swear words out there too - it still makes me laugh that the censors didn’t notice the insult “quim”…

My first take on this is “why is he wearing what looks  like his dad’s underwear on stage?” The second is he sounds like a terrible person and I honestly don’t know of anyone who knew about him before the horrible sex tape thing.

Brotherhood Of The Wolf (Le Pacte de Loups). I re-watch it every year - it’s gorgeously shot, has romance, action and a cool monster. Also all the actors are great in it.

I thought this said Dylan Moran, and promptly thought that his character in Black Books’s response to criticism is the more fun way to go.

She’s so great. Sadly her erudition and empathy will go flying over hardcore right wingers, but it’s still great to hear her speak the truth. I hate Trump, but Pence is worse. Trump is a narcissist who is easily manipulated. Pence uses religion as a battering ram to deny the people who don’t share his beliefs their…

Yup Lady Worsley was all over the press in the 1780's and while obviously there were no selfies, there were a lot of cartoons and the court report of the divorce turned into a best seller. Lady Worsley did get her own back by commissioning a poem telling her side of the story and that too became a best seller  http://b…

I cannot imagine her as a mother.  I mean I know that she is one, but she goes against everything that you are supposed to teach your kids.  She has zero empathy for others, whips up hatred for the oppressed and essentially is a mouthpiece for a misogynistic, racist moron. So much for telling kids to always tell the…

Well I suppose he is kind of an expert when it comes to assimilation. All elderly white men who spew this racist rhetoric are pretty much interchangeable - I can’t tell most of them apart.

Oh God, my lovely mum who is tolerant towards everyone voted in favor of Brexit. It’s something that we have agreed to not talk about because I was and still am”why???” also  now I keep having to bite my tongue to say “told you so”. I don’t think that even the Tories will make much inroad into screwing with the NHS…

I don’t get it either. This isn’t an innocent man with no history of abusing women (I’m leaving race out of the issue. It shouldn’t matter. If he was accused or victimized because be was black or for any other reason - religion, sexuality etc then hold the accusers accountable if the allegations are proven to be…

“border coyotes” because I am not up to date with American racist slang I thought Trump was talking about how maybe people were feeding actual coyotes at the border. This sounded confusing. Looking up what he actually meant is still ridiculous. Maybe talk about the people who were jailed for giving food and water to…

Exactly my first thought. $233 wtf? Prescriptions here in the UK are £8.80.  I pay with a medical card which means I pay just over ten pounds a month by direct debit and given that I have several health issues it would cost a fortune if I couldn’t afford to do that (I have no idea how much my MRI and blood tests must…

Apologies if I wasn’t clear with what I wrote- my bad. I meant that when the allegations about Singer first surfaced he wasn’t a very well known director and the film wasn’t a big blockbuster. Once he started to be hired for the big budget movies it was harder to escape the rumors. As for Malik, on the one hand I find…

“let’s be honest, didn’t hold much power in Hollywood when he was hired for this movie” except he did. When it comes to “Apt Pupil” then yes, he wasn’t an established film-maker, but as soon as he made the original X-Men films he held a lot of power in the movie making business and the allegations kept on coming. Yup…

Wouldn’t be opposed to that, there are plenty of people who ship the two. Cabot’s  re-appearance did come a bit out of nowhere though.

Yeah even here in the UK the tabloids have given up making up stuff about Kate and Meghan. Doubt they see each other often enough to have a feud even if they didn’t like each other and they seem pretty chill when they are together. I’m still baffled by the tabloid version of Jennifer Anniston’s life. It must be really…

They are pretty tolerant when it comes to rape too. https://mavenroundtable.io/theintellectualist/news/18-year-old-star-athlete-from-covington-catholic-high-school-accused-of-rape-gfDmxpVI0kaCxOaneOf7wQ/
