how is anyone blaming this on aphasia? this was 12 or 13 years ago and aphasia is the speech centers of the brain, not fucking behavioral. If you were a dick, you were a dick. If you said Frog instead of Fuck while being a dick on set, that might have been aphasia but fuck’s sake. This entire comment thread is talking…

This idea that people feel the need to apologize for bad reviews of his movies or criticism of bad behavior because we found out 12 years later that he got aphasia at some point in his life is silly and pointless. It’s not like it was public knowledge, or out in plain sight. People reacted based on the information…

Tare Unbreakable off!? That's crazy talk, it's a great movie. Probably M. Nights best.

Yeah. While I’m sympathetic to people with cosmetic conditions, I truly am. It can’t be easy, but it’s not like she has a physical disability that limits what she can do. Ask Liza how hard it is to show up when you’re truly disabled.

“ableist”? Maybe I’m misunderstanding the term, but is ableist the right description of the joke? Is it because he’s able to grow hair and she isn’t? I don’t know that the word is fitting here given how it is generally used in connection with those with mental or physical disabilities. I’m not sure alopecia counts as…

My take fwiw (not a lot): he initially started the same awkward chuckle actors always do when the host takes the piss out of them. Tried to laugh it off. But Jada was not and will lost it, in part because it was his wife and she was clearly hurt 

Well, at least we know where your mind goes when you read about a successful black woman.

I don’t care if John C. Reilly’s character in GotG was neither of these people you mentioned, they should cast him in the lead.

His overall critique of Orientalism in film in general and WW84 in particular is totally valid. The film industry has done a piss poor job of changing its conception of this part of the world and of telling stories that depict it accurately. This quote, however, isn’t terribly convincing as a main prong of his…

Doctor Who is the name of the show, not the person, but you know what we mean

Everyone was so pumped that SLJ was going to be in Star Wars. Like there was no way it could suck if he were bringing his natural level of badassery into it.

Trafficking.

I’ve got the first track running right now and there’s a huge Hold Steady vibe to it, which is just fine with me.

In my opinion, yes, a game absolutely has to be fun to be good. Other people may disagree. And that’s fine!

Bill Skarsgard. Maybe the family will do a “Buy one, get one free” offer.

Catwoman has been canonically bisexual in the comics for seven years. Your hypotheticals have not yet come to pass. But nice concern-trolling over an issue you know nothing about! https://www.theverge.com/2015/2/27/8123489/catwoman-bisexual-dc-comics-lgbtq

“Can I have an ORDINARY household task? One that you’d PROBABLY want to PUT OFF?”

We had to assume it wasn’t a metal album since this site never covers those.

I think we’re still in a societal backlash period from 1,000 years of stories of noble Christian warriors triumphing over hordes of bloodthirsty pagan savages (and some people still aren’t on board). It might just be culturally necessary to get a few of the inverse on the books before we can have a more nuanced…

Please tell me they licensed this for the theme song.
