Thanks strawman. Who said that?

Yeah. Also in regards to clothes, Gamora and Nebula got actual pants and I suppose what would be considered sensible wear.

But you can have a violent, over-the-top action movie with a cast of sadistic characters where the narrative isn’t sexist (female characters are written as fully-rounded characters, the evilness isn’t predicated on sexist tropes), and where the plot is engaging and the jokes are funny? Nothing about “violent criminals…

To be entirely fair, the trailers were clearly trying to make it look like this would be their Guardians of the Galaxy, so my guess is people expected a lot more comedy. Dark comedy, maybe, but comedy.

just because she’s doing her job doesn’t mean that she’s 1.) not a horrible person and 2.) defending a rapist and 3.) deserving of our outrage

I usually reserve this for the most grotesque of individuals, but she merits it: fuck off and die

Christine Lepera, you are trash.

I hardly know who Niall is (yes I’m an Old) but geez, give the boy some peace. To take sneaky pictures when someone is sleeping (who has explicitly said that he didn’t want to take pictures because he was sick) and to post them on social media - how sick are you. Sick in the old sense. As in not cool. Ugh people.

So, a fan has a nice long chat with a friendly international pop star, wants a selfie and the pop star declines because he’s sick, so the fan waits until he’s asleep and then takes a picture and posts it on social media with a gushing commentary? Wow. That is a really shitty thing to do. #thedownsideoffame

Man, my mom has started doing this (luckily I don’t have children) and the things she complains about seriously make me wonder how I survived childhood. Example, re: my cousin, whose child went through a period of digestive problems so severe the doctors started to test for things like leukemia:

my mom yelled at me for even considering Pokemon Go... because it’s the same as using heroin.

God, ‘martyr’ is the right word. It all starts when you’re pregnant, and you find out about the ‘Better Safe Than Sorry’ women who sit at home on a stool in their closet lest they put their precious zygote in some type of danger.

this is my mother, whom we currently live with. What I make is never good enough, he never eats enough, he doesn’t sleep enough, I yell too much but also don’t discipline him, I need to be more patient, but more strict, etc etc. just hoop after hoop after hoop....

To “how she did it” she could just answer that she sets the rules/bedtime for her children.

Ewww I hate mommy-policing. My mom is the ultimate mommy-police. My sister will send out photos of the kids eating dinner in a group text and my mom will respond back with “ZOMG! The plate looks too hot, they will get 3rd degree burns. You should know better than to feed them hot food!”

No, she was doing her job the way other critics do their job which is why they have special screenings for the press.

As a person who doesn’t have a child yet, I agree with you. Moms now loooove to play the martyr role when it comes to being a mom. At the same time, I can see why maybe some people would want this type of movie to be made, if it was made to truly make fun of those uptight mom types who take it way too seriously? My…

This sounds like a coverup to me. I assume what actually happened is that she unhinged her jaw, stretched her mouth open to the size of a manhole cover, and then seized these staffers with her tentacles, shoving their bodies whole into her gaping maw, later regurgitating their bones and clothes in compact pellets.

Ugh I feel bad for Britney on this one. It reads as funny/shady but like, how many people do you think she’s taken pics with in her life? How many people are like ‘OMG BRITNEY’ and she’s supposed to remember every single one? I mean, lol because Taylor is mega-famous now but I’m willing to give Britney a pass on not…

I’m so sorry that you went through this. This guy is a liar, and even if he did contact you, do you really think he’d tell you the truth? He’s been lying to his wife since before they were married; lying is this guy’s way of life. Don’t look to this guy for closure, you’re going to have to move on because he’s made it…
