Yeah, I kind of feel like there’s been a real effort NOT to look at women who are complicit. If we are to criticize Gabriel Byrne on one film, then why not Robin Wright? She has been on HoC for years, she didn’t see anything? Are you telling me she knew nothing...and now, she is THE lead of HoC. I’d also add Georgina…

Exactly. That is why I love Sade. She comes to slay, and it’s all for the audience. Also, to paraphrase- I think, maybe it was someone else...the great Barbara Mandrell, “you should never look like you just walked out of the audience. People come for a show, and you should give it to them.”
Oooh, yeah, I’m always surprised that this show is still on. I mean, I lurve Gina Torres, but never felt compelled to watch. She’s hilarious on a guest appearance of ‘Claws’ which EVERYONE should watch. That being said, there’s the cliche of ‘I don’t know anyone who watches NASCAR, but I would never not say it isn’t…
He was 22. I remember reading about that years ago, during Miami Vice. I don’t think Griffith saw their relationship as ever wrong or predatory or as some kind of sexual assault. They also got married, had a baby, got back together. Just because of the way their relationship developed, I would not put it in a 26 year…
Didn’t help Gwyneth Paltrow...also, it’s possible that she has been sexually harassed, just not at Pixar. Also, maybe Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton prepared her in the same way that Tippi Hedren prepared Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson. Misogynoir is real, and I’m sure it cut for Rashida Jones.
Kevin Spacey, George Takai, Gary Goddard...gay doesn’t not mean sexual predator. Sexual assault knows no race, class or gender. Remember that.
That cat is Vincent Cassel.
Okay. I’ve never read the books or seen the films...that being said, I kind of dig this. I reminds me A LOT of Old School Jackie Collins...when this shows up on Amazon streaming, Netflix or Hulu, will watch.
Weinstein’s children were in the next room when he sexually harassed Lupita N’yongo. Is there a difference?
Exactly. Weinstein’s children were in the next room when he sexually harassed Lupita N’yongo. I’m side eyeing anyone who tries to give Spacey a pass on being a predator.
I understand what you’re saying...but, I think in Parker’s case-as an average to kinda’ homely-looking [white] woman (which I hate saying), the slender/toned body was the great equalizer. See also,Christine Baranski, Linda Hamilton, etc.
I think if Jan, had said these things about another white woman, you would have a point. This is a racial issue. Plain and simple. Was it a little petty to make fun of Jan...probably. But, it is about a white woman, trying to police a Black woman’s body. There are nuances and differences, and if you can’t see…
I would also add for myself Clueless. I just felt like whether you were Black, white, Asian, gay, ghetto or bougie...it was a movie that I and anybody, could drop into and just have fun and belong.
I’m kind of eye rolling and shrugging all of this. I did early voting here in Atlanta, then I went for a run. That’s my political wokeness for the day. Donna Brazille was always...well, let’s put it this way. My main thought was I wonder who is going to option the book, OWN or HBO? Plus, my top three choices to play…
YMCAs and community rec centers, often have kid centric fitness and sports. Plus, I go to LA Fitness, and most, not all, have a Kid’s Corner (which is just daycare).
I have to kind of agree with you. Mary J. Blige was the major breadwinner and she employed him. Basically, his lively hood—and those of his children depended on her. Also, I don’t know how long they dated before marriage, but 13 years is a long time to be in those kids’ lives, so I’m going to assume some sort of…
You are completely right. I didn’t realize it until I watched a documentary about it last year. It really hit home that humans need to be fully informed before we make these judgments. I felt like I had been duped...until, I realized that I hadn’t made any effort to know more.
I think I love you.
I don’t think that you are being cynical, just realistic. They were together 13 years, 8 settlements, the fact that so many of the women in his films wore her clothes and she hadn’t actually done anything to court them, they just did because of his pressure. Plus, I would add the divorce. If I found out that my…
