Bros is a way better movie than the RW&RB streamer - funnier, riskier, weirder. RW&RB Is mainstream RomCom trash - and don’t get me wrong, I enjoy RomCom trash, and I enjoyed RW&RB. But I’d never watch it a second time, while Bros, I would.
Sorry, failing grade. Political lesbianism has zero to do with "hating men." Patriarchy is systemic. Hating patriarchy is not aimed at men, as vast numbers of women participate in maintaining the evil and corrupt system of patriarchy.
As someone else said: “And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
I haven’t yet watched the Oprah special, but she would have done a great service if she mentioned Trump’s tape as a shining example of the celebrity dynamic. I’m doubtful that she did, though...
All true. The degree of detail in the testimony of Wade and Jimmy, often shocking, is also way beyond anything that could be fabricated for a false smear.
The diamond jewelry thing is also discussed. When Jimmy opens the jewelry box and puts a child-size ring on his finger, too small to go beyond the first knuckle, his voice cracks. A horrifying moment.

The Jacksons are going down. The two men’s graphic descriptions, made during separate and uncoordinated interviews, are nearly identical — which makes them even more believable.
“Leaving Neverland” is finally here, Part I on HBO tonight, Part II tomorrow night. (Both parts are streaming today.) It’s the testimonial story of James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who as children were sexually assaulted for years by superstar pedophile Michael Jackson.
I’m looking forward to seeing the documentary with a mix of eagerness and trepidation. It’s a very important moment for a hugely significant subject.

Ahh... those critics. They didn't like it when the Black man was the driver. Now, they hate it when the Black man is the passenger. Confused bunch, aren't they?
Uh, that’s not what the critics are saying.
The Academy changed its Best Picture voting system in the wake of the scandalous omission of “The Dark Knight” from a nomination a decade ago.
Now, a complicated “preferential ballot” is used, and it has changed the selection dynamic. It’s explained here:

If Spike could relax and stop being Spike, the incremental change you have noticed would not be happening, and “BlackkKlansman” would not be such a great movie.
