      Basically me. I cannot stand Elliots acting personally but like I like/dislike a lot of stuff no one else does so whatever. Always disliked him since the Juno days. But I dislike HIM.

      TERF haters are dumb as fuck. What’s the point of hating someone if you’re hating something you made up about them? Congratulations, you’re deluded. Might as well hate Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind because it had a cameo from Jeffrey Epstein, you lobotomized twatwaffle.

          My text wasn’t super clear but I was saying that people who make shit up about things and then hate it for that reason are silly. I then made up a ridiculous thing about a great movie. A movie I refuse to ever watch again but still.

              For real. Something that blew my mind though… years after the Spacey thing I finally saw the face of the person who made the accusations against him first.

              When I first heard the accusations I had no idea who the person was.

              But after watching Star Trek: Discovery for a couple years, I was floored to find out that Stamets was the one who called out Kevin Spacey. My favorite Trek character called out my former favorite actor and ruined his career.

                  You’re aight if you don’t click the disambiguation link

                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward

                  I think we can keep Pay It Forward, I don’t think I knew it was a film much less an abuser-starring film.

                  The concept is old, but the particular phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight. Robert Heinlein’s 1951 novel Between Planets helped popularize the phrase.

            Oh, I’m not the only one who can’t watch Eternal Sunshine again? Used to be one of my favorite films…

            Crazy how things can be tied so strongly to memories… Particularly when it’s a poignant piece of art that is far too relatable. Charlie Kaufman is a genius.

              Immediately after finishing it I knew I’d never watch it again. Same thing with We Need To Talk About Kevin or Dear Zachary. That last one is a documentary about where I’m from but still. Somethings you only need to see once. Anything more than that is pain. That’s how Eternal Sunshine came out for me. Beautiful in its tragedy but the beauty comes from the pain. I deal with my own stuff as is. Watching movies like that a second time causes me so much anxiety and grief.

                “The act of killing” plays that role for me. The most amazing movie I have ever watched, but I’ve just been able to watch it a handful of times. Haven’t gathered the courage to watch the follow up, “The look of silence” yet.

                I’ve watched it countless times… Like I said, used to be a favorite. Then my brain decided to attach it to the memory of someone that I miss dearly…

                  That’s fair. Sorry, my brain is misfiring a lot this morning on stuff I’m mis-reading. That was Weekend for me…

        I haven’t seen a lot of his movies, but I thought his acting in the first season of Umbrella Academy was really good. To each their own I guess.

      Reminds me of that post about two lesbians kissing on a subway in NY and this dude says, 'Man can’t yall keep that nasty shit at home?"

      And when we sees people are staring at him, he goes, “OH no I’m not homophobic, I’m just a hater.”

      I feel like he is getting a bad rap here. I mean, he had a gender change to convincingly play female characters in Juno, Inception, and Hard Candy, among others.

      Talk about a method actor, let’s see Christain Bale do that…
