100% on the Steven crowder thing. He’s always been one of the most vile and worst people on the planet but watching his video about his divorce is chilling. He is absolutely unhinged and he is the face of what rad “Christian” men want and believe. They want their wives to be chattel again and with the fall of roe it is just the beginning of the steady march of rights being chipped away and no one seems to understand how far they want to go. Also peek the video of him and his pro life buddies making fun of Mattel coming out with a Barbie with Down syndrome and using the r word hard r.
The video that’s just come out on twitter of him emotionally abusing his pregnant wife is vile.
Stephen Crowder was never really on my radar until I saw commentary on his feud with The Daily Wire over the contract they offered him. Then I saw clips of his announcement of his divorce and his assertion that Candace Owens “extorted him” – and heard his disgusting idea that his wife shouldn’t be able to leave him and be granted a “no-fault” divorce. Major red flags went up for me. THEN I saw that ring video that surfaced yesterday of his misogynistic, gaslighting, and disgusting emotional abuse toward his wife!! NO WONDER she left his ass, and kudos to her for having the strength to do so! He was sitting there smoking a cigar right near his 8-month-pregnant wife, telling her she wasn’t doing her wifely duties and couldn’t take their car. What a vile POS!
That video made me sick and I felt really weird watching it but I’m honestly not surprised since he is so unhinged and his statement on the divorce makes a lot more sense now too with the “there was no abuse on either side” line he put in it. Im also really glad he’s been exposed fully this way now.
Also, I wanted to correct my first comment about the incorrect use of the hard r, I was switching back and forth commenting on different sites and had two thoughts in my head at once. He said the r word, not the n word but he also made an extremely racist comment about what Barbie they might come out with next right after he said the r word so.
How long till our bank cards suddenly stop working?
ah man, I’m past childbearing age, I’m gonna get sent to the Colonies!
So I saw the trailer for the little mermaid over the weekend when I took my kids to see the Mario movie and yeah, the parts with her underwater looked like bad cgi and I was pretty disappointed. She’s gorgeous though and her voice actually sounds a lot like the original and I liked her singing. I’m still going to see it of course but, idk.
I wish Disney stopped with the live action, they haven’t managed to get the balance right somehow between realism and the things you have to suspend your disbelief for. If they want to remake stuff just go the computer animation route.
I’ve not listened to Red Table Talk.
But, I think every body and their dog has got a podcast or chat show going.
Jada has a TMI problem.
Ashton and Mila too.
Or, a better point, why do C-list celebs like Kristen Bell and that obnoxious Hubby of hers, whose name I can’t think of bc he is so boring, keep getting work?
No loss to cancel all of them.
Erin, I saw the trailer on my computer, not on the big screen, but it looked really good to me and I’m fully prepared to take my daughter to see it with me. In fact, it looked amazing!
Well hopefully it isn’t weird looking in all of the underwater scenes but I’m still looking forward to it.
Jada Pinkett is an incredibly beautiful woman.
She is beautiful.
I will miss Red Table Talk. I hope she finds another more accessible platform.
For all of Jada and willows cringe, that show helped a lot of people. Maybe you didnt have the exact same situation but looking at it from a different angle is a help. The show couldn’t have cost that much. They probably just ran out of stories and situations.
A lot of people didn’t know that Jada show was a facebook/meta show. When Gloria Estefan did her show, there was copying claiming. Cause people didn’t realize it’s its own thing. Doesn’t help that I think Jada was a producer on hers.
If I read the article right. The whole part of facebook its on is going away. Not just Red Table talk.
I haven’t seen all of the Disney “Live action” remakes, but I think the concept of realistic looking CGI creations works better, or maybe only, if they’re not made to sing. In “Cinderella,” the mice hung out, but didn’t have dialogue. They can’t mute Sebastian in “Little Mermaid,” because he sings two of songs and is the subject of another, but his character poster is not inspiring much confidence.
(However, it makes more sense for the animals in this to look accurate than deciding the ENCHANTED decor in “Beauty and the Beast” had to look as lifeless as actual furniture.)
That Shailene Woodley trailer looks funny. A bit wtf at first…
The only live action Disney remake I’ve seen was Aladdin and I thought it was pretty good. I’m sure this one will be successful too. I read that the critics hated the Super Mario movie and it’s made a ton of money so as long as kids like it, Little Mermaid should too.
