[quote]THEY get to decide which questions they are willing to answer, and in how much detail.[/quote] That's sort of the point that I'm trying to make. If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. I quite frankly don't appreciate wanting to figure out something only to be responded to in a condescending and inherently judgmental manner. I rather not have people answer my question than having people give the false pretense of a response, and use it as a chance to insult my intelligence or talk down to me. Why then waste my time responding in the very first place when you could've simply kept silent? Not saying anything at all is essentially the same thing as straight up telling me that you're not going to formally answer the question. And it isn't like I was asking something deeply personal like how there sex life is like or have they ever done something illegal. Might I reiterate, that people on Quora chose to answer a question in the first place. [b]Christina Ricci gets restraining order against violent husband[/b] [quote][url]https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/christina-ricci-gets-restraining-order-against-voilent-husband.4318823/[/url] Christina Ricci says quarantine's been a dangerous time in her household, because her husband's allegedly beaten her multiple times, and now she fears for her life and their son's. The actress filed Wednesday to get a restraining order against James Heerdegen, who she claims started abusing her in December 2019. In her court filing, Christina claims he beat her, spit at her and made pig noises in her face. She says that incident, during which she suffered multiple bruises, convinced her she needed to leave him. Christina says she told James she wanted a divorce, but that was derailed when the COVID-19 quarantine began in March, and she "found herself trapped in a house with a violent abuser." In docs, she claims Heerdegen attacked her twice in June, while still in lockdown ... chasing her around the house, trying to prevent her from calling 911 after an argument. He allegedly dragged her by her wrists into their yard and threw her into a fire pit ... leaving her cut and bruised. During the second attack, she claims he spit on her and threw coffee and a chair at her -- all while their 6-year-old son was watching. Christina filed several photos with the court, showing injuries she claims to have suffered at Heerdegen's hands. According to those docs, obtained by TMZ, Christina also fears Heerdegen's abuse could turn deadly. During a car ride in late 2019, she claims James "said something that made me think that [he] could kill me. He said the only way he could feel sorry for me is if I were dismembered into small pieces."[/quote] [url]https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/20/christina-ricci-domestic-violence-restraining-order-husband-james-heerdegen/[/url] 2021 - Name a Black Trauma Movie that You’ve Only Watched Once and You’ll Never Watch Again [url]https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/name-a-black-trauma-movie-that-you%E2%80%99ve-only-watched-once-and-you%E2%80%99ll-never-watch-again.4302053/[/url] 2017 - What is the most disturbing movie you ever watched?

Poet Amanda Gorman stole the show at the inauguration [url]https://www.indiewire.com/2021/01/amanda-gorman-inauguration-speech-watch-poet-1234610408/[/url] The 22-year-old first-ever National Youth Poet Laureate's "beautifully crafted words were a showstopper," says Ben Travers. "That they didn’t, in fact, end the ceremony is a fact likely to be lost to time. Gorman’s poem, 'The Hill We Climb,' grabbed hold of viewers from the jump ('Mr. President, Doctor Biden…') and has yet to let go. That’s very much by design. Inaugural poets are not a requisite of the ceremony. Including Gorman, only six such wordsmiths have read during U.S. Presidential Inaugurations, and only four presidents have heard them. (President Obama and President Clinton had different poets at each of their ceremonies, while John F. Kennedy was the first to invite a poet, Robert Frost, to share words.)" Travers adds that "considering Biden’s accepted mandate to unify the country, (Gorman's) words were both appropriate and expected. Yet Gorman’s talent shown through in their combination, her elocution, and her well-timed build to a larger, more resilient message."

ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 01/19 **11**[/b] [url]https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2021/01/todays-blind-items-confessions.html[/url] Confessions: This former pro athlete/entertainer (Marty Jannetty) got into a spot of self caused trouble this past summer, by confessing to a crime. A serious crime. Later, he said he was joking. Then he gave an interview where he appeared to confess to it again and that everyone should be grateful he committed the crime. In the past, he confessed to wanting to have sex with the woman he raised as a daughter. He then said he had been hacked, but then later admitted he did want to have sex with her and indicated they had done everything but had sex up to that point. A person who knows this former athlete/entertainer says not only did they have sex, but there is at least one recording of it. This friend also says the confessed to crime did actually occur and it was someone that molested the athlete/entertainer and was related to him. [i]Marty Jannetty (WWE legend claims publicly confessing to brutal murder of a gay man was part of an elaborate wrestling storyline)[/i] I think that Tom Green was at the time, being painted as pretty much the Andy Kaufman of the new millennium. The difference is there was charm and subtlety with Kaufman's schtick. [url]https://www.onesnladay.com/2020/02/22/november-18-2000-tom-green-david-gray-s26-e6/#comment-9587[/url] Somebody wrote in the top link that I posted that the main problem with Tom Green was overexposure. He was pushed and pushed on people in this 2-year period, likely even more than he may have wanted. He was a niche comedian at a time that the industry was forcing niche comedians to try to appeal to a youth market.

Don't blame Javicia Leslie for Batwoman's disappointing viewership [url]https://www.themarysue.com/javicia-leslie-batwoman-ratings-stop/[/url] On Monday, The Wrap was criticized by some for comparing Leslie's debut with Ruby Rose's debut, with a since-deleted tweet saying that Leslie's debut "can't hold a candle to Ruby Rose's" and pointing out that Batwoman ratings plunged 80%. As Princess Weekes notes, "Batwoman’s first season had the new shiny allure of being a new show, but it was never a critical darling, getting slapped in the first season for bad acting and other things. So, to have the show go through the effort to actually hire an actress with range, and then putting all the pressure on that actress is a bit slimy, because Javicia Leslie is the one coming aboard a rocky ship." [url]https://www.everythingaction.com/2011/06/05/total-recall-sliders-state-of-the-art/[/url] [quote]This week’s Sliders features special guest Robert “Freddy Krueger” Englund and borrows ideas from the many “robots gone bad” sci fi stories, most notably Blade Runner and I, Robot. [url]https://crylikeaman.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/confidentially-i-adore-you-state-of-the-art/[/url] His robo-girlfriend Erica is certainly more convincing as a robot, in that Blade-Runner-sort-of-“I’m-a-robotic-adolescent-unable-to-control-my-urges” kind of chilling way. But when they’re paired together, the tone is wrong. They’re mashing up in a way that doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t read as “differing make of model” or some sort of fanwank-y kind of reasoning. It reads as one actor at least making an attempt at robotics and another either not even bothering because it’s too hard, or (and I’m guessing this is closer to what it really is) he’s being actively directed not to seem too Alien, so we (as an audience/key demographic) can fall in love with him easier. [url]http://www.lyratek.com/bg/slida033.htm[/url] Second, sci-fi has also done the "people turned into robots by the mad scientist" thing often, and there are a lot of parallels here to "The Black Hole" and "Doctor Who: Four to Doomsday". Though this story does it well, I think the chief conflict with the mad scientist was better in those other two stories. [url]https://earthprime.com/reviews/state-of-the-art-review[/url] The Sliders production staff includes Melinda Snodgrass, whom I mentioned in my review of The Dream Masters was the writer of one of the only early Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes worth watching — “The Measure of a Man.” And surprise surprise! It deals with the very issues that should be running amok in this episode. Instead of Arturo and Wade having a trite debate about what makes a person, they should be cramming scene after scene of it down my throat.[/quote] The plot to State of the ART you could say, is a mixture of Blade Runner, I, Robot, The Black Hole, the Doctor Who story Four to Doomsday, and the Star Trek: TNG episode The Measure of a Man: [url]https://www.everythingaction.com/2011/06/05/total-recall-sliders-state-of-the-art/[/url] [url]https://crylikeaman.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/confidentially-i-adore-you-state-of-the-art/[/url] [url]http://www.lyratek.com/bg/slida033.htm[/url] [url]https://earthprime.com/reviews/state-of-the-art-review[/url] It also bares similarities to the Star Trek: TOS episode What Are Little Girls Made Of: [url]http://slidersweb.net/blinker/hall/tid/trek.htm[/url] Ken Jennings proved this week he should be Alex Trebek's successor as Jeopardy! host [url]https://www.thedailybeast.com/ken-jennings-proved-he-should-be-the-next-jeopardy-host[/url] Jennings was "perfectly fine" as the first interim host of the post-Trebek era, says Kevin Fallon. "For those of us reeling and skeptical in the wake of Trebek’s absence, that’s a ringing endorsement. He basically is doing an approximation of Alex. He’s not yet as articulate, nimble or effortless. He’s starting to pepper in those Trebekisms, little asides and explanations for why things were wrong. But he’s still missing the ease. How can you be authoritative and wily at once? It’s why the word singular exists, and why it’s used to describe Alex. Jennings needs to be more present. He’s nervous! It’s understandable, and there’s a learning curve that should be allowed to get over that."
