Dumb. probably scripted. it's made twitter worse today, somehow. Also, who the fuck cares what scientologists think or feel at this point? fuck em.

It definitely is.

The kids don't know who any of these people are. My wife worked briefly at the new restaurant at the Academy Museum. She had to explain to the employees who Halle Berry is, Spike Lee, others, when they came in to dine. These kids (the younger servers, hosts, bartenders, &c) have no idea who anyone over age 50 is.

All thespians, no matter who, are cunts. All of them

Crap.

I have a feeling Will Smith just made his life a little worse than it was.

I'm already being scolded by an FM on Fb for saying "if someone mocked my lady for her illness" because apparently I am part of toxic masculinity for referring to the woman I've spent 30 years with as "my lady." Like she's my property and I am a big grunting caveman. Mind you this chiding is coming from a dude in his 50s so it's not like all the scolds are woke millennials. Anyone can be dumb and boring at any age.

Meh. In less than 24 hours this controversy has grown stale, like yesterday's news five weeks ago.

Oscar nods appear to be boosting box office by pretty much the same as always, so it'll likely be a good while before it bleeds out. Which is a shame.

The spirit of L. Ron ignited his passion.

I didn't know who any of the old stalwarts were when I was a kid either. Merv Griffin was just a production company. I had no idea why I should give a fuck who George Kennedy was. June Allison was just some old broad in diapers.
