Funny I thought the same about Kalinda until she was run off.

He didn’t deserve to get lumped in with the metoo movement and I don’t think he did anything wrong.


Ha interesting. My unpopular opinion in 2015 was that he was gross and “off.” I was assured he was a friendly genius. I am happy to have called this. People are snowed so easily it’s pathetic.

100%. But I don't think this is an unpopular opinion to anyone who grew up around here and remembers it.

The upcoming movie based on”The Sopranos” called “The ManySaints of Newark” will be a huge disappointment to fans of the HBO series.

In the series, Tony Soprano was portrayed several times in flashbacks as a small child during the rioting in Newark. The upcoming movie (which happens to star James Gandolfini’s son) shows Tony Soprano as a 17-18 year old during the rioting in Newark. Non-canon garbage!

Jennifer Garner is not a good actress and has an annoying baby voice. I really don't understand how she's been so successful. She's pretty but there are lots of pretty women out there who I'm sure have more talent.

I am a woman. I really think Louis C.K. is funny. If he broke any laws, he should have charges filed and be tried in a court of law. He shouldn't be prosecuted in a court of public opinion.


Exactly. Instead he got thrown into the same category as Weinstein.

Sorry but jerking off on the phone while talking to someone who might not be interested (but doesn’t choose to hang up) is light years away from what Weinstein did.


He did more than that:

We've heard from several sources that this shameless funnyman whips [his penis] out at the most inopportune moments, often at times when his female companions have expressed no interest in watching him go at it. A representative example: At the Aspen Comedy Festival a few years ago, he invited a female comedy duo back to his hotel room. The two ladies gladly joined him, and offered him some weed. He turned it down, but asked if it would be OK if he took his dick out.

Thinking he was joking (that's exactly the kind of thing this guy would say), the women gave a facetious thumbs up. He wasn't joking. When he actually started jerking off in front of them, the ladies decided that wasn't their bag and made for the exit. But the comedian stood in front of the door, blocking their way with his body, until he was done.


Did these two women go the police and file assault charges or indecent exposure charges against him? Were they afraid of what it might do to their careers?

This he's-a-brilliant-philosopher schtick got slapped onto Woody Allen, too, coincidentally enough. Maybe watch it next time a funnyman tries to convince you he's actually telling you rare truths about how the world works.

Archie Bunker would never have breathed air today.


Agreed, although the cynic in me thinks that The Jeffersons would see the light of day today.


George Jefferson was portrayed as racist toward his son's father-in-law, who was white. That's not very PC. Didn't he call him a cr@&$er?


I'm the poster you're quoting. All in the Family and The Jeffersons are the same show, just with casts of different races. My comment still stands.

This I agree with. One of the best things about growing up in NoVa.
