Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

This happens every time someone says they have criticisms of something but don't say what

Commentary on the Israel/Gaza conflict literally makes me want to tear my fucking brain out. It is uniquely neurocognitively *painful.* Example: I have so many criticisms of the current Gov't of Israel. Yet everyone who goes on who is
"critical of Israel" just lies!

That was not the act of a child, it’s an insult to call it childish - it was triple distilled misogynistic behaviour.

boy it's a shame Ted Lasso turned into sentimental pap in its second season, because a show about somebody trying to be good while running a football club would be genuinely interesting.
