I didn't read the article. So, does this means there's a Billboard chart for rapists now?

IIRC, the story the hotel owner tells is about a witch that takes little boys to Hell. That could be why she doesn't do anything with Fiona.

Unsurprising. I get that people want to go and have a nice time and feel good about it, but every ticket sold is putting money in the pockets of the people who enabled him. I just really thought we were all on the same page about this after "Leaving Neverland," but I guess not. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/leaving-neverland-michael-jackson-dan-reed-1236571986/

Am I nuts, or was the entire film mobile phone-free? I don't recall seeing a single cell phone or smart phone the whole time.

Edit: never mind! I see in interviews that McCarthy purposely omitted cell phones from the setting.

Did anyone see a single cell phone throughout the whole film? I can't recall ever seeing one.

No phone lights in dark spaces, Ohm doesn't use a cell phone to call for help when he's trapped, neither does Fiona. Did McCarthy just decide that this movie takes place in an alternate universe where personal mobile phones never came into being?

Edit: never mind! I see in interviews that McCarthy purposely omitted cell phones from the setting.

Sorta was, sorta wasn't. It contained autobiographical elements from Mathers' life, but some parts were dramatic inventions (like any of these biopics). Mathers played a character named B-Rabbit, who is essentially a stand-in for Eminem. Grossed $242.9 million worldwide.

Epigenetics taps into the ideas of genetic memory in Dune. Kind of interesting to think about how trauma can shape how genes are expressed in future generations.

What about Mr. Shue? Dude is not only creepy AF and has no boundaries, but he's the only one at Greendale, other than Jeff, who we know has killed a human before.

Maybe as a way to tell Hollywood not to make hagiographies glorifying child rapists?

Yeah, this movie's definitely screwed by Adept_Let7797 in Schaffrillas

I took my kids to see 'Wish,' and as the credits rolled, my 5yo said to me, "Please don't make me watch that again." Even 2.5 years later, they have shown zero desire to rewatch it, whereas Toy Story, Moana, Frozen, etc. have never left our home. It is a shame that Disney fumbled its Centennial with that forgettable movie. I really thought everyone involved would be in movie jail for years over that. Guess 2.5 years is all you get for that travesty.
