Being a feminist doesn't mean you hate men, it means you can walk through walls & can never die

Now that I’m thinking about it, what are your guys’ must read “oh my god people wrote this?!” instructively cruel celeb profiles of the 2000s? I’d love to compile a list of TEACHABLE MOMENTS. To start: Lindsay Lohan as Rolling Stone IT GIRL 2004
“Canceled at 17” is a really irresponsible headline for a story about a boy who shared naked pictures of a girl without her consent and experienced consequences for it. Interrogate whether those consequences are just, sure. But stop fucking conflating “cancel” with CONSEQUENCE
My god the ENTIRE TIME Chadwick Boseman was working in the MCU he carried this with him. Worked through it. Red carpets through it. Interviews through it. I can’t imagine the weight of it in the public eye. What a god damn actor. What a man. This is too awful.
I know the kids are used to this stuff by now but I’m still just really amazed and happy about the fact that this can happen now and it’s… totally fine & normal. Just 2 girls who are gonna get married sharing a red carpet moment with each other. I’m emotional and it’s wonderful
I got “canceled” for posting a rude and snotty opinion about Mad Men that I still stand by! I got harangued for days here! If you show off private photos of a naked person who is not you without their permission and people come down on you, that’s a CONSEQUENCE for misconduct!
Pretty much a great way to avoid being ostracized for being creepy with girls is to not be fucking creepy with girls. Admins have never done much to so much to solve the problem of girls being collectively condemned as “slutty” in school so maybe they should give a shit generally
I bet if those girls felt like THE SCHOOL would actually protect them from boys harassing, harming, taking advantage of them, and so on then they wouldn’t have needed to self police about boys that have been problems for them.
Knowing how quickly Ari and her team pulled together the ENTIRE Manchester benefit stadium show in the wake a tragedy *does* make it hard for me to believe she backed out on the Grammys because it was “too late” for her to “pull something together.” Like, come on. Are we new?
Investigative reports have been in the works about Justin Roiland for years, stemming from alleged abuse. I’m glad something has finally been able to break through about a man who has been rich enough to evade accountability for A LONG time
The most repeatedly disarming thing about the Trump era is how it’s exposed that laws basically are not even prosecutable if you’re in the right position. I’m not even talking about high priced lawyers clearing your slate. I mean LAWS JUST NOT BEING ENFORCED AGAINST YOU AT ALL.
If you’re chasing a Hollywood dream and feel doubtful you’ll ever make it, remember there are executives getting paid shit loads of money to suggest JULIA ROBERTS should play Harriet Tubman. A jar of cockroaches is more qualified than some of these people so DON’T GIVE UP.
Shia LaBeouf has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual battery and he publicly said “I hurt that woman” so he’s out here totally confirming it. This is EASY work just don’t cast him in your fucking projects. He’s not even denying it so you don’t have to wonder!
As a global media company, Condé Nast is dedicated to creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination and harassment in any forms. (1/2)
To be VERY CLEAR HERE: what Jason Lei Howden was doing targeting and tagging black women on here for abuse - via his own account and the account for his new film Guns Akimbo - by BLATANTLY LYING ABOUT THEM is unhinged, inappropriate, and an obvious act of aggressive bullying.
A white director weaponizing his followers and knowingly falsely accusing two women of color of something they didn't do. This SHOULD be a bigger story.
I made a guide for Vulture about movies you can watch after RRR if you love things like bro friendship romances and BIG ACTION and crazy things happening with animals and Ram Charan being hot!!!
Good afternoon only to Megan Fox saying “Watch Jennifer’s Body, you fuckfaces!” (And also Karyn Kusama. Always good afternoon to Karyn Kusama.)
My conversation with the star and director of JENNIFER’S BODY is live!
It’s my birthday and I’m here to say never cast Ansel Elgort in anything ever again. There are plenty of talentless hairless rich boys who don’t entice teenage girls and also allegedly assault them to play the wooden post in your next YA movie. Horrifying.
A very odd feeling having it be apparently IMPOSSIBLE to get a job. To have 20 years behind me of working for great companies and putting out very good work and being accomplished in my fields and have a solid amount of connections and to have… absolutely no response to that
WEST SIDE STORY is now on Disney+ and I know that one fucking douche is in it, but everyone else is doing such incredible work and it’s utterly GORGEOUS. ARIANA DEBOSE FOR THE OSCAR!
The way I cannot fully relay to you all how INCANDESCENT WITH RAGE I AM at some guy mansplaining JENNIFER’S BODY to me — *ME SPECIFICALLY* — and saying I need to “check” myself because he failed to understand a post! OHHHHHH WOW!
It looks like today is the day phone calls are being made. I’ve officially been LAID OFF from Vulture. I did great work I’m SO PROUD OF & I especially loved being the front line defender of so many wonderful, important horror movies during my time. I’m gonna go make moves now 😁
Before RRR started I looked at my friend and said “There better be a 6-minute musical interlude about the power of male friendship” and you guys it’s AT LEAST that long 😁 Indian action bromances deliver!!!
RRR is an astonishing movie. 3 hours, every second gripping, every scene at 11. There’s a tiger fight, a bigger brawl than the Raid 2 prison fight, and a wild rescue sequence involving a motorcycle, a bridge and a horse - AND THESE SCENES ALL HAPPEN BEFORE THE TITLE SCREEN

The rush to streaming in Hollywood feels eerily similar to journalism’s PIVOT TO VIDEO where a broken industry desperate for a silver bullet answer to a digital world where everyone wants things free and instantly lead to an actually ruinous paradigm shift that made things worse.
THE NORTHMAN fucking rocks, you guys. Naked battles. Intestines spilling out. Weird ass mysticism that looks what I assume drugs feel like? Skarsgård going FULL animal. Claes Bang being a hot usurpers. Mud. Blood. Björk being spooky. Firelight and some HAYMAKER fight scenes. RAD
A crucial addendum to the news of domestic violence charges against Justin Roiland: this incident allegedly occurred in 2020. I know journalists who have pursued stories about him since YEARS before that. There are more women. There are more stories. I hope they’re ok
Investigative reports have been in the works about Justin Roiland for years, stemming from alleged abuse. I’m glad something has finally been able to break through about a man who has been rich enough to evade accountability for A LONG time
I am friends with women (veteran writers) in the industry fighting to run the show THEY CREATED instead of having executives slot a more “experienced” dude above them, and this utterly inexperienced guy got Dave on the air because he “loved TV.”
HALLOWEEN ENDS really reaffirms what an awful waste of time HALLOWEEN KILLS truly was since, besides that 1 significant (and fucking egregious) character death, absolutely none of it matters! It’s irrelevant! You could go straight from the 2018 movie to this one! KILLS IS A VOID
Or ANYTHING about Easy A.
The "Pocket Full of Sunshine" montage.
Stanley Tucci’s stellar performance.
Patricia Clarkson’s stellar performance.
Amanda Bynes' stellar performance.
The fact that it’s the 2nd or 3rd best work of Emma Stone’s whole VERY GOOD career.
The beginning of SCREAM is one of the best horror movies of all time
And also any best list that doesn’t put SCREAM in the top 10 at minimum is a bullshit list.
Every RRR account should click through this article about movies to watch if love RRR and mega babe Ram Charan to see if we can make it the top story on Vulture. Come on team let’s go I wanna see what happens!
Is there a P.O. Box where women can just send notes to Meghan Markle? Being like “Have a really nice day, Meghan!” and “WHO DO I NEED TO FIGHT TODAY, MEGHAN?” Like, just so she knows? She lives in THE tightest bubble and I just want her to know we’re out here!!!
In case you find yourself talking about Megan Fox and Jennifer’s Body today - and you could find a reason to EVERY day - her and Karyn both reflected on the film for its 10-year anniverary and they were simply TREMENDOUS. And yes, Megan talks about Bay.
Michelle Trachtenberg has added her voice addressing the “not appropriate” behavior of Joss Whedon and remember that she was *15 years old* when she debuted on that show.
Craig was the best late night host of the past 30 years and no those really REALLY famous ones just can’t measure up either. Watch his old Carrie Fisher interviews!! THE. BEST.
You could say this is surprising about Taylor if you haven’t noticed where her charitable donations have gone the past few years and how she carried herself during her assault trial or really attended any live shows but yeah okay go ahead and call this “the upside down”!
An entertainment industrial complex about actual murders and stuff that’s exploded with amateur detectives who have no fact checking infrastructure or editorial checks and balances hierarchy — not good! Things should be scrutinized! It’s not all bad but SOME BACKLASH IS HEALTHY
Look bitches you don’t have to drag Tom Cruise JACK REACHER to compliment huge guy JACK REACHER. The Tom movies were FUN and the first is a legit great time.
A weird tweet went round today about BENEDETTA just being an outlet for what gets Verhoeven off and having watched the movie, it’s not even particularly kinky! And I’m pretty comfortable saying two women doing gay sex stuff isn’t some SPECIALTY fetish of his. It has broad appeal!
