That’s kind of my feeling, but whatever everyone wants to do is 100% cool with me. Should I put up a poll?

Yeah, that’s pretty extreme, but I think it depends on the church. My mother has worked for churches since I was 10. Four separate churches (same denomination) and each really had their own personality. Some were really loosey-goosey and some were pretty conservative. And while none of those churches ever ran anyone out of town, some of the stricter ones will certainly let you know when you’re not wanted. So, run you out of town? Probably not. Run you out of the church? Yeah, I can definitely see that.

You know an actor is electrifying when you sit through an entire credit sequence just to watch them do nothing. We watched:

Great episode! Just a quick nitpick, at one point in the episode, Paul describes Dill as being “their rich friend,” but I’m pretty sure everything he was saying about his wealthy father was a way of hiding the fact that he didn’t have a father which I’m sure would have been absolutely scandalous at the time. I also didn’t think the judge’s feelings were all that ambiguous. I think it was pretty clear that he felt like Tom was innocent from the get go. That’s why he personally chose Atticus to defend him. He figured Atticus was the maybe the only lawyer in town who would put up an honest defense for Tom. He could have picked anyone, but he chose Atticus. So him storming out of the court wasn’t because he was swayed by Atticus’ defense and upset that he lost, so much as Atticus did exactly as he hoped he would from the beginning and it still wasn’t enough.

Isn’t that R. Kelley?

I’m ready...

No, it’s cool. I thought someone had said something but when I went back I couldn’t find the post. I must have glossed over it

Thank You!

I haven’t finished watching yet (sorry), but when the two kids are on the steps of the church at the beginning, and Lil Cuba asks her to marry him (or whatever) I was still like, “That little boy is far too old for that little girl.” It’s cute if they’re both 3. It’s weird when the boy is seven and the girl is still a toddler.

Btw - this is currently on Tubi. It’s free but has commercials

I totally understand. We will miss you and will be here whenever you are ready.

Honestly, I think the biggest problem in the world right now is everyone is on the defensive - all day everyday. And I’m not saying that it’s not for a good reason. In the last two years, the world’s just gotten angry. It’s to the point that even people that are ideologically the same end up getting angry at one another when we should be lifting each other up. I know I’ve certainly been guilty of it - more than once. That being said, I believe in the inherent goodness of this community. I’m not willing to give up on it yet. We are all good people here. I’m tired of the negativity in the world. I can’t change the world, but I can change my attitude. So that’s what I will keep trying to do.

Well, this sucks. It’s my birthday this weekend. Please stay.

I traveled a lot when I first moved here - small, medium, big towns. It’s all over Georgia. Now, to be fair, it could be a education/class thing. There are certainly MORE people with accents in podunk towns, but not enough to assume that everybody just has one. I imagine it’s like a New York City accent. Paul’s from New York and doesn’t have a New York accent. Jason Mantzoukas is from the Boston area and doesn’t have a Boston accent. I feel like the assumption is just stereotyping. Again, I haven’t listened to the episode so I don’t know the context, but if it’s just “lives in small Southern town, why doesn’t he sound like Foghorn Leghorn” then that’s ridiculous.

Now that's what I call Mutually Assured Destruction... We watched:

I haven't listened to the episode yet so I'm not sure of the context, but I will say that I moved to Georgia several years ago and I would say that 85% of the people I've encountered have little to no accent. In fact, off the top of my head, I can only think of one person who does. And while I'm sure there are plenty of exceptions, I feel like to have a southern accent is almost an affectation at this point.

Ha! I almost asked if we should all watch A League if Their Own to balance the scales, but I was afraid it would come off snarky and I really didn’t want that. But I agree, it really comes down the individual.

I was thinking about this earlier today, and I get this is a very specific example, but what about supporting the abused? In this case, not supporting Penn also means not supporting Madonna. Granted, I don’t think she really needs the residuals from people watching Shanghai Surprise, but should she be punished because he’s an ass? I guess I’m falling a bit on Paul’s side from the Unspooled episode. A lot of people worked on Chinatown, should they be punished because they unknowingly worked with a monster? Should we ignore the work of the other actors, cameramen, writers, sound editors, composers etc, because they worked with someone who turned out to be a piece of shit? It’s a tough nut to crack. It really is. And for me, it really comes down to when I first experienced their work. I think it also makes a difference if the person is in front or behind the camera. Since I’ve never seen them, I know I will never be able to watch American Beauty or The Usual Suspects. I don’t care how good they are. I won’t be able to get passed Kevin Spacey. I guess it really comes down to how people compartmentalize . And, like SyCasey alluded to, there are so many garbage people out there. I’m sure there are terrible people who work on every movie, show, song, whatever. Where do we draw the line? If Ringo’s drum technician is a serial killer, do we stop buying Beatles records? What’s different between that and being an actor-for-higher beyond visibility?

She’s like Elvis that way. She’s straight up iconic.

That’s fine with me

Very cool! I’m looking forward to it!

Yeah, you can pick! You weren’t actually scheduled for another month, so no worries

I just spoke to JammerLea and she's still in
