Butter yes, any herbs you like, but milk makes mine watery and rubbery. Maybe a splash of water to thin them out if I want an omelette, but none if I'm making scrambled.

Worth including the percentage of the entire world population, as well. People might mistakenly assume that, because the US is a big world leader with lots of people, maybe 25% of all people live in the USA, or maybe it's like 21% and we are just slightly overrepresented in prison population. aybr it's 17%, or even 12% would make that number seem less shocking.

But it's 4.2%. We have six times more ~~slaves~~prisoners with jobs per person than the rest of the world.

Yes, obviously.

How about the death threats she was responsible for via the Family America Project? Or when she wrote fake news stories about conspiracy theories with evidence she fabricated?

I'm not happy the face eating leopards are powerful enough to ruin her life, but I'm not going to go out of my way to protect her from the monsters she helped create.

Agree 100%. It's naked hypocrisy.

So is Matthew Lillard. The whole thing feels oddly personal. Like if he had said "I didn't like Dano in There Will Be Blood" you could understand that's just a professional opinion. Maybe he thought someone else could have done better. But making it insulting undercuts his credibility as an impartial critic.

On the one hand, yeah maybe he was operating as a propaganda agent for Iran. But they deleted his whole account, his email, his drive contents, and every video he uploaded. His life's work nuked from orbit.

You can't swing a dead cat on YouTube without hitting 1200 different propaganda agents working for various political wings. When was the last time Google obliterated a joirnalist from Newsmax or Xinhua?

Criticism is fine, when you're talking about someone's work and how to improve it. Calling someone "weak" and "the worst actor in the SAG" is deeply personal and insulting.

Revealing a personal bias in a professional setting belies unprofessional attitudes and prejudices. Tarantino isn't a critic, he's a filmmaker and an influential voice in the industry. Taking pot shots at a couple of B-list character actors is hurtful on a personal level, and wantonly destructive on a professional level. The power dynamic between producers and actors is massively unbalanced. It would be like the CEO where you work talking shit on LinkedIn about project managers at a rival company. If he's saying this publicly, what is he saying behind the scenes? Is he trashing actors to casting directors to influence their careers?

He has every right to say "I don't want these people in my movies." It would also be professional to say "I did not like this specific performance for these specific reasons." It's extremely unprofessional to say "I hate these people because of who they are and anyone working with them is on my shit-list."

He also took some totally unnecessary shots at Paul Dano, saying he was the worst actor in the SAG. That's a bizarrely personal attack out of nowhere on a guy you never worked with.
