I've seen my share of biopics where the actors aren't exactly entirely convincing as the real person they're portraying, but they do their best to come close (like Tom Hanks as Walt Disney or Fred Rogers), but after watching I, TONYA, man, Margot Robbie was so spot on as Tonya Harding in every way, it almost felt like Tonya herself dubbed her own voice over Margot's acting, because it was so flawless.

I loved Margot Robbie in The Wolf of Wall Street and Suicide Squad. Wolf was good and Suicide Squad was meh, but her acting was awesome in both.

Interesting to see this going around on Twitter right now, because this just happened to me:

A former friend/colleague of mine who unfriended and blocked me years ago decided to temporarily unblock me to tell me, among other things, that I'm racist against Italians because I insulted her Italian heritage, and I have absolutely no clue what she's even talking about, plus she never bothered to point out what I even said or did that she perceived to be me insulting her Italian heritage - and I can't even further inquire for clarification, because she immediately blocked me again right after DMing to tell me off.

So, obviously, her actions and behavior clearly indicates that she cared nothing for trying to preserve a friendship, so if that's the way she feels, then there's nothing I can do to try to make amends for something I may have said or did that she, evidently, found racist and offensive.
And I now ended up cutting ties with said same person without saying a goodbye. She went into another one of her repetitive rants about the EXACT. SAME. SUBJECT that I just got tired of having her in my life (we never talk anymore anyway). And looking back now, she was in no place to call out Snowth as she herself can be quite negative very often, not to mention can’t even take what she dishes out. If you criticize her or call her out then she’ll basically play the victim and go into a depressive mood for days or even weeks. It also feels like she doesn’t even bother doing a thing to help with her issues in life, muchso like a middle-aged man on this website with a horrible addiction to Sesame Street episodes.

In the end, I won’t miss her. She’s changed completely and for the worse

I envy this guy was able to get that last high note. :shifty:


Like I’ll admit, I have wanted to take some singing lessons if it meant being able to hold a long high note for 15 seconds. It is REALLY tough!

Sure, let’s let him free early just because we all knew him as the African-American dad we all loved in show biz! 🙃 🙄

Yep. Already people are predicting there will be some "reverse racism" backlash because his conviction has been overturned, but not Harvey Weinstein's.

If I’m not mistaken I think Harvey Weinstein is Republican while Bill Cosby is democratic. So once again he basically got a democrat pass. **** this flawed system.
