Also buried within: Sean Penn is making a documentary on the invasion
wtf. The same organization that booed an indigenous woman for speaking up about indigenous rights and Michael Moore for being anti-war? Guess it's fitting.
booed an indigenous woman for speaking up about indigenous rights
Her speech was based, tho. And points to Brando for helping her get up there.

I guess the context is that Brando was angry about the treatment of Native Americans in Hollywood, and the Wounded Knee standoff was happening at the time, so Brando and Littlefeather put this together to get a message out about what was happening in a place where they knew it would make waves.
It really was, and John Wayne apparently had an urge to hit her.

Penn used to be good, I think his parents were commies or fellow travelers. He was a supporter of Chavez. Celebrity culture sucks.
Penn sued some other Hollywood dude for mentioning it in an interview and apparently Madonna went to bat for Penn in court and said he never hit her, and that the incidents that made it in to the press didn't occur. So, if you believe Madonna, Penn never struck her or tied her up. Which isn't to say that the guy isn't a raging asshole for other reasons.
When he and Madonna were married in the 80s, he was physically abusive and once put her in the hospital by hitting her with a bat. He’s a performative piece of shit.May not be true. See below.There was a court case back in 2015 where Penn sued a guy for bringing this up, and Madonna said in court that Penn never hit her.
The most important thing is to find a guy that uses power tools while wearing sandals. Everything in sandals.
Also this is a fancy version of some very traditional home construction techniques in northern China. You can probably find quite a few contractors like that... in China.
When I did landscaping I was forever telling younger crew members to take safety seriously to protect themselves and here's this guy chipping away at a mountain without steel toes. throws hands up in defeat
i knew what video that was gonna be before I clicked. That's a classic right there
Remember when Sean Penn did a really fucking cringe performance of a mentally handicapped person? Cumtown remembers.
I remember reading that he nearly beat Madonna to death with a baseball bat when they were in a relationship
Apparently he sued some guy for referencing that incident in an interview. During the court proceedings Madonna said under oath that the incident never occurred and was made up. Penn did get arrested for a bunch of other shit, but according to Madonna herself he never hit her. I know this because I just looked it up because I always thought of Penn as that guy who hits women.
He interviewed him and the Mexican authorities claim this eventually led to his arrest.
Yes bring him here and then have some major chemical attack or something happen over there. Keep your asset safe.
Imagine being in the middle of fighting or surviving in a war zone and you find out your leader is chilling at the Oscars.
Her dad is apparently Chuck's second cousin, meaning her dad and Chuck are of the same generation and share at least one great-grandparent (i.e. their grandparents are at least half-siblings). That makes her Chuck's second cousin once removed, since there's a one generation difference between the two. It's easier to understand if you look at a diagram (labeled version if that's helpful)
Schumer is actually one of three hosts, sharing the stage with Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. She's also staring in a Hulu show she created called Life & Beth so she's not doing nothing. This isn't a defense of her hosting, but hosting the oscars isn't exactly a primo spot in recent years. It's kind of like the super bowl halftime show, which variably stars people previously famous trying to get back into the public eye.
I wish I was a reporter who could ask libs questions at the awards. For example...
"Mr. Penn, what do you think about President Biden causing mass death in Ukraine."
"That's nonsense. President Biden is not causing mass death in Ukraine. He's—"
"I'm consulting my notes. I'm so sorry! I meant to ask - what do you think about President Biden causing mass death in Afghanistan?"
