Quote of the Day

“If we’re to teach our sons to be feminists, if we’re to teach our sons equality, if we’re to understand what poisons the well in men and what creates toxic masculinity we need to look under the hood of characters like Phil Burbank to see what their struggle is and why that’s there in the first place. Because otherwise it will continue to repeat itself.”

-- Real happy that Benedict Cumberbatch gave us this quote today to share instead of me ever having to highlight actor Sam Elliott's bullshit comments about The Power of the Dog, which is what Benedict was responding to. Nicer to focus on helpful, thoughtful comments, instead of just further screaming into the wind. There's a little more from BC at the link. Good dude, that one.

Is it me or has there been a backlash to Power of the Dog? I loved the film so much but have noticed online commentary really turn against it.

It's just the usual despicable Awards Season sound and fury -- cut to a week after the Oscars and no matter what happens it will have all calmed down and TPOTD will ease into modern classic status properly
