This is the scariest thing I've ever seen.

Funny, I think it's beautiful! The gold tones and such. Incredible depiction.

I hope this was a joke...

The backlash I saw was also about him pointing out she "gave" him a healthy daughter. His older child with Anna Farris is a child with disabilities.

Ah. I wondered about that. thanks.

The rest of it is ghastly though.

I don't think it was as serious as some people seem to be taking it - it seems very much tongue in check which is how Chris Pratt comes off in interviews and stuff - though I was not aware of the situation with his first child.

My slow descent into becoming a fossil continues. What I find toxic is labeling everything toxic.

If he hadn't thrown in the line about his new wife giving him a healthy child I would've taken the comment as sarcasm too. That is where he went over the line and why he is paying the price for making such a toxic statement.

Tongue in cheek? Very few have taken most of his recent schtick that way. And if he means it that way, he sure hasn't been cluing many in on the joke. Him and his Christian music playlist while running alone in the woods to improve his mood seems quite intentional. He's not Andy Dwyer (or my personal favorite, Bright Abbott) and the sooner people stop believing that to be the case, the quicker they'll see him for who he's repeatedly showed himself to be in recent years.

I have to admit that I have no idea what your talking about so there's clearly quite a few things that I've missed.

I can't help but wonder why people care so much about what 'famous people' say and/or do.
I have no idea who any person mentioned in this 'drama' is - and I'm quite convinced that I'm better off this way.
My life - and the characters within it - is interesting enough. I have neither the need nor the desire to wrap myself up in the lives of 'famous people' I have absolutely no contact with nor any relation to.

Just came into my mind that it will feel very strange to speak in front of an audience (not Zoom) again someday. It's been almost two years since the last time for me...

I would have far more anxiety sitting in an audience. :freaking: :freaking: :freaking:
