Kate McKinnon + ‘Bombshell’

[authorette44]

Erm ok but who gave Bombshell permission to make me ship Republican Margot Robbie with queen of lesbians Kate McKinnon?!?!

Natalie jumping up on a bar counter and rousing the patrons into renditions of Canadian sea shanties while she claps to keep rhythm and dances like she's still a big bitch and continuing to do so as she gains the weight back is all that sustains me RN

Also bitch all you want about my extensive amount of lore but verbal compulses automatically get more powerful when they're singing rather than just talking

I literally made the rules but you know what? Who doesn't want hot feedee chicks singing and dancing on tables and also full-on hypnotizing everyone in the room

Back before the MeToo movement really kicked in, Roger Ailes of Fox News Network left after more than two dozen women came forward about his harassment. This movie shows the buildup from the points of views of Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly, along with the composite character played by Margot Robbie who represents the other women who’ve survived sexual harassment by employers. This movie offers a fly on the wall view of how the network is run and how this abuse went on for years before someone stepped up. The makeup was very well done, with several actors disappearing into their roles (John Lithgow as Ailes and Richard Kind as Rudy Giuliani stick out). I’m happy that the movie itself wasn’t politically leaning really anywhere, the characters work for the most Republican news network there is and it shows how even the anchors are sometimes thrown under the bus by saying something their far right audience didn’t agree with, such as when Trump blasted Kelly in Twitter because she asked him a difficult question, which they show real tweets and news footage covering that as well as other major events during the time period.

This is basically a lot to say that I really enjoyed the movie, it offered some interesting perspective on what it later like working for Fox, and how these women went through hell in the workplace.
