So Clint Eastwood and Billy Ray did what Kathy Scruggs did to Richard Jewell. I can kind of empathize with that approach if any of what she did is/was true. The problem though is that she’s dead.

That joke I’d say…

I loved this movie as a kid as I was and still am both completely fascinated and terrified by tornadoes even though I live in an area that might get a handful a year and those that do hit are generally extremely weak. I’ve seen Twister multiple times. Today was the first time I noticed...(and I’m sure there are think-pieces on this already)
Why are there “bad guys” in this movie? Cary Elwes character’s…
