Question: What Is Hacksaw Ridge?

Is Hacksaw Ridge a film? A state of mind? An ouch-y place to visit? These are all questions we could go a lifetime without answering, but because it has been nominated for six Oscars — including Best Picture and Best Director for Mel Gibson — MTV News attempts to answer what, exactly, Hacksaw Ridge is….

Magic Together: A Q&A With The Director Of Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher And Debbie Reynolds

When they began following Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds with a camera back in April 2014, documentarians and real-life partners Fisher Stevens and Alexis Bloom had no way of knowing that they’d be capturing the last years of both women’s lives. At the time, the project had a single mission, pioneered by Fisher herself: To… Read more »

Amy Schumer Set to Star in Barbie Movie, Haters Unite

There are plenty of people who don’t care for Amy Schumer, and that’s fine. Maybe she’s not your cup of tea. Maybe you don’t like her sense of humor, or maybe you think she’s been too offensive at times. All that’s fine. This is your life, make your own choices. But if you don’t like her because of the way she looks , or if you’ve expressed your negative feelings about her by making fun of her body ? Well, you’re probably just an asshole. And unfortunately, judging by the reaction to this new piece of Schumer news, the world is just filled to the brim, absolutely overflowing, with assholes Amy is reportedly in talks to star in a new live-action movie about Barbie. The movie is supposed to have a PG rating, so it wouldn’t have any of Amy’s usual raunchiness , but she is said to be doing a rewrite of the current script. As for the basic plot, it will be acknowledged that Amy doesn’t have the classic unrealistic Barbie proportions. Remember, Mattel recently released Barbies that come in more varied, more realistic body types? Yeah, you can now buy Curvy Barbies, Petite Barbies, and Tall Barbies. The movie will play on that. Amy’s Barbie character lives in Barbieland, where all the different Barbies live. You know, Dentist Barbie, Babysitter Barbie, Dog Walker Barbie, Gymnastics Barbie … But her version of Barbie will get banished from Barbieland because she doesn’t quite fit the perfect Barbie mold. She is forced out into the real world, she learns about herself, etc. Sounds cute, right? But so many people are furious about this casting. “I just saw that Amy Schumer will play Barbie in an upcoming movie,” one jackass tweeted. “Now they should get Jonah Hill for Ken and I’ll be there on opening day.” “So Amy Schumer’s gonna play a FAT Barbie with a gut and two chins and a pie fetish,” another wrote. Yet another douchebag tweeted “More fat f-cks making the news. Amy Schumer as Barbie? The mental illness in Hollywood is mind-boggling.” But as disappointing as those reactions were, there were still some decent people in the world who hated this news for less superficial reasons. “Dear Hollywood,” one person asked, “please stop shoving Amy Schumer at us. Sincerely, everyone on planet earth.” “There are plenty of women of many sizes who aren’t racist ,” another commented. “They should consider them before Amy.” “Donald Trump as POTUS. Amy Schumer as Barbie. Tyga as still alive … Smg 2016… what else?” read one admittedly hilarious tweet. For what it’s worth, we’re kind of excited to see what Amy does with this. How are y’all feeling? View Slideshow: 16 Reasons Why We Adore Amy Schumer

Last Tango in Paris Director Admits to Conspiring to Film Actual Rape

A newly-surfaced interview with Bernardo Bertolucci has revealed a horrifying confession. According to the director, he and Marlo Brando conspired in 1972 to shoot a scene in the film Last Tango in Paris that depicted the actor actually raping co-star Maria Schneider with a stick of butter. Brando was 48 at the time of the movie and Schneider was 19, with the later saying herself back in 2007 that the famous scene was actually a sexual violation. “I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci,” she wrote in an essay for The Daily Mail. “After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or [apologize]. Thankfully, there was just one take.” Schneider passed away in 2011. Meanwhile, in a Q&A filmed at La Cinémathèque française in Paris, Bertolucci confessed three years ago that he and Brando came up with the idea to use a stick of butter to rape Schneider on camera the morning of the shoot. Excerpts from this interview only just came to light this week. “The sequence of the butter is an idea that I had with Marlon in the morning before shooting,” the director explains in this interview. “We were having, with Marlon, breakfast on the floor of the flat where I was shooting. There was a baguette, there was butter and we looked at each other and, without saying anything, we knew what we wanted.” (In the horrifying scene, which earned Schneider critical appeal from those who presumed for years that she was acting, Brando uses the stick of butter as sexual lubricant.) One of the most respected filmmakers of his generation, Bertolucci went on to acknowledge that he “had been, in a way, horrible to Maria because I didn’t tell her what was going on.” So why did he go forward with this despicable idea? “[I] wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress,” the director said. “I wanted her to react humiliated.” Soon after Last Tango in Paris was released, movie critic Roger Ebert gushed over Schneider as an actress who “doesn’t seem to act her role so much as to exude it.” We now know why. How awful. As news of this declaration by Bertolucci went viral, stars in Hollywood reacted on social media with shock and horror. “To all the people that love this film, you’re watching a 19 year old get raped by a 48 year old man,” Jessica Chastain Tweeted. “The director planned her attack. I feel sick.” Michael Cudlitz, late of The Walking Dead , was more direct than anyone: “Special place in hell for these two scumbags and everyone on the crew that watched and did nothing. F-CK YOU.” Bertolucci and Schneider didn’t stay in contact once the film was released. “After the movie, we really didn’t see each other because she was hating me,” Bertolucci said. The director concluded that he felt a bit “guilty” about the whole thing, but not to the point where he regretted the decision. “To obtain something I think you have to be completely free,” Bertolucci said. “I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation her rage, I wanted her to Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation. Then she hated me for all of her life.” For good reason. This is sickening. View Slideshow: 24 Actors Who Turned Down Iconic Roles

Taylor Swift is way Too Pumped On Selena Gomez at the AMAs of the Day

Taylor Swift creeps me the fuck out, this is a video she live instagram streamed that I accidentally clicked on and had to download, because her little crew creep me the fuck out. Not just because of KENDALL JENNER’S REACTION WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE TAYLOR SWIFT CREW ….but because I know anyone who makes that much money off bullshit music – is fucking corrupt, evil, and a monster… That said, drug rehab, addict and entitled whiner who will pretend it’s all a disease rather than being accountable for her own issues of being an entitled whiner – Selena Gomez – Lupus survivor so far – and self destructive little monkey…won an award and Taylor Swift, her theoretical enemy, but rather he BFF because they are all in this scamming TOGETHER….make that fucking money, strength in numbers, who fucking knows…but a competitor should never publicly celebrate like this…there’s something going on…don’t trust the rich puppets… That said, Selena Won an AMA and she crawled out of Rehab to get it….incredible, but not at all…FINGERS crossed for Overdose… That said, the AMAs mean nothing…and not just because I hate the American Music awards with a passion and I always have….It isn’t because I have something officially against Dick Clark or his Host Body Ryan Seacrest….it is that I have something against a poorly produced….bar mitvah caliber produced….pile of shit award show for the sake of having an award show…featuring top selling artists that aren’t actually artists…but instead just puppets making the industry richer….because they can afford to shove the garbage down your retard throat….and make you think it is good…..and make you think they are more important than they are – because they give out trophies to each other – despite already winning…. …But because these self hating puppets already won…. The AMAs are the only award show I’ve ever been invited to attend, yes make this about me, it was years ago, but still, that should show you how low grade they are – when they come to DrunkenStepfather with press passes, sure the site was big and more relevant and read, but still that’s fucking ghetto…and you’d think I’d be drawn to all things ghetto based on the girls I fuck…especially when they include me in their fun…but no, that just means they fucking suck… Pile of shit, not an actual award, just a marketing platform. Fuck you AMAs. Here’s Selena Gomez out of rehab winning nonsense… Here are some sluts in attendeance…. Julianne Hough, looking like a crackwhore, which is exactly how Ryan Seacrest, Dick Clark’s Host body treated her when they dated – so it all comes full circle… Behati Prinsloo – Adam Levine from Maroon 5’s baby momma and her mom tits are so Music Industry thanks to his very annoying music…so obviously they’d be there… Sports Illustrated model Hannah Davis, who may be the one married to Derek Jeter’s Herpes, but that could be another SI Model, I can’t keep track of these whores – but she wore a see through dress….and it was so classy – like a Disney Princess…. TO SEE THE AMA MEGA POST WITH ALL THE PUSSY IN ATTENDANCE CLICK HERE Hailee Steinfeld is looking skinny – because she realizes fat is gross – and as a popstar in training – who proves how easy it is to get into the music scene from the acting scene – you can’t be gross…. Nina Dobrev – Cornrows Because She’s into cultural appropriation and mocking slavary….right? Olivia Munn – Weird fucking face counter balanced by tits – for the nerds…she exploited to get famous in the first place – BUT SHE IS SHOWING NIPPLES – BECAUSE THAT’S HOW YOU GET NOTICED TO SEE THE AMA MEGA POST WITH ALL THE PUSSY IN ATTENDANCE CLICK HERE Bella Thorne – Brought it in a bra top looking like a Child Star about to collapse and I fucking love it. Kat Graham in a See Through Outfit – Less Fat than she’s been at her fattest…oh wait that’s Ashley Graham…same shit….chubby sluts trying to get famous…maintain famous…etc… Chrissy Teigen’s Pussy – Not Worthy of a Post of its Own because she’s shameless, disgusting and this pug faced wallet fucking cunt – haggard and vile – has used her attention seeking so aggressively that she’s got on TV like Tila Tequila…when she should just fucking kill herself… TO SEE THE AMA MEGA POST WITH ALL THE PUSSY IN ATTENDANCE CLICK HERE Manly Muppet faced – overrated rich kid model with a man voice – was the host, god knows why, oh right trying to get young people to watch as they sink into the depths of AMAs don’t matter…GIGI HADID impersonated Melania Trump….

Pamela Anderson in Contributor Magazine of the Day

Pamela Anderson is getting topless because she’s a porn avenger…and thinks that porn, despite being in her own porn, is the devil, because if your porn is with your husband you got Hep C from, rather than some paid actor you’re being paid to fuck, it’s not actually porn, but art – letting you inside their world….or something ridiculous… I think her fighting porn is more about her ex husband / boyfriend / who was the male star of the Paris Hilton sex tape….meaning both Pam Anderson and her husband were in sex tapes….were actually new age pornstars…his was Paris Hilton’s cock in One Night in Paris – developing a porn addiction where he would sit and jerk off to girls who look like Pam Anderson all clown tits and bleached hair but who aren’t 100 years old and weathered…and she got bitter… Either way, why am I still talking about Pam Anderson, this is the kind of girl who dies at menopause.

Jennifer Lawrence in Vanity Fair Holiday of the Day

Jennifer Lawrence is so fucking overrated…she’s overpaid, she’s over inflated, she’s over used, she’s overhyped, she’s garbage…I actually can’t stand her…. But she looked good in her nudes. Like really good. It almost validated her as the Hollywood created high paid star who keeps getting nominated for Oscars because it is part of the scam to keep budgets as high as possible so everyone get seriously fucking paid…. She’s dating Darren Aronofsky, because he was the director on a movie she’s in, and I guess she likes to fuck the boss, or maybe she’s the actual boss on the movie and he’s just the creeper who tries to fuck everyone but may stick with this one because she’s not some extra or groupie trying to get hollywood – she is hollywood and hollywood is a status thing and she’s a big deal…but most importantly she’s got great tits… Here’s the video…of her answering a bunch of questions – where she doesn’t look hot….
