Christine B. Taylor on twitter.com:They re-made Ben-Hur? Seriously? Ok I understand wanting to reinterpret art for our generation, but what's the next gen going to interpret?
@mousewords The same movies, but with emoji.
(((ms_xeno))) on twitter.com:Great for you if you like her work. As for me, this was my first & hopefully last encounter with her. https://twitter.com/gRegorLove/status/761628318504521729
@amylsacks Don't get me wrong. I'm quite turned off to her at this point.
David Futrelle on www.wehuntedthemammoth.com:Twitter “progressives” bombard Jen Kirkman with death threats after missing the point of a joke
The threats she received are absolutely un-excusable. Full stop.
The joke was in poor taste and she made light of actual deaths at the hands of the US government. Then she doubled-down and mocked people criticizing her, including people who were not threatening violence. I saw a lot of the tweets at the time it was happening, and she almost exclusively was retweeting and mocking what I'll call the “genuine responses”—non-violent, non-sexist. There’s screenshots here: https://twitter.com/SeanMcElwee/status/761254572044251136
None of that above justifies or excuses the violent, sexist responses she also received, but there is more than just one thing that happened here.
I’m not a Bernie (or Trump) supporter, in case that’s a question. I’ve seen Jen’s Netflix special and really enjoyed it, which is why I’m following her to begin with.
Gosh, 3 “cyborg” responses already. Maybe you people are the robots. ¬_¬

@kylewmahan shh don’t mess up my tweet. :]
Google, I feel conflicted checking this “I’m not a robot” box. #PacemakerLife

@Skirts WHAT. SEEMS LIKE IT WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. SLOW DOWN, TIME.
And props to @CNNPolitics for announcing a similar town hall for the Green Party candidates in two weeks.
Really appreciated this answer regarding #BlackLivesMatter
If you're interested/curious about @GovGaryJohnson, there's a town hall on CNN 9PM Eastern tonight.
.@GovGaryJohnson Do you believe vaccines cause autism?
Facebook needs a Clippy-like helper after you write x lines without a line break.

Emily Rugburn on twitter.com:Shit I do not need in my life: a remake of splash. No matter who is playing the mermaid. I just don't want it. Make something new.
@PennyLane516 How about a reboot with a merman, though? jk
