I am really looking forward to Bridges as Cogburn.
Sweet Jesus, that American Stinker piece is awful, even for them. Is it me, or does he seem pissed that he can’t say anything catty about Hailee Steinfeld?
I agree with Zack 100%. And how distasteful of them to attack Bridges’ support of a charity. Scumbags.
