Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are being sued through their production company, Artists Equity, over their latest Netflix crime thriller, The Rip, which Miami police allege falsely depicts them as “dirty.”

You know how shit most movies are now? If the MPD wins, movies will get even worse. Just bland, milktoast, safe bullshit, because they won't be able to get insurance for anything even mildly edgy.

But, last time I checked the First Amendment was still in effect, and people are free to criticize and parody authority figures. So, I don't think this will go anywhere.

    It’s an excellent word, means a timid, meek, or unassertive person. I love it since it sounds like exactly what it is “”milktoast” sounds boring, unappealing, and bland, just like milquetoast people.. it’s an effective synonym regardless if intended or not :)

    They know. They were correcting a misspelling.

    American media already has a quite cozy relationship with police and the military. I am surprised the police even want to rock the boat. All of their bullshit forensics is made to seem real before anyone even gets on a jury
