This movie makes me a little fidgety. Poor Nancy Kerrigan, more than 20 years later and she just can't get away from this damn story. And turning something like an assault into an "edgy comedy" seems...kind of wrong.

Makes me think of the "Alzheimer's comedy," Reagan. I have an alive-but-gone mother with Alzheimer's and pretty much can't deal with any dementia-related movie content. There's a lot of it, surprisingly.

Yes.  You nailed why I'm not on board. I feel like it *might* be doable if the approach is like To Die For, which was black comedy, but didn't skimp on portraying Nicole Kidman's character as a giant asshole. If they try to go for a sympathetic (or "oh, you goofballs!") approach to Harding and Gillooly... just no.

The first movies I thought of were I Love You to Death (REGGIE!REGGIE!REGGIE!)and To Die For.

I'm expecting "Suicide Squad On Ice," where the bad guys are good guys but not really. That's fine for comic book characters but these are real people (one of whom sustained a terrible injury and horrible trauma) and real events. The whole "mayhem is fun!" thing doesn't apply when the shit actually happened.

And minky, I'm sorry about your mother. Fuck Alzheimer's.

To Die For worked well because they took the basic elements from the Smart murder case and turned them into a whole new story. Trying to recast Nancy Kerrigan's pain and fear as "edgy comedy" doesn't sound all that funny to me.

Any chance this is a joke? Or otherwise made up? It just seems like such a monumentally bad idea, on all fronts. Who would even be the audience for this movie?

Unfortunately, it isn't a joke. Seems kind of like a career killer for Margot Robbie. Art imitating life perhaps.

It just sounds so... tacky.

Google Images And I just don't see the hotness. He's no Chris Evans, at least for me!

I don't find him attractive in a lot of stills. Try this video (for fans: he's half naked in it).

Sebastian Stan posted a story today on his IG about a book he just received. It looks like he's wearing a wedding ring. Clearly, he didn't marry me, so I'd like to know who stole my husband and how come I never knew he got married?!
