OMG.BLOG!: OMG, sacrilege.
NY1: I think it's incredibly blood-thirsty of so many people that most seem happy Daniel Penny — who put a mentally unwell man, Jordan Neely, into a chokehold that resulted in death on an NYC subway — has been acquitted. It was also weird to me because the jury deadlocked on the more severe charge of manslaughter, yet instantly decided he was not guilty of criminally negligent homicide. This, in spite of the fact that there was demonstrably no reason for him to intervene when Neely began ranting on the train, and that he had been trained in how to administer a chokehold safely and did it incorrectly. Why have laws anymore? People just want all “crazy” people and all petty criminals executed.
What's telling about people's reactions is not when they think what he did was justified, but that they're turned on by what he did. They're excited. They see him as a hero. It's never an impression that what he did was a sad necessity which should always be the reaction if someone must be restrained and accidentally dies, no?

EXTRATV: Emilia Pérez, with 10, was one nomination short of tying the all-time record for Golden Globe nominations. I finally saw it this weekend, and I have to say I found it captivating, gutsy and I went with its Shakespearean strokes. I bought it wholly. All of the acting, especially Zoe Saldaña's, but I must say I thought Selena Gomez was wonderful. Gomez was attacked for her accent, but it works in the context, and I liked her moll vulnerability. The whole film was like a classic noir.
