It's a wonderful thing that Hollywood has begun letting disabled actors play disabled parts, considered disabled actors can't play regular parts, yet they've always let regular people portray disabilities. I can't wait to watch this!

Oh HELL YES I am about this, used to work with IDD population and still do sometimes, love those people. I’m also a huge Woody Harrelson fan. I recently found out Woody is an anti-vaxxer, but I still enjoy Mel Gibson even though he’s racist, and I still enjoy Tom Cruise even though he’s a cultist, and I still enjoy Christian Bale even though he’s violent, so I think I can still enjoy Woody Harrelson. Time is a flat circle, and Harrelson is still a vegan whose dad was a hit man.

Tom Cruise is the one I completely boycotted, but I went all the way into the rabbit hole on the inside workings of Scientology and exactly how much abuse he's handed out to members that were imprisoned personally from several first hand accounts. I know I'm missing out on some great movies, and Days Of Thunder was one I watched repeatedly as a kid. But, I definitely don't judge others who support him or anyone else that I may not. |

This reminds me of when I vollunteered with Special Olympics vollyball. We didn't go All The Way though. We were pretty bad- I don't do well playing sports, or teaching them.

Life lessons are sometimes the biggest win of all, so they say. They aren't me, however. I'm a sore loser. I have never lost cleanly. Someone cheated! |

This looks like it's going to be a great movie! It should be noted that The Ringer was also a movie that cast disabled actors (though a couple of ABs snuck their way in).

I was thinking about that one last night. I know Knoxville is an obnoxious piece of shit… but I still love him, including the Bad Grandpa movies and the newest Jackass in which they all have crow’s feet lol. I saw The Ringer in theaters and fucking loved it, although the romantic subplot was pretty stupid and cliche in my opinion. |

Peanut Butter Falcon also focused on one co star. It's also about chasing a dream of being a pro wrestler. Both of my passions in the same narrative. I was sold! |
