As a fake lawyer, I can confirm that in doing whatever happened above, Ivanka extremely broke America law, that the Constitutionally-prescribed justice system for such crime is mob rule, and that the minimum sentence is keelhauling. The maximum sentence is “exploding,” but I imagine American angry mobs to be…

François Truffaut said “There’s no such thing as an anti-war film,” because in showing the violence in a way that the viewer can walk out of the theater without shrapnel wounds, you still generate all the adrenaline of combat without the trauma.

Apparently he doesn’t care about foreigners at all until they’re in the United States.

When I’m depressed, I wonder how many lives might have been saved if the Senate had removed him from office in February.

All the “so good” movies you listed were produced in China.

He doesn’t need to. He’s always a producer. He has final say on the script and the cast and the final cut. It’s way easier to just hire a director, and then tell them what to do.

New headcanon: Anatole, Aunt Dahlia’s French chef in the Jeeves and Wooster series, whom Sir Watkyn Bassett tries to bribe away in Code of the Woosters, is also actually a small rodent who wears a beret, and is a distant ancestor of Remy.

I hope this doesn’t become a trend of matching character race with voice actor race. Whatever anyone says, it is impossible to tell someone’s race from their voice. Vocal cords don’t vary by skin color or ethnicity. A black Scotsman on the phone is going to sound more “Scottish” than how Americans think of as “black.”…

Don’t pretend anyone in existence calls Chadwick Boseman “Chad.”

I hope Fey and Carlock consulted a number of actual black people when deciding whether to take down the episodes, add a disclaimer, or issue a statement.

Watch TV on Juneteenth.

(Forget about the fact that basically evil people face no repercussions for their actions in the living world.)

What’s cool about the premise of Inside Out is that you can apply it to pretty much any decent movie, and make it even more interesting.

They establish that mom’s are all female and the dad’s are all male.

There are positive and negative sides to all emotions. The darker side of Joy is Mania. The brighter sides of Anger is Justice, Disgust is Reason, and Fear is Courage. Only Sadness is actually explored in the movie.

Pixar parents can’t hold a candle to Ghibli parents.

I’d say the genius was in the way they DID build the world with clear rules, without doing so obviously. How zeppelins and giant birds are established in the news footage, how the insane lifting power of balloons is shown off the first time we see Carl’s cart, even stuff like the “snipe hunt” and Russell’s GPS…

It’s at least part because 95% of movie critics are the textbook definition of “big city elite” and the main plot of the movie revolves around NASCAR, the favored sport of their sworn political opposite.

I could go for some coffee. Maybe later some beers or White Russians, and maybe some confused looks when I call them “oat sodas” and “Caucasians” because of this fuckin’ movie.

It’s a comedy of manners. Anyone can remake Emma/Little Women/etc with whatever colors, cultures, or genders they want and produce something that’s probably worth watching. Don’t tell artists they can’t do stuff. It rarely works.
