Kudos to Kenan for not even a hint of a break. Man has seen it all.

nope

No, he got acquitted because of LA’s notoriously corrupt, incompetent, and racist police force. The context of portions of Black America “celebrating” that acquittal is significantly more complicated than money.

It’s so nice how OJ’s acquittal so many years ago pointed out the inequalities of our deeply flawed justice system and how having a vigorous and therefore very expensive legal team is by far the single biggest predictor of a win in court.

I was in high school social studies class when the principal came on the PA to interrupt everyone’s classes to announce the verdict. It’s difficult to describe how fucking obsessed the nation was with this trial. The perfect storm of the birth of the 24 hour news cycle at a time when we could still have some kind of…

My issue with the doc is a common problem I see with these HBO Documentary “series”. They have enough material for a real tight and interesting 2 hour documentary but then decide to pad it and “shocking cliff hangers” and such to turn it into 4 episodes of content. I binged it so maybe I noticed it a bit more but…

While the doc overall has worthy goals, I do wonder why you’d even bother steering an interview with him in this direction since, as has been pointed out, it has nothing to do with the shows he was on and generally concerns a phase of the network that was after his time there.

Yeah, a 43 year old Ripley does not work for me even a little for TTMR. It’s a coming of age novel practically FFS. Might as well make Holden Caufield a middle aged divorcee. Anyway, I guess we’ll see.

What is this “acting” you speak of? You mean people pretend to be other people than what they are? Witchcraft, I say!

He should be hawking steaks and “university” educations by now?

A bit like the character of Billy Quizboy on the Venture Bros. He was a former child genius but people aren't that impressed by him as an adult.

Yeah unfortunately I think too much of what makes Left Hand of Darkness interesting happens inside Genly’s head. 

“May the Good Lord take a likin’ to ya and blow you up real soon!”

We should all go to Sizzler tonight to honor him. 

I can only recall two. The Shinning and The Green Mile. From the King I’ve scene or read he tends to favor another bad trope. The magical mentally handicapped person

This is too bad. It’s a neat title/concept. It might make a good skit on SNL.

Sorry to Bother You made me wish that every movie included an army of centaurs battling racist cops.

This whole thing reads like it should have been a short film rather than a whole theatrically released movie.

Couldn’t Idris Elba just, like, *act* like he was from a posh family?
