Counterpoint. Watch Westworld season 1 and no further.

That ‘ Cyborg Mr T.” look is awesome.

You don’t elect Republicans to govern, you elect them to cut taxes for rich people while demonizing minorities and taking rights away from women. This is none of his concern

To be fair politicians are still entitled to vacations and if you’ve expressly planned one to take you out of touch then that’s tough luck...

Yah, knowing basically nothing about Disneyland’s Marvel stuff, I definitely assumed this was about an actual stunt performer that actually died at first. Had to go through a series of “holy shit why is this article being so flippant about this tragedy" before eventually deciding "okay there's no way this is real".

That’s almost the story of Anna Sorokin — she partied with Billy McFarland and Martin Shkreli before any of them went to prison.  (!)

There were a lot of detractors before and after but I think she ended up being better than most expected. I wouldn’t say she’s good in it or a good fit and there was a lack of chemistry from both sides but it was perfectly adequate for a comic book movie.

I thought her performance was in Aquaman was fine, as was her and Momoa’s chemistry. Not especially memorable, but not terrible either.

Elizabeth Holmes looks so fucking weird in this photo with Leto, even weirder than usual. It's like she's an alien in human skin suit that doesn't fit right.

Someone introduce them to Martin Shkreli so we can complete the unholy triumvirate!

He’s too...BLONDE!!!

I’m going to play Devil’s Advocate here: Dominion was the best Jurassic World movie. And it was nowhere as dumb as I feared. Let me explain.

It’s usually not just an accent. First, it’s often because it’s a marginalized group (such as a race), so someone faking a NY accent isn’t as bad as someone faking a southern slave accent as a normal tone. Then, it often can be the content of the speaking, if they are made to sound stereotypical with what they are

Chow speaks in heavily but not egregiously accented English, which I suspect is also part of the redub, but cannot say for certain.

First off, thank you for trying to learn more. I should qualify that I can’t speak for all Asian people, so this is just based on my experiences as a Canadian raised child of Hong Kong immigrants. I mean, my profile picture is a slanty-eyed caricature of me holding a Rubik's Cube.

It depends on how egregiously stereotypical it is. It's one thing to have someone doing a standard accent, and another to do voices like this: https://youtu.be/8KLWnE-dJUA 

It’s rooted in film and television history. For example, they would write Black characters with extremely poor, exaggerated English in a way to make the Black characters seem stupid. They did the same with Asian characters, exaggerating linguistic (and visual) differences to a level that can only be described as

I assume it will be just like McDonald’s. The local managers and suppliers aren’t going anywhere. McDonald’s probably even left the instructions behind.

I just made an inferior version of the same comment before realizing yours was in the gray. You’re right, TOH is a fantastic show, plus being on PBS there are no commercials in the middle. 

I always thought This Old House was a faaaaar more accurate home renovation show. It takes an entire season to finish one house. The people involved have a budget, but also spend more due to delays, price changes, etc. than planned. There are multiple contractors involved in every step of the process. One episode even
