13 years since what? It’s been 10 years since his DUI and drunken antisemitic tirade at the cops and 6.since he left those awful phone messages to his ex and since she filed for (and received) a restraining order against him. And i highly doubt he’s improved as a person in that time.

Hollywood Executive: “I want a woman director! Get me Kathryn Bigelow!”
Underling: “She’s busy working on a project about the Detroit riots.”
Hollywood Executive: “Get me Ava DuVernay!”
Underling: “She’s making ‘A Wrinkle in Time’”
Hollywood Executive: “Oh, fuck it. I tried. Get me Mel Gibson.”
It is just such a glaring example of a white man getting chance after chance after chance in a field that is very hard for women and minorities to break into that it’s difficult to ignore.
“They were least likely to be in action films, with only 3% of those movies having female leads.”
This always confuses me so much... Alien was basically the best action/horror film of all time and it was all about a female protagonist.
With that said... I just finished watching Person of Interest in marathon... and I…
it’s “possible that introducing female protagonists is somehow an easier, less threatening fix than hiring women directors and writers.”
I think my first real ~awakening~ was James Byrd Jr. I live in the Houston area which isn’t terribly far from Vidor/Jasper and I distinctly remember seeing it on the news and being kind of catapulted into this... realization, I guess, that racism in the late 90's was much worse than having to admonish my grandmother…
I wonder - who did you vote for in the primary? In the general election? Did you vote in 2014?
Dude, I’m all in favor of people figuring shit out, no matter how insufferable it may appear on the surface.
I’m a 41 year old white guy. I worked on Howard Dean’s campaign. I’ve been a “social justice warrior” since I was a teenager when my fellow gen-xers were checking out. I’ve been “woke” since probably before you were born - certainly before the stupid fucking phrase gained traction. Sorry if you got a shitty deal out…
Hmmm. Something about this comment doesn’t seem right. Policing a term, that people of color coined, as illiterate-sounding doesn’t sit right.
Yes, let us reject those who only recently decided to agree with us. They are not the true believers of ‘woke’ but blasphemers in sheep’s clothing! I say we ridicule them for now agreeing and therefore discourage them from taking part. How dare they only agree with us now and not before!
HOTTER TAKE: You aren’t actually forced to listen!
Lol, Black people have been saying “woke” for years now, and some latecomer is saying it isn’t going to “happen” now that those outside of the culture have started saying it to death. Lol, typical.
It happened. Without you.
Beyoncé is redeemable because when she is on the spot, she can actually SING (like when she did Take My Hand Precious Lord). Lady Gaga is the same way - an actual decent singer when she has to. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Katy Perry, you know, SING (like just her voice with minimal producing). I would personally…
OK, whoa! Tweed! Thanks for the intel. Well, now that I look again, that IS exactly what it looks like. And now I also see they have matching tweed eyebrow-wigs, too.
It looks like they’re just having more trouble with the shoes than the rest of the models
lolno. Deadpool was a basic superhero origin film with Family Guy-style dick and poop jokes added. If it had garnered a Best Picture nomination while a film like Sing Street got completely shut out, the Academy would’ve lost the rest of the minimal respect it still has.
Sorry, had to post one more!
