They didn’t even deny doing it. They claim she was cool with it.

It’s an honor, not a reward. Same reason Bob Dylan gets the Medal of Freedom, not Ted Nugent (one hopes)

Reads more like snooty New Yorkers commenting among themselves on what kind of fashions Trump fans are wearing to rallies

Star Wars (Rogue one, etc) is a continuation of what these adults watched as teenage boys. It’s not like they’re also obsessing over Twilight (or whatever it is teenage boys are watching—I assume not that, but anyway), it is of their time. Whether it is “for adults” or not is irrelevant. If you enjoy it, it is for…

This man’s reviews are the equivalent of a fat man standing in front of the screen: all i can see is him.

Most adults just ignore things they find annoying or uninteresting.

+1 for reminding me of my favorite cartoon

I was working for a environmental org one summer and spent some time working at a county fair on Cape Cod, telling people that windmills were good and such. Our booth was near the rear entrance to the stage and I had been out talking to random fair-goers all day, so was a bit punchy and over-talkative. A guy was…

we’re all too busy trying to out holier-than-thou each other, rather than actually accomplishing anything of value.

That he is a white dude still isn’t a critique of the movie/trailer. It’s a critique of the choice of actors—a critique based in no analysis of the plot beyond “GREAT WALL! CHINA!”

Maybe it’s best to wait and see if his presence makes sense? Rather than yet another example of the white, liberal internet rushing to the…

The issue is that a bunch of wrong assumptions were made about this movie based upon a poster and a preview—and when the assumptions turned out to be wrong, rather than just drop it, we are doubling down.

Have you seen the movie?

It’s not just faux-rage, it’s precisely the reason why real concerns about diversity and fairness get lost. The initial impression of this movie by “the left” (i guess) was wrong, and rather than just dropping it, we must die on yet another meaningless hill.

So critique the trailer, not some perceived hiring slight.

Just keep driving—you’re almost to Austin.

We should be concerned?

I think that if the US had better handled the aftermath of the revolution and the overthrow of a puppet dictator, the lives of Cubans would have been significantly better. Instead, the US was obstinate and militant, leading to Castro matching that militarism. So, in the wake of that, we have 2 countries refusing to…

If you install someone into power who perpetrates the same kind of evil (Pinochet, for example) the distinction you speak of becomes less clear.

In fact, you could point to the US support for Batista as responsible for the inevitable violent revolution that was bound to follow.

The “difficult concept” that seems to be…

For Trump he’s a perfect fit...so long as he bends the knee

Harold Ford is self-promoting garbage.
