Mostly because the Academy realized they fucked up for not giving him one for Pans Labyrinth. 

I was looking for this comment or I was going to make it.  Elon is a gross human being, but there is no reason to comment on his physical appearance. 

wait so we say body positivity, but also body shame elon musk? seems the entire article is saying “ew, he has a weird torso”. a bit of a double standard no, jezebel?

Zero, is the ideal number.

I am very excited about anything stop animation while waiting for the next LAIKA fillms and I will always interested in a del Toro film (even though it’s been a while since I’ve really enjoyed one). I hope the political context for this story plays as much of a role as it did in Pan’s Labyrinth and it doesn’t end up…

I will gladly watch this over that Tom Hanks remake or whatever the heck that Pauley Shore one was.

I would have been fine with a policy of "no political ads at all," but there is far too much money to be made from those ads.

Their policy actually defines not being able to have multiple “hot button issues” in the same ad (at least that was how Patel defined it in the Slate(?) article I read that was about this several weeks ago). Patel wanted to run an ad that essentially had abortion rights/gun control/climate change/Jan 6 in it, and they…

Meanwhile, enjoy this picture of a mall fountain.

I love it when concept interiors are utterly distracting and make it near impossible to even imagine what the actual interior might look like.

I fully expect some mediocre evolution of “retro” Mustang design with similar engines and drivetrains and a moderately improved interior. Dwindling sales limits the investment into new designs, and with the elimination of ICEs around the corner, they’re saving the development dollars for the first electric Mustang 5-7…

Here’s hoping Maron finally stops talking shit about comic book movies, now that he’s getting residuals from one.

I had no intention of seeing this, but Marc Maron as Lex Luthor? Okay, I’ll at least watch it on streaming. (...probably while high)

“cultural appropriation” is limited to America.... Go to Japan and wear a traditional kimono as Caucasian, and the Japanese will celebrate sharing their culture with you. Wear on in America as a Caucasian and all of a sudden you’re racist, even though not a single Japanese national would be offended...

I think you nailed exactly what I was going to type.
As soon as I see the word “appropriation”, I always get this sinking feeling that I am readying poorly researched article by a young intern who hasn’t traveled enough or seen enough of the world to understand the intersections between art and culture.

Every time a writer here types the word “orientalism” in article they should consider that fact 

but not all depictions of non-white people have to automatically be political.

I’ll start this by saying that anyone is free to feel insulted by whatever they feel insulted by. But I - an Asian-American living in a third world country - really think this criticism is stretching a bit.

Yet this site name is Kotaku. If there is a sense of irony about “appropriation” being ignored here... *shrugged*
