I mean, at the second episode, it was very clear that this was an anthology series with through-lines, and I don’t know that it’s fair to expect things to wrap up in a cohesive fashion. That’s not what the show’s trying to do.

But it makes even less sense for Obi-Wan - did he have a secret family on Tatooine when he was watching over Luke? Did he violate the Jedi teachings on love and attachment under the Republic’s watch? And if so, did he intentionally abandon them? None of this works for Obi-Wan Kenobi.

If she wants to make her point strongly and drama-free, she wouldn’t make it glibly or imply that light-skinned women count less. I mean I’m a light-skinned black man and have often heard that same type of langauge from other black people directed at me. Now I’m smart enough to know and understand that how I’m treated…

I read it as pointing out that even where rappers aren’t marrying white women, they are still marrying lighter-skinned black women. I don’t read it as saying those lighter-skinned black women aren’t really black, I read it as pointing out that even where rappers marry black women their choices still seem to be…

Where are you seeing that she said many of them weren’t lighter? She used the word “almost,” but that’s kind of a copout, in my opinion. Like Trump’s “And some, I assume, are good people.” The author of this article says that “Acknowledging a Black person’s light complexion doesn’t inherently negate their blackness”…

If I’m reading this article correctly, the context of the conversation was that black rappers don’t marry black women. When someone provided a list of rappers who married black women, Moody responded with “Yeah, but they’re all light-skinned.” To me, that implies that they count less. That they have an asterisk.…

All things considered, the original tweet is way besides the point, but I have to take a bit of issue with:

Both of them were wrong! I am a big fan of “you can’t do wrong by a person, and tell them how mad to get.” She came at him, (He must was searching his name), and he went back with her. I was tired of both of them, she was going back and forth with him, and then want to claim “harassment”. Both of them are too grown…

Kweli’s harassment is completely wrong and no one should argue otherwise. Also, colorism is a genuine problem that people should be able to discuss. But it’s completely disingenuous to pretend that Moody’s initial tweet didn’t imply that those women are less black than dark-skinned women and that the rappers who…

I don’t think they have it as figured out as F&F does, JW seems to not know what kind of franchise it wants to be yet. If they go with the F&F style of over the top action that delivers, like riding a motorcycle with a pack of raptors, instead of a crying dinosaur at the end of the dock, then it could be a lot of…

Disney’s Hercules came out in 1997. Modern academic Afrocentrism peaked in the late 1980s/early 1990s, and included such works as Martin Bernal’s Black Athena which sought to prove that all of classical civilization, but most especially classical mythology, was derived from African (predominantly Egyptian) sources.…

I was one of those. I turned 12 in 1969, and I watched the first moon landing live. I’d already been watching Star Trek for 3 years, and reading Science Fiction. As the 80s started, it was sad to see NASA trivialized (that is not a dig at NASA, but at the way the public and government treated them).

1. That this movie is still arguably the worst Star Wars movie ever made.

“Within 30 seconds” of someone mentioning the idea of the Emperor coming back, everyone knew it was the right idea.

Well, that too.

Used to be novelizations were a fun way to find out the plots of movies before they came out, now they serve mainly to fix the movies so they make sense and are not an incoherent, rushed mess find out the plots of movies after you’ve seen them.

To be fair, he reached the “I don’t give a shit” phase of his career a while back.

If I were Feige I’d have a long talk with Sony execs about what Orci’s hiring says about their treatment of the Spider-Man brand.

Roberto Orci is attached to write another Spider-Man spinoff film at Sony.

Orci? HARD pass. Somehow, his writing for comic book movies is even worse than his writing for Star Trek movies.
