I read that the show is supposed to follow the birth of punk, disco and hip-hop and that sounded interesting but then I realized Netflix also has a show that’s specifically about the birth of hip-hop, disco and punk but this one has PoC in the lead cast and is created by Baz Luhrman. I like Bobby Canavale but I’ll

I get that people on gluten-free diets are annoying because avoiding gluten is trendy but wasn’t Elisabeth Hasselbeck a big part of making GF diets trendy? Or did it become okay for everyone to hate her now that she’s out at Fox?

My husband and I haven’t bothered to make multiple profiles so it goes from comedies, telenovelas and animated shows to horror, suspense movies and WWII documentaries.

I actually think the show keeps going back and forth in its values. It was a “only someone willing to kill every stranger they meet” show in season two, as seen by the debate over killing Randall (and the terribly-written debate where “moral center” Dale just sounded like a whiny liberal from a Mallard Filmore strip).

See, I firmly believe that slurs are made by context. If a word is used frequently in a hateful way to describe a group of people it becomes a slur. The big difference between “colored” and “... of color” is the intent of the people using them, one term is used respectfully and the other isn’t. That’s why “homosexual”

Something something it’s so unfair that we can’t say “colored” but they get to use a term that still has “color” in it.

Plenty of people have ID. These laws have often created strict requirements for an ID to be a valid one for voting, ones targeted to make sure liberal-leaning voters have it harder. Texas’ voter ID law infamously makes a university student’s ID not good enough but a permit to carry a gun meets the requirement.

While I thought the second “ripped-from-the-headlines” season of FX’s Dirt had potential reading this:

He was on an episode of Hollywood Game Night and he spent the show mugging to the camera to draw attention to himself.

I will give him credit, “That is a terrifying possibility” is a great generic response to someone saying something crazy. It’s perfect if you want them to build up to crazier and crazier heights or if you want them to get so worked up in a rant that they don’t notice you backing your way out of a room.

It’s from the mostly adorable documentary Koala Hospital (about a facility that nurses koalas back to health after they are found injured or get attacked by domestic animals, they also raise orphan koalas to release into the wild).

His voice is bothering me because I feel like he’s putting on a bit of a gayvoice, which takes away from the producer saying the were acknowledging Deadpool’s pansexuality.

True. Non-Hispanics don’t realize this. They think we all stand together, holding hands and singing Latin jamboree songs. What they don’t know is that Caribbean Hispanics can stand Mexicans. Mexicans can’t stand Central Americans. And South Americans hate other South Americans.

There’s also the Mexican-Americans who hate Mexicans. I live in a part of the country that used to be Mexico. There’s a lot of people of Mexican descent whose family goes back and they can get really racist, anti-immigration and resentful of bilungualism.

Since you made a koala pun, I’ll mention how there’s a vetinary clinic I drive by frequently. They have one of those lit signs that let them make all kinds of monochorme pictures and they’ll often put puns up.

Okay, because I watch every koala documentary that I find on the TV schedule (THERE. ARE. NOT. ENOUGH.) Koalas with chlamydia have a musty smell (healthy ones smell like eucalyptus) and their butt ends up discolored (healthy koalas’ bums matches the rest of their fur). There probably is a test but experienced

From what I read, the show wasn’t put together well and some of it sounded like there was a conflict between network and creator. It sounds like there was some Coyote Ugly syndrome as the network didn’t know how to market a show with the Playboy name when the show was mostly told from the perspective of female

There was a series called The Playboy Club, which got terrible reviews for trying to get Eddie Cibrian work in a somewhat complicated role. Three episodes aired and seven were made (they were online for a time).

I keep saying in with all the remake mania and the love of period pieces, A Bunny’s Tale should be remade. It’d be a good way to show that period dramas aren’t all Mad Men dramas about the days of white straight male privilege.

I do wish there could be a side-by-side where the male lead characters’ descriptions are posted, just to shut up the idiots who keep insisting that gorgeous/atrractive/etc are also defining characteristics for male characters and we’re just getting a one-sided argument.
