Representation is needed. Recognitions, on the other hand, is never needed.

If the movie doesn’t get made will you guys count that as a victory?

Dante “Tex” Gill passed away 15 years ago but I see what you’re saying.

Isn’t that literally the plot of Under the Skin?

And for that matter, most of the trans actors who were critical about this casting have outright stated that they don’t think it’s wrong, at its core, for cis actors to play trans people, but when it’s at the expense of trans actors it’s a different story. (i.e., if trans actors were being considered for cis roles as…

When she finally learns to eat the head of her lover mid-coitus we will finally accept her as The Black Widow.

I’m sure that Scarlett Johansson, a multi-award winning, very serious actor was planning on “caricature.” Good call, pal.

And now the movie probably won’t get made.

Imagine being Dante “Tex” Gill and seeing your movie go from being a AAA oscar contender to something that might play during an AM slot on Lifetime because people’s feelings were hurt.

That sounds... Ominous.

I'm so fucking cool I was tired of jokes before being tired of jokes was cool.

I recently saw an article titled “Trump is bad for comedy”.

This. I don’t find SBC or “prank” comedy in general to be funny (though I did like him in Talladega Night), but if it is bothering powerful, hateful people, I might watch it. I feel like it’s a little bit akin to sitting on a deck chair and critiquing people’s fashion foibles while the Titanic sinks around us. It’s…

He’s vastly better than Samantha Bee, who mostly just yells (not even makes actual jokes, just shouts in the general cadence of one) as if that’s supposed to qualify as satire somehow. I loved Stewart, but he did inadverently give rise to all these clapter machines that just do…

We have to crap on good things because they aren’t miracles. The fact that this 1) looks really entertaining, and 2) really got under the skin of a bunch of truly terrible people, isn’t enough. Wake me when this show impeaches Trump singlehandedly.

Well I personally think this is...

Wait... am I missing something here? This comment is somehow popular. I thought both the Jezebel bloggers and commentariat were ultra-aggressive defenders of the centrist Dems and the DNC leadership, and held anyone to their left as a deeply loathsome sexist-racist-un-woke #BernieBro who deserve to be insulted and…

They’ll always find a way to blow it. 

What in the fuck point are you trying make? Are you a DNC bot currently melting down? 

It shouldn’t be surprising to anyone any more that the Democratic party is deeply opposed to progressive policy. They make a fuss about gay rights and abortion to keep you opposed to “the other guy” while they act in lock step with the Republicans to expand executive power and siphon the country’s wealth to wall…
