I'm glad SOMEBODY is speaking up for Diaz. I mean, she didn't look bad to me at all in this. I think she'll be great and yeah, Bad Teacher is a perfect example of how good she can be with the right material.

With Carol Burnett, you got a real sense that she might get drunk and beat the shit out of you. Cameron Diaz just seems like an overgrown teenager.

Miss Hannigan should have been played by Megan Mullalley.

It strikes me this is probably the only site anywhere on the Internet running this item where it's safe to read the comments.

ThinWhiteDuchess pointed out in the dirt bag comments that it's so totally smart of them to update this into foster care, and that a cast of POC kids is way realistic for a story about kids in the foster care system.

The only people who don't get why representation matters are people who have never wanted for it.

They're not in it at ALL? That makes me sad. But then again, anything after Bernadette Peters and Tim Curry would be a disappointment.

I will cut whoever tries to pull an-I-can't-see-a-non-white-character-playing-Annie on little Quvenzhane like they did with Amandla Stenberg. You hear me? I WILL CUT YOU!

As a former copy editor, I'd tell you about the pressure of writing timely, appropriate headlines, but I wouldn't want to Bohr you.

I feel like African-American cinema is lumped into two categories by Hollywood and the general public: "The Black Hardship Film" (The Butler, 12 years a Slave, Precious.) and "The Stupid Romantic Comedy Farce" (Tyler…

Actually, I'd figure it was probably a (poor) attempt at a double pun.

Let's be honest here. A big legacy of slavery is not slavery itself, but the aftermath that continues to live in our culture: The idea that African Americans are not really citizens imbued with all the freedoms of being American. Further, how we feel about this disregard for our freedom doesn't matter. I'm just gonna…

"only to make a fool of Kim Gordon"

You guys all see it, right?

The article that Phoenix linked (which I should have read before I posted) argues that its a way of exoticizing (which is a word I just made-up) Asian people. And I see how it could be used as a subtle way to "other" someone, even when using it as a compliment.
