I think it’s illuminating that she recognizes that broad characterizations are her way of protecting herself. But I also feel that her performance on “The Good Place” was distractingly broad. She was lovely and understated in AWAY WE GO.

the comments here proves her point

Come on dude, use your head and read the rest of the article. She doesn’t want to be in pop culture the way it works with instant reactions and the industry around it. Thats not anti woke at all. 

This is fucking dumb.  If you don’t see that this is an OBVIOUS antisemitic caricature, the educational system failed you.

This is harsh, but all the hand-wringing about Israel-Palestine doesn’t even rate on the top 10 reasons for election decisions in 2024.

Macklemore in this photo is dressed as a used car salesman to surprise his fans while they wouldn’t recognize him. Says a lot about you that you automatically associate big noses with Jews

Based on the lack of comments for this episode (two so far, one of which says they stopped watching mid-season) and for the preceding ones (five for the last episode, eight for the one before that), it seems like basically no one but the author is watching.

This Macklemore? The guy who went on stage dressed up like a caricature from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion?

Sincere question: What should the US do? Cut Israel off and leave it alienated and its leaders even more paranoid than they are now? Israel has nuclear weapons. Iran may have them. Biden is trying to maintain a delicate balance between getting the Gaza genocide stopped and having Israel believe its only recourse is to …

The smartest thing Kendrick Lamar has done is convince people he’s not a “pop-rap” artist (whatever that means) despite doing songs with Taylor Swift, the Lonely Island, Maroon 5, Dido, Mayer Hawthorne, and Sia. 

and in 3 years they’ll be on tour together. i know how this movie ends.

I didn’t think the movie was trying to make anyone a hero or a villain. Tracy and Broderick’s characters are antagonistic toward one another, but they’re ultimately both protagonists in the story the movie is telling. In the sense of “the moral of the story,” I guess you can point to the comeuppance Broderick’s…

The film is genius in playing to the public’s inherent affection towards Matthew Broderick, who is very much introduced as the relatable audience surrogate reacting to the absurdly heightened political ambitions of a high school student. Over time more is revealed about his character - his cold relationship with his…

Well, sure. We identify with Broderick and then spend the arc of the film learning about what happens if we follow the dark path of temptation. And by watching Broderick’s character bottom out, we realize that Flick wasn’t the villain after all. His extremely petty revenge at the end of the film underscores this - his…

So you spend the entire article telling us the multitude of ways the show fails in every aspect of it’s presentation, admit that it was universally hated by people on both sides of the culture war, (One of the few pieces of content they DO agree on), and yet still feed us the same old tired, “Unjustified condemnation…

This feels like one of those things where a show or movie that barely anyone watches “raises a middle finger to its haters” to give the impression that anyone is actually still talking about it. I haven’t heard anything about this show since like the first week it came out.

Have Zendaya’s tits done their part to kill woke-ness?

The fact is, there’s nothing Love likes more than being a hater.

My favorite genre is ‘article drumming up controversy from comments that are not all that controversial punctuated by snarky internet commentary’
