The title change was necessitated by the fact that the “Sex” in “Sex and the City” referred solely to Samantha. 

“This involves getting full-body tattoos from an intermediary named the Ferryman, an amputee with vitiligo played by Jamie Foxx, because Hollywood seems defiantly unaware that actual amputees and differently pigmented people can act too.”

This is a (very close) adaption of a play written by a formerly, morbidly obese person and (as he is even quoted in this article) is specific to his experience at that time. Rife’s review falls into the same realm of complaints that are all to common in media criticism today. That any depiction of a character that…

I’m sure you know that people will ignore reason, logic and basic common sense in order to be offended by something they haven’t even seen to be able to form a judgement about. Or they make their judgement the moment the plot is described to them and stick with it no matter what actually happens in the movie.

Yeah, there’s a substantial difference between “your doctor really wants you to cut out soda” and “your food is delivered because getting through doors and into a car is a long, arduous and painful process.”

Someone who is 600 lb can physically do very, very little. That kind of extra body mass makes doing the minimum basic activities of daily living extremely difficult, much less meeting the demanding schedule required of an actor.

There are no 600 pound actors with any kind of profile in the industry, and like he said, the issues with casting someone who actually weighed 600 pounds would be prohibitive. Aranofsky also has to make his investor’s money back, therefore you need a known name to put on the poster. I don’t have a problem with them…

Its just a shame to think of all the gay, 600lb actors who lost out on this role.

Thank you for the hot tip about this video. I do think she had an idea that she was going to die. She called it her “estate sale,” and she died of cancer, so I think it was her way to make fun of something terrible, as usual.

I just recently saw that YouTube video of her holding a crazy garage sale of a shitton of amazing memorabilia - her outfits, her accordions, stuff from her movies, stuff from other famous people, totally weird shit - pretty much as awesome as you’d hope for Judy Freakin Tenuta’s garage sale to be. I was shocked at…

The vast, vast, vast majority of the “backlash” and criticism that I have seen of this show been all about how bad it is - and it is pretty bad thus far. I have no doubt there are a handful of racists and sexists are out there saying nasty things about this show but the whole “everyone who complains about the quality…

Sure. This is the problem with fighting for social justice through diverse casting and diverse stories in movies: (to paraphrase a favorite director) making a successful movie is like catching lightning in a bottle. It is very hard to be sure why one movie does well and another fails.

Let’s not get carried away, now. That guy sucked too

“but the idea that no one should dare to make the mildest of mild sarcastic comments about how many writers it apparently takes to construct a Beyonce”

She is throwing shade. I don’t like DW’s work, but she is an actual musical genius and is probably tired of reading shit like this about a pop star who doesn’t write any of her own material:

Why does someone like Beyonce need 24 writers in the first place, regardless if they’re samples or not? At what point does the song lose it’s originality and just become a mashup of random hits?

Yeah lets all throw the worst insults at a songwriter who has written 100 times more and 100 time better songs than your “queen” (....if she EVER wrote one song by herself, that is. I very much doubt it.) for asking a normal question which she even WROTE was not meant to shade anyone.

9/11 toofers are Qanon. You believe 1 stupid conspricy theory you believe them all even if they directly contradict each other. Show me someone that says Monsanto is da debil and I will show you an anti vaxxer. Its why Qanon is so big in the “wellness” industry.
