Celebs, both internet and in general, hawk useless and snake oil products all the time. I don’t get why this time it’s a big deal.

Part of the problem is that it’s baked into the formula - if Nintendo didn’t use this same mechanic that they’ve been using since 1986 and that fans of the series understand and expect, some people would be upset. If they never relied on hidden blocks, people would say it deviated too far from the formula they… Read more
Nobody makes them as prime movers anymore. In 1987, Fatal Attraction was the 3rd highest grossing movie of the entire year, Nomadland made 3.7 million domestic (somehow 36 million international, wuh?). It’s practically an indie genre at this point.
“Honestly, I think it’s very commendable and admirable that Rae is trying to branch out of gaming. I just think that the blue light stuff is a little bit iffy.” Read more
He needs to stop turning a blind eye to these issues.
It’s also based loosely on real life events of a white guy becoming a samurai. I think they meshed like 3 or 4 different stories together but it’s really well done if you watch it and fantastically acted and representful of race and culture. This movie doesn’t belong in this list and still holds up today.
He’s dead? That might be news to him.
I’m going to be the beta cuck soyboy here: if you remember Police Academy as good-natured goofball fun, you’re remembering it wrong. From the casual, weirdly aggressive homophobia to the police dorm party where all the women are naked for no discernable reason to the exciting conclusion where an entire downtown riots… Read more
Yeah, a “prop” is literally any object used in a film/play/whatever that the actors interact with. Read more
That was my thought—I figured it was a bible study group or something, with the people (evangelicals? they always seem hungry to spread the word at the oddest of times) smiling way too much for any kid to handle.
Agreed. It’s a beautifully shot and acted film with a pretty compelling story I think. It is very easy to peg this as just another “white savior” Hollywood bullshit movie if you only watch the trailers lol. Read more
They find the use the “n word” to be funny, and completely miss the (very obvious) portrayal of the racist white folks as morons. Read more
They also lose right? So it’s not exactly savior-y.
How exactly did you, random internet commenter, “prove” from one day-after article something that took the NTSB months to determine?
I kind of disagree with The Last Samurai, it’s not really a typical “white savior” type movie. It may look like if you haven’t seen it though. It’s really about a warrior, Ken Watanabe, seeing part of himself in a fellow warrior, Tom Cruise, in this case enemy. And that other warrior, Tom Cruise, finally being able… Read more
I unfortunately know people from an older generation (young boomer and old Gen X) who completely miss the point with Blazing Saddles. They find the use the “n word” to be funny, and completely miss the (very obvious) portrayal of the racist white folks as morons. Read more
PS: I think Shallow Hal would’ve been a solid entry no this list. Opinion of the movie itself aside, I cannot see that storyline going over well today.
It means one of the good ol’ boys in blue thought that running over cyclists wasn’t no crime, and decided to do as much as they could to deep six the whole thing right from the start.
We can only hope so.
LOL wow is this ever some prime, grade A bullshit. No message means no “attempt” was actually made. Read more
