I didn’t intend to write it this, to be honest, but it is apposite that it should work both ways :-)

In fairness, Purple Noon was released thirty nine years before The Talented. And with a name like Purple Noon, people may not have known it was an adaptation unless they were explicitly told.

Whoever did the casting deserves a god-damned medal.

Jesus Christ everything about this new Justice League cut is embarrassing.

I probably wont see it but Flula Borg and Steve Agee landing roles in something huge like this is hilarious and cool

Well Steve Agee is no Ron Funches, but I’m good with it. It seems they’re sticking with a similar type of character as the cartoon, which I like. 

This looks great. James Gunn at least seems to “get” what a Suicide Squad movie should be more than Ayer did. From this point on I’m avoiding all trailers for this so as not to spoil who is just a cameo and dies early. Will it only be the z-list names, or are some of the bigger names red herrings?

The costumes look comic book-y as hell, and I’m very, very here for that.

And Peter Capaldi as The Thinker!

That’s a lot of Z-list characters. I like that!

I’m just gonna remind everyone that up until the Countdown to Infinite Crisis, Maxwell Lord not only had nothing to do with Wonder Woman, he was also not a villain. Hell, Martian Manhunter read his mind, found he wasn’t a bad person, and gave him a JLI Badge.

Right?! I could understand Oxford, Harvard, Princeton but USC?

I still can’t get over the fact that they spent half a million and ended up with jail time to get two people into USC. 

That’s NOT a little pile of Coco Puffs in the yard.

2 months. Sounds about white.

I kind of get her frustration, though. I grew up with a combination of white and Asian cultures (Japanese adoptive grandmother and half-Korean mother) within a family that loves food and cooking, and I was totally that kid who was considered weird in the 90s for having Japanese curry, furikake and rice, sushi, kimchi,…

It’s a bit more subtle and hurtful than that. A lot of kids from other cultures are bullied relentlessly for eating “weird” foods, and a lot of them give up or insist to their families that they can’t eat those foods anymore, which creates an internal spiral of hurt. It is particularly bad for immigrant or first…

The complaint stuck me as a high school comic book fan trying to act as the gatekeeper to who can call themselves a fan. There are a lot of legit gripes in the article, but anger over the increasing popularity of kimchi feels way off.

“Park is particularly angry to see that the same foods she was mocked for eating as a kid—kimchi, gochujang—have become trendy and profitable once they were “discovered” by white people.”

‘Authenticity’ in food is bullshit anyway. The history of humanity since the beginning has been movement across the globe, and with it the mixing of cultures and ideas and flora and fauna. So basically all food is fusion.
