Clueless the movie is from 1995. According to most metrics a lot of Gen Xers were still teenagers in 1995.

Not saying that there wasn't a "no interracial dating" policy in play here - it might have been, though it could as well have been a studio demand, so don't just blame the writer - but I don't see your problem with the result here. Black couples do exist in real life. And they're both written well, and the coupling

It isn't. Like I said, Cher already was pretty happy throughout the movie. Are you really complaining that she also gets a boyfriend on top of everything else in the end?

I was a gay teenager in 12th grade pining for a straight class mate and constantly listening to Boys For Pele and Murder Ballads.

No one forces the two black kids to only date each other, and Cher is already happy, she needs to become an unselfish person to find love.

Swingers is great, but it wouldn't crack my Top 5.

Well, any excuse I have for telling my one Macarena-anecdote:
My most hated class in film school was the one semester of screenwriting taught by a director who told us daily that we should always meticulously research everything - from the setting of our stories up to what our protagonists may have eaten for breakfast

Can we vote on who you will cut?

I only read A Song of Ice and Fire back then, but your book series sounds intriguing.

"Arguably" Scream?

Can it be two things?

"I get it", says pony clearly not getting it.

Well, you were wording that very confusingly, but yes, I actually agree, Fassbender should have won for 12 Years A Slave. His best performance was as Steve Jobs though.

Call me crazy, but I feel weird calling a guy a child rapist just because he married an adult woman (who wasn't his stepdaughter).

No. They sometimes put CO-LEADS into the supporting category, and it mostly just happens to actresses. There's no way that a clear lead like Michael Fassbender in Shame would have been nominated for Supporting Actor because there was nothing else to support. Don't invent cases that never happened.

We had more movies about secret agents than about superheroes in 2015, and yet no ones complains about "spy movie fatigue".

Jared Leto is a Supporting Actor in Dallas Buyer Club, and Michael Fassbender is the lead in Shame so they weren't even in the same category, but don't let facts confuse you.

There's a video on YouTube of Germans trying to say squirrel if you want to be amused for a minute before the weight of the world kills all the joy of life again.

I watched all of Faking It and yet you're still alone in thinking that.

Never mind Alicia Silverstone, whatever happened to David Lascher? He was on Hey Dude, Blossom, Clueless, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, so he worked throughout the 90s and then basically vanished. Is he the forgotten heartthrob of that decade?
