I can't remember who said it, but I love the definition of "spiritual" as "afraid to go to hell but too lazy to go to church."

Aya Cash has certainly got it going on, if I may say so.

Funny, cause I'd argue "you guys" have raised the bar for what constitutes racism so high that you can let yourself off the hook unless you're actually murdering black people. Fuck, even then there's usually an excuse.

I dunno, Judd Apatow's contributions are pretty widely acknowledged, aren't they?

We all know heathen Chinee money doesn't count and is disqualified thusly.

I would be so happy just cranking out fancy grilled cheeses for people, I can't even tell you.

Good job Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies and virtually anyone who was involved with them also have nothing to do with this so Rmlohner's point remains completely untouched by your burning hatred of all things MCU.

Our right wing party is just as bad, maybe worse.

No!

"A…napron?"

Ugh, no need, I'm Australian. If we could get through a fucking *week* without a blackface incident it would be a miracle.

It's written in a snide and shitty manner but I don't entirely or even mostly disagree. I like the movie more than him, but other than that…

Oh yeah, totally! Sorry if I wasn't clear - I was agreeing with you about the Democratic Party. They're almost as much of a market fundamentalist group as the Republicans, they just pay lip service to "having conversations" about identity politics too.

I don't think anyone likes Sean Penn these days, left or right. He's just such a turd.

WHY ARE YOU CENSORING HOLLYWOOD, FASCIST?

Mmmm, love that embrace of the neoliberal consensus by "progressives."

Just seems weird to get mad at an article for making a point you clearly think needs making.

That's the one that counterbalances the entire history of blackface in Western culture and makes its continued use perfectly acceptable, right?

You're acting like this isn't the actual subject of the article you're commenting on, ffs.

I didn't read Taibbi's comments about DKR, but I do think there's a compelling argument to be made that the Nolan Batman movies have an underlying neo-conservative bent, or perhaps more accurately given Nolan's background a classic elitist Tory one.
