Because narrative art is a stupid concept or won't work well in a sort of walk-through affair? I think conceptually it's interesting since we have really no museums of it in America that have substance behind them. A true movie museum would be interesting but would be hard to be effective but worthy of a try.

Eh. Apple IIs were pretty innovative compared to IBM & Commodore depending on who you talk to. I would concede that later Apple products, the Jobs Return era, certainly is more truthful as the iPod, iPhone, and iWatch were all better designs of what was already on the market.

It's understandable as Lego is basically built on the brick and the uniqueness of the marketplace for their sets.

Technically Spacey is a Lech not a pedophile. His object of attraction is post-pubescent. Neither Lolita film does a good job describing just how young Lolita really is and how undeveloped she was…

I never had the pleasure of watching the original but the Lyne version is mostly a direct retelling of the book. It does a far better job of selling Lolita as both an exploiter and exploited which is sadly more realistic than I care to think about. Course I work in the very concept of power dynamics so where Ryan is…

I suspect Leslie writes a great deal and she isn't afraid to go 'big black woman' which isn't the same as Sasheer. It's really a shame…Sasheer needs to go on a comedic sitcom where her nuanced humor would do better, sketch comedy is too big for her comfort zone.

Sad but true. I got the sense that she came across as too upper-middle class black so she got shot down for bits and probably refused more offensive black stereotype roles.

It's a Melissa McCarthy episode, there isn't much to argue about. She's going to do broad and brassy characters, you either like them or you don't. I think it was a solid outing but nothing spectacular except for the obvious Beyonce filmed piece. Overall though there wasn't a bad sketch in the lot and I appreciate…

Is it weird that as I read this exchange I find the creeping need for social acceptance less desirable in general? It isn't that either of you are poo-pooing the group and their complete lack of social regard which is actually an admirable thing. There do need to be standards, people who become unhealthy with their…

It was always trending that way, the last time I went to anthrocon was 2008 and even then it was becoming obvious more and more cosplay/fursuiting was coming into vogue as art dwindled by comparison.

So it's a reflection of the same issue with homosexuality within the mainstream of American pop culture. It threatens your masculinity at a base line so if women do it, it isn't a challenge to that heterosexual masculine identity but men who associate with what is considered a 'feminine' show (right or wrong) get…

This is an example for not just the US but North America in general: We are an island of culture. In many ways Mexico's language barrier separates them somewhat but they're culturally closer to the United States than South America (and it shows). We have so much culture, not necessarily good or bad, but an…

Ah, the old scale of relevance fallacy. By that statement alone shouldn't you be off doing something for those starving children in Africa instead of making nearly 30K awesomely snarky and lovable comments on the internet?

Ok, can we get a short story/report on how it all went down? Was there any real questioning by anybody in the office? Did anybody suspect some hellstorm to emerge or was it merely business as usual? Did you care? Also, did you find the 'In Living Color' sketch HILARIOUS? :D

The only time I find it evil to colorize things is in destruction of the original or denying circulation of the original there after. In this case it's a clear case of love by a wonderful fan (he previously colored the Addams Family which is MUCH more interesting).

That's like asking if you want to ride a rocket into space once or have the train arrive in the station on time, every time. Springsteen is undeniably the better musician within the context of the argument, he just has such better hits but he also struggled to be relevant past those great hits. Petty has been…

I think she gets to go a different route though as in Lucas' case he faced adult audiences with visual films. Basically he set himself into a very narrow path and a limited set of tools.

YES! YES THEY DO! *Runs off crying into the night sobbing over the johnny-ness of the situation*

Or, you know, hear me out….The actor portraying Johnny Blaze in the new movie wasn't playing a 'white' role but merely a role that was re-imagined to fit his actual race. In the whole montage not one character was re-imagined to be white, instead they were white actors portraying non-white (or in the case of Indian,…

I'm fine with each reference (being pointed out) except for the biblical films. Those are the ones where I would point out contextually they may have been from the middle-east and probably darker and hairier than portrayed but in present culture they were very classically viewed as white. It's different to play an…
