…I confess that I didn't totally understand what was going on in Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Panther. And it wasn't because I had never read Black Panther. I just don't know enough about African mythology and sociology to be able to understand the comic.

The very title of this article made me feel exhausted.

I'd pay good money to see the actors try to do the stunts that they do in the movies. Which is kind of like saying I'd pay to see a snuff film, now that I think about it.

When I saw the title of this article I was really hoping Clone High would show up. Fuckin' loved that show. It was a shame that MTV had to cancel it because 100 Indians hunger-fasted in front of the Viacom offices in India. No, really. They did.

I noticed that this episode (or the one before it, I forget) mentioned that there had been one human to be hurt and escape from the zoo before, but we don't know who that is (yet).

The steps are: 1. Basecoat. 2. Wash. 2. Drybush. 4. Details. But the "Details" step has like 12 mini-steps if you want to win Golden Demon, which I competed in. Was blown out of the water.

C'mon! Compared to everything else on the minifig, the fur is so easy to paint!

Why didn't they just make the The Ancient One a Nepalese Buddhist monk instead of a Tibetan Buddhist monk instead of a white person? So many bad decisions in this movie.

The movie wasn't the worst movie, but it's got to be up there with the Thor movies and that Hulk movie with Norton that nobody bothered to see. But mostly I found his terrible accent super distracting. He was trying so hard to sound American and failing so badly.

Damnit! This is like, the one character in the MCU that I legitimately do not care for. Mostly because his American accent is super duper bad.

I have a friend who's a producer, and he says that as much as he would love to see diversity in movies (he doesn't work on casting, and he mostly does documentaries), the studios are totally uninterested because the international market is remarkably uninterested. There's still a premium on white skin - even in

Turns out this was the year that movies in theaters officially got too expensive for me to see, because I cut my trips to the theater WAY back, reserving them for movies I either really wanted to see on the big screen (Captain America: Civil War), movies I needed to see to stay awake during a period of jetlag

Man, I know this isn't the focus of the series, but wow, Rhodesia was a super racist idea.

Does Claire NEED a self-defense class? Really? Because we kind of have proof that she doesn't.

"We found about 400 newly-fired guns in the building and a lot of people riddled with bullets but we're pretty sure Luke Cage did it."

Hell, even Scott Glenn couldn't convincingly say those lines about magic ninjas, and he's a great actor.

Full confession: I only know about her bionic arm because I play "Avengers Academy" which is an awful, awful game.

Yes, this is correct. Claire Temple and Night Nurse are different characters in the comics, and Marvel has said they will be different people in the MCU.
