that didn't seem like a problem for the sex and the city prequel.

are you under the impression that i thought i was talking to the showrunner, and that i count for a majority share of the ratings? who's threatening? i was commiserating on an article that shared a similar viewpoint.

sick burn, buddy.

rip vicki :(

i thought elizabeth hurley sold the spare material she was given. heather graham, while she seems like a lovely person, was blank behind the eyes. i never understood why she kept getting hired. she was a cipher.

i did the eyeroll so hard it gave me spins when i heard about the big bang spinoff. little sheldon and his racist religious mom. sign me up or whatever.

you think there are no trans teens who act, given the high proportion of LGBT kids in every theater program in every high school since the beginning of time? trans kids have just as much desire to add to the world through creativity (art, writing, acting) as other kids.

my niece and nephews are more into star wars, supergirl, and mcu than i am at this point. i basically introduced them, then got lost in my angry nerd nitpicking while they've retained the rose-colored enthusiasm of childhood. it's nice to share fandoms.

i didn't say blackface causes suicides, either, so you continue to confuse me

STRAW MAN STRAW MAN STRAW MAN STRAW MAN STRAW MAN

lazy and irresponsible is now code for hate crime. okay, straaaaaw maaaaaan. straw man straw man straw man straw man.

i haven't shifted anything. from the beginning i've been saying that the default should be to cast trans roles with trans actors. maybe there would be outliers here and there, but right now those aren't exceptions, they're the majority. as a cis woman, i don't feel threatened by louie anderson playing a middle-aged…

i haven't seen it, but given that you have and it exists, their freedom was not infringed on just because the majority of creators now cast female roles with women.

and he was sparkling to meet in person. i waited 2 or 3 hours to see him at a book signing and he got through everyone packed into that tiny bookshop. when i asked him what franchise he wishes he could've been a part of, he said he wanted to be edward from twilight.

sad that he was less than 70 at the time of that story, but still. better a home health aide than a shitty nursing home.

in shakespeare's day, cis men used to play all the women's roles. now there is a new standard, with a few exceptions (kids in the hall, hairspray, bob's burgers). does it inhibit the freedom of creators for everyone to agree that cis women should play cis women?

they should make this a double-feature with the imaginarium of dr parnassus, heath ledger's last movie, directed by pythoner terry gilliam.

tropic thunder, it's always sunny in philadelphia, and whichever recent oscars billy crystal busted out his sammy davis jr impression say hi. that's not a rule. it's a standard. because society slowly began to agree that blackface is gross and racist. why should filmmakers not be second-guessed? i'm a consumer who…

oh man, i remember that. but mostly just the reveal. "PETE!" with a giant smile on her face and i think he started crying and hugged her. i didn't remember her ever being that nice to him and suddenly it looked like they had a semi-functioning relationship after all.

idk if he's directing it, producing it, or just advising. but he defended the casting because it was his personal recommendation.
