Just to be clear....Your argument is that we stopped treating transpeople like sideshows is enough for you to go shout at clouds?

I’m just trying to grasp the issue here. I’m 36, I hang out and D&D for a group of 12-30 year olds (mixed in two different groups). I’m definitely not the most socially conscious person in…

That’s what I was implying. I mean, the bug people of the Federation are crude but the detail in the citadel of Ricks, their various locations, Chits and Bitz is just immaculate for the crudeness of the core duo. It’s why they get a far bigger pass because every week they’re basically creating new aliens/creatures…

I hadn’t watched FG in years and I just happened to tune in for a recent episode, it’s somehow just as poorly animated and now only about 1/10th as funny as it used to be.  What’s interesting is the one show that MacFarlane is only doing voice work for is American Dad and it remains significantly more entertaining and…

Netflix needs to start operating from a centralized base though, in the long term they need to work with an organization that can make filming reasonably cheap even if on-site locations are a strong preference anymore.  Getting into bed with a mid-major studio gives them those connections that they need and getting…

I think R&M isn’t particularly bad looking, they do a lot more effort in the overall design than the quality.  Also, the action and effort in their movements does carry over at times.  I’ve seen the previews and a few YouTube clips....this does not.

No, that’s straight up Discount R&M.  Family Guy was the trend of adult cartoons becoming far worse looking.  The Simpsons were a certain style but had depth, Futurama was drawn using computers but still had depth and flow.  FG is generally where the simplistic level of illustration came into vogue and then Bob’s…

Netflix’s model is about keeping subscriptions up while making shows to keep said subscriptions up. If you’ve got 73M subscribers with an average value of around $12 a month (probably closer to $13) that’s 876M a month, factor in the ENORMOUS cost of older licensed shows they don’t own and will forever be paying on…

I can’t even remember it beyond it being terrible and they explained the age gap between Carrell and Hathaway as ‘cosmetic surgery’ because she was the same age.  

Are they really different trajectories?  I mean, I was taking the polite road, you were taking the more realistic one..Both result in the same sort of fervor.  It really depends on if the Bond franchise backs off OR if the knock off goes full KKK in their desperation.  We’ve already found that defending whiteness…

I figured as much, what you’ll see is the first movie will do relatively well, maybe not outsell the official Bond film and then they’ll fade because Bond has the cache of cultural significance.  

Generally Bond-esque parodies die after the first 2 or 3 (Flint, Austin Powers, etc...) because they’re usually built on one actor and generally are cheaper knockoffs of the higher quality product. With Craig stepping down here and the likely next 007 being a PoC or a woman for atleast a movie or two I find it hard to…

He sounds like a Kubrick-type, not somebody I think is an awesome person but nothing that is so extraordinary in the field of film that he should be crucified.  His personal foibles are his own.  I thought there was a casting couch incident when this first got exposed but nothing really ever came of it and nobody…

Loy being defacto owner doesn’t mean jack shit to the courts and I get the argument, that he can kill them but he’s in a war. He can’t afford the Smutny’s making a legal scene really. Ethelrida is right, they’ve got the bodies, the signed for payments, and frankly too many funerals in a few days/weeks to have Loy…

I imagine that’s exactly who they want given that the perceived Jeopardy winners are essentially in that stereotypical mode and so is Ken Jennings to some extent...

LeVar Burton is an interesting pick but he has depth and personality that being an MC of a gameshow kind of doesn’t need?  Alex Trebek was more notorious for being the sort of stern teacher with a heart of gold than deeply charismatic.  I would love to see Burton get it because he’s a good man and deserves every job…

I’m not here to defend Sia, her statements were flatout awful.  I think if anything, the argument is a weird two-front affair where some are discussing representation as a whole and some are asking why aren’t more X people cast in Y roles.  Especially when we already have a surplus supply of actors so much so that…

Yeah, it’s clear you’re no longer talking about anything I’m talking about.

Thanks, i’ll be sure to make note of that at the next quarterly meeting. 

You call it a kid’s cartoon show? You’re going to have to elaborate on that point.

Also, I think we need to stop pretending we’re all the same in this argument. If you can’t run a 4.4 40 you’re not going to the NFL. If you have a mental disability/cognitive difficulty you’re handicapped and we should help you live and…

Acting jobs are less about inherent ability and more about availability. We need more data analysts than we need actors. Nobody is stopping you from chasing either but the probability of getting one or the other is significantly higher for the more broadly available position.
