I’m trying to track when everyone decides to hate Lin Manual Miranda.  He didn’t get #MeToo’d. He didn’t say anything racist or homophobic.  He’s made a few movies and worked on a few soundtracks and now everyone is like he sucks and he has always sucked.  Did we all really hate Mary Poppin’s return so much that we…

Articles like this make everything worse. Goldberg’s convoluted faux pas went unnoticed by virtually everyone outside of those who make their living generating click bait. They don’t care about inflaming people as long as they make their daily quota.

Yeah, people like to go overboard in declaring that, say, the Irish were considered non-white, but that was never the case, either culturally or legally. BUT...there was always a fairly obvious and clear-cut white immigrant racial hierarchy, based in part on skin color (pale Scandinavians versus darker-skinned…

“Living in your head rent free” is this decade’s “I know you are but what am I?” It doesn’t have to make sense in context, it’s just a display of contempt.

They don't even exist in my head until I click on a story that I might want to read, only to be immediately turned off by shitty writing. 

“Billboard, which lives for this kind of granular analysis, points out that the enormous array of celebrities singing on “We Are The World” were only credited as USA For Africa, so… it sucks to be them.”

Fight Club is one of those works that seems to be least understood by its biggest fans.

Too soon!

For the first 5 minutes, he's glorious.  But then he falls flat and by the end, he just kinda sits there.

Meh, he was a little stiff.

Yeah, this is pretty much a non-story.

It is, but management have their new directives. Have to get those clicks!

Isn’t this pretty much the way it always is? After they cut the film, they decide something isn’t working and needs to be re-shot or needs another little bit to make it work. That’s what “pick ups” are.

In the movie they LOOK relatively human, but then so do some of the dwarves from LOTR films. It literally never once occurred to me that the movie was intended to be Snow White and the Seven Human Little People Who Are Shamed and Hounded by Society into Living Alone in the Woods and Working Underground.

Yeah, and when a guy who actually belongs to the group speaks up about insulting it is, the onus is on society to listen and have the uncomfortable conversation. “It’s not you being demeaned; it’s a fairy tale race with the same name and defining characteristic!” isn’t really a compelling defense. It just seems like a…

Are the dwarfs supposed to be humans with dwarfism or are they their own separate species like other fantasy works though? 

Watched this yesterday and they don’t mention Peleton by name, but we all know what it is, and we also know that an exercise bike doesn’t kill people, because unlike Peleton we aren’t fucking stupid.

So why’s she only speaking up NOW?!

BREAKING: Green has revealed how back in 1997 she was forced into accepting the knee-high boots and eye-candy persona by the director of her first ad, Joss Whedon.

First they came for the rabbits, and I did not speak up, for I didn’t get off to rabbits...
