But isn't that because they've refused to offer it?

Columbia Maryland is not well to do in the affluenza way. It is well to do compared to Baltimore.

OK, well then don’t try to “suggest” what kind of music I like. I am a writer; lyrics are important to me too. But if you’re not able to sing or play instruments, you should be a poet or write songs for actual musicians. In Macklemore’s case, he isn’t even good at that. He’d probably be better off just getting a job…

yes. Simplistic, surface level lyrics and terrible garbage talentless music. Not sure where you think we disagree.

Very pretty! Apparently it is Wentworth Miller and he is from Prison Break. way too chiseled to play MJ IMO but mmmmm.

There are plenty of roles like that to focus on. For another recent one, Johnny Depp in the Lone Ranger, crying that he’s a 50th Cherokee or whatever so it’s OK. And I truly don’t think that it’s up to random internet commenters to decide which actors can truly capture the right anguish for the movie. Let’s see the…

I have what I consider an undiagnosed case of facial blindness and also don't pay much attention to celebrities outside of gawker. Who is this?

I had to google her, so I'm not familiar with her acting, but I can see the resemblance even. We need to cast this thing ourselves!

Because MJ whitewashed himself. This isn't black face. The man in question had a white face.

Shit, I got two cate blanchett suggestions and two tildas, an now I'm just pissed they cast some dude instead of a lady.

I mean it certainly doesn't keep me up at night. Wouldn't recognize this guy in any circumstances and never think of him but yes, his type of nonsensical talentless scum somehow being relevant and popular worries me on a grand scale about general intelligence.

Yes well all the other white liberals ignore him for the same reasons. The ones who aren't deaf, anyway.

Well it sucks, and it’s stupid, and it felt like it took hours to scroll past, and all my points still stand.

Kara Brown is so boring and needs a new hobby.

You could have saved yourself several hours of typing. What do white liberals fear about Macklemore? That music that god awful and talentless is considered music and being celebrated. The fact that this hack is still in the public sphere makes me very nervous for America, its people, and the future. It’s no mystery…

Right? This one doesn’t bother me so much. It’s like oh, ok, I’ll see that.

Realistically, who is supposed to play MJ? It could be any combination of black, white, male, female- and they’d probably do a great job. With all that man’s modifications, it’s down to acting chops. Don’t think Fiennes is actually much lighter than MJ ended up being. It’s not exactly a role for Idris Elba.

Hahahahaha seriously? You suck

I dunno, I was with you for some of that, and maybe supportive is the right word even, but I can’t consider the Kardashians a healthy family. My internet-commenter psych degree says distancing yourself from the spotlight and a family like that might be the most healthy thing to do.

With Trump news, I veer between laughing uproariously as though it’s performance art and deep, deep despair about what people in this country have come to and how stupid some of them are. Today is a depression day.
