Look, if you’ve never seen a horror movie or a cheesy thriller in an audience full of black folks giving directions and making jokes toward the film, then:

It’s the collapse of the rom-com, IMO. I feel like there are people who should have bigger careers (Alison Brie is in this category) who would find the most success via the rom-com.

I guess “Sonic and friends as freedom fighters (OR ARE THEY TERRORISTS?!?!) fighting to free Mobius from dictator Robotnik was never going to play very well with movie execs, but that’s about the only way I can see a Sonic the Hedehog film working.

I *am* a black person in the real world. A significant amount of us do care about shit like this, even outside of the Twitter bubble (and no, I don’t post on Twitter).

So, Hellboy drops a lot of f-bombs in this movie, fine, fine, but does he at least say “pamcakes” once?!

“The Amazing Screw-On Head” might be the biggest disappointment I’ve had about one of Bryan Fuller’s shows being gone too soon. At least “Wonderfalls” got a whole season’s worth of episodes made and put on DVD; all I have of “Screw-On Head” is that one fantastic pilot episode that I watch every year or so. Ah, what…

No, that’s not what I said. I didn’t say “critics who don’t like it are racist.” You either can’t read or are just disingenuous, and based on your inability to post a cogent thought in this thread, it’s tricky to know which.

The daughter of a Boer empathizing with Megyn Kelly? Well, I’ll never!

Why is it that a black director who is hyped gets the “I hope this isn’t because of his race” treatment, but white (male, tbf) directors who get hyped never receive the same concern?

It wouldn’t be hard considering their explicit support of his policies aimed toward brown, black, and LGBT folks that they supported by, you know, voting for him. 

Oh no, the person who is uniformly against racism and homophobia is acting as closed-minded toward people who believe in those things as the people who love racism and homophobia act toward those who believe in basic human decency.

This will certainly be a minority opinion, but I was quite disappointed with this episode, and ultimately, this season as well. I don’t think any of the Chidi/Eleanor relationship stuff has really been earned, so I wasn’t left with much impact from it. In general, the romantic relationship stuff with Chidi and Eleanor…

Sure. And others, in turn, have the right to mock and laugh at those who are contemptuous of such private organizations and people.

Emptiness of the plot aside, I hope that this episode is well-received by Netflix audiences so maybe we’ll have a shot at getting a Life’s Lottery Netflix movie.

I don’t think that Captain America is a good movie, but it’s a shockingly good period piece. The way that it looks is really the only reason to endure it.

Carden just NAILED everyone’s cadences and body language. She was pretty much comedic fucking genius tonight. Amazing. 

I’d be glad to support the people who lose their jobs. I voted for the party that will secure a social safety net.

The point is that I love The Lion King and will go see a new version of it?

I didn’t think that any of it worked, but part of the problem is that I had already cast it in my head with four other women whom I wanted to see, and I wasn’t excited for the cast. I’m especially not a Kristen Wiig fan, so her addition hurt the film for me (though she was fine in it).

This was a good episode, as was last week’s. This season is picking up nicely.
