It’s become cliché to observe that any meaningful art seems to speak directly to our current predicament

Or, you could not be a dick. I watched this show months ago which is why I want to hear other peoples’ opinions. It’s called interest in having a conversation not just prioritizing my opinion. Nice try, though.

The movie looks great but the trailer was kind of lame.

Interesting take! I’d like to read more comments to see what the vibe is from general consumers, both white and black. I haven’t trawled Black Twitter for reactions yet and I’m very interesting to hear takes on this show.

the 1999-2000 season gave us Freaks And Geeks, Mission Hill, and Clerks: The Animated Series, as well as Malcolm In The Middle

Sitcoms rebounded, obviously, the seeds of their reinvention sprouting from the premiere of the BBC’s The Office a year later

I think you’re being a tad hyperbolic here.

I don’t think the screenshot of an e-mail basically saying he hung up on the investigator without discussing any details is quite the proof of willing cooperation that he thinks it is.

I agree in general, however, that movie

Yeah, most people in Asia don't really care much about the whitewashing stuff. It's more the appropriation that hollywood does to eastern cultures that ticks them off. That example was an odd choice to use in the review.

“A few years ago, this U.S./China co-production might’ve been the victim of Hollywood whitewashing (see: The Great Wall),”

As an amateur Nolanologist, I’ve come to the conclusion he gets his plot motives from a small set of anxieties. Underneath the pseudo-cerebral exterior, he’s an innocently personal filmmaker who loves James Bond movies and airplanes. He is, in modern parlance, a classic dad and total wife guy. Also note that while…

I think this whole situation is so interesting for the ways in which it highlights the markedness of non-white people and identities in US society. Missy’s character is biracially half-white and Jewish, so Jenny Slate wasn’t altogether inappropriate as a voice actor on that premise. But to US culture, her blackness…

I went to a 10th anniversary IMAX screening of Inception just three days ago. God, what an excellent film. I’m still gobsmacked that it got eight Oscar noms, but none for directing or editing... utterly nonsensical.

The only thing at all innovative about the “song” is how bereft of music and art it is. It makes “Boom Boom Pow” sound like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” It’s a track the audience for “Ow! My Balls!” in Idiocracy would think is worthy of more than half a listen.

This is probably going to be a controversial opinion, and my apologies if this offends anyone, but I liked Freaks and Geeks and thought it was too bad that it only lasted a season.

But Cardi’s response does succinctly touch on Baskin’s arguably biggest claim to fame, which makes any public pearl-clutching on her part a little laughable for a while, at least. Hopefully everyone will soon learn that it’s perfectly fine to simply not like— and even critique!—the song without accusing the…

Nope, you remember it perfectly. It is not a good film, and will not ever actually be due for a reappraisal.

“Toxic.” A word that, like “racist,” “fascist,” “-istphobic,” and all the rest, has been so over-mis-used so as to lose not only it’s meaning, but it’s sting.

Haha, oh my god is this true. I can’t watch the new ones without losing my mind and annoying people at how many times someone basically says: “We shouldn’t do this, it’s against protocol.” Followed by some action that basically says “To hell with protocol!” They’ve taken the lackadaisical laziness of space working Joe’…
