Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes is the lead voice in an animated musical that also has Jemaine Clement, I feel like this should be bigger news!!

I don’t know, I’m not sure if I want to go back through it forensically but from the article I reviewed his “that sounds bonkers” immediate response does not align with “I apologized for this already”--certainly not saying his behavior wasn’t terrible and racist (unlike this dude down at the bottom of the thread who…

And I don’t have to think, I know, that you are misrepresenting what I’ve said, because what I’ve said is right up there on the page. Lying about it is what it gross. “not really doing much wrong”? Because I clearly really love actions that I call “really terrible” “really egregious” “misconceived” “racist” “racist”…

“racist behavior is racist behavior, and that there aren’t degrees of racist behavior” The thing is that you have decided that it’s a distinction without a difference, and you can decide that for yourself if you want to flatten out all nuance, but it is incorrect. You have your conclusion, what need discussion or…

I am sorry, but that is simply not true. Every racist thing is not equally racist, and does not betray that the person who did it has their racism equally as deeply ingrained or that behind it is the same degree of malignancy. Otherwise a grandmother who talks too loudly at a Chinese waiter who speaks perfect english…

I am taking him at his word that he was doing, as he said, a bit. If the bit was of minstrelsy (as in “I would never seriously perform minstrelsy especially not in public so you should get this is a bit”) then nobody standing around would have possibly mistook that it was a really egregious thing to do, bit or not,…

their perception was that Cross actually meant what he said rather than that it was a very not funny and racist failed attempt at parody...you do admit that if he had really been doing that seriously it would have been worse, right? Intent is still a consideration. And I was clear that the reason it could be handled…

have you heard the story behind that? He was joking with Hoffman because Hoffman spent the whole night at Studio 54

but...I mean...movies have to be set somewhere? what if the greatest version of...i dunno...Henry V ever was set during Nam, would you avoid going to see it categorically?  Sometimes you set a movie somewhere because that’s what you can get bankrolled, if Coppola had set it during the Boer War I doubt it would have…

i have never really found Maya Rudolph funny until this episode. I mean, I enjoyed her in The Good Place and Bridesmaids, but I did not like SNL back when she was on it. I thought she did a really fantastic job and the writing for this and her timing was excellent throughout, I think the show is better than it has…

I would say that this falls short of the Lassiter standard of unsolicited hugs, especially because nobody made a complaint?  The headlines say “kissing” but kissing on the cheek is not the same thing as what that implies when put in a headline.  I have been a film extra, and I was treated like garbage, humiliated, and…

I think the other take on it was that they knew Amber Tamblyn and instead of talking to her about it, or them about it, Yi publicly tried to destroy Cross’s life and career. I’m glad he owned up and apologized, if somebody started doing minstrelsy in front of a Black person to make fun of people who would do that…

I am not really getting from this if it is a “Southland Tales” “Zardoz” level brain-scrambler..for one thing it sounds like it is probably very talky? And scripts have not been the strongest suit of Coppola’s post-2000 career. Twixt had good atmosphere and no story (if he was going to make a Stephen King character he…

Love and Thunder was a very very bad movie.  It was a shame, because Waititi and Hemsworth saved the character, and what they did worked all the way through him meeting up with the Guardians...but then it just ran out of gas.  The odd thing is that apparently there is a whole other movie L&T could have been and the…

Pretty sure this isn’t working and I didn’t get my legacy account...but after I hit publish perhaps it will magically work.
