Frankly I wish that Will and Jada would just go away. I feel about them the same way I feel about Kanye and Kim. For several years now we have had to hear about every detail of their lives from them. Just go away already. 

The WTF moment was not when Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Smith. The WTF moment was when Will Smith got up from his seat, walked onto stage, and slapped Chris Rock in front of the world. Please don’t make the story about the dumb joke. The dumb joke did not make Will Smith get up there and smack Chris Rock. Will

I wish he died.

My lord, every aspect of black pain and trauma and annihilation is being exploited for wealth and fame these days. Let’s be clear about something, this bullshit opera is not about educating or uplifting the black masses, its about enriching and building up the resumes of the white so- called artists and their

“While we feel for the Black people involved in this opera, we do not support the rehashing of Black trauma for white entertainment. By centering a white character in a story of Black trauma, the librettist, Clare Coss takes an experience she has no claim to and centers whiteness.”

I’m just not sure how well a subject of this gravity would be served with an opera. I know they aren’t the same, but I can’t help but think of the short-lived show Cop Rock, and how it didn’t work at all because of the dissonance between the subject matter and the delivery.

i don’t think Disney is pulling this stuff out for this kids. they’re doing it out of fear of the parents. they don’t want to deal with the pearl clutching adults who will complain, call for boycotts, and otherwise cause them unexpected trouble, so they just avoid it altogether. and now that removing stuff is causing

Me: “I don’t care if Star Wars explores new characters/locations or just keeps using the same ones, as long as they can handle basic narrative storytelling, which they have completely failed to do in every live-action project for the last five years.”

I loved the Fallout games, but damn, I don’t like factions. My backlog is too long and my life is too busy to be replaying these games just to get different endings. That includes the NPC quests for Elden Ring. I’m having a blast with it, but when I’m stuck, and I do even a small amount of googling, I almost always

If I was that girl’s dad, you’d have to put me in prison for the rest of my life after the violence I would commit to anyone I could find involved in violating my daughter. Holy shit those people are animals. 

as not-Muslim-but-still-brown guy who grew up in the 80's/90's, i was joking-but-not-really-joking the other day that it will be nice to have the Russians as the bad guys again.

Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Original Story was So Grim, It Got Rewritten

I want to be clear that, if they’ve come up with a great story, then that is good. I’ve voiced my excitement for this show many times, and it’s long been known that it would be set in between the prequels and the OT. BUT…

The songs all have that very very generic “broadway” sound from decades ago.

Free tickets are a hard thing to pass up but I would walk away. Live musicals are just amazing and I have done my best to give every reboot a shot but this? This is Princess Bride reboot level of sacrilege in my eyes.

“In my day, we climbed up 2 stories and WROTE on highway signs! With paint! From a can! Now, there’s no art to it, just bippty buttons!

I mean, he’s wrong too. While Europe has had markedly fewer wars than most other areas during his life (likely having more to do with the EU or being allies of the US or USSR against the other during the cold war (and neither super power wanting direct conflict)). Russia has invaded Georgia multiple times, and also

McD’s didn’t care. They make the franchisees pay the repairs...

Bruckheimer produces a lot of exciting adventure films, so I can imagine a cool trailer that would get people caught up in the hype, but will they get caught up in the... CROSSFIRE!
