For such a classy movie you would’ve thought they’d spring for a hand stunt double. This is cheap. A homeless person could’ve done better.

“My dad died in Vietnam. He’s a hero.”

Johnny Depp’s fingers are way too long.

They got the VHS visual texture just right. Well done!

This may be the best thing Johnny Depp has ever done.

At one job where I was a hiring manager, I actually had to tell the owner that I would not, under any circumstances, hire any more of his friend’s kids (or kids’ friends). In my experience, people who got the job through nepotism tended to have no appreciation of the job, and hence, not necessarily feel like they…

I think actually the biggest issue is that in prestige careers almost everybody is hired through somebody they know. People are not getting hired from their resumes. Maybe accountants or something but definitely not writers for television shows. And people’s social circles are generally limited by their racial,…

I don’t know, for me there’s a difference between the “good” kind of silly and the “bad” kind. No one can say Guardians of the Galaxy or LEGO Movie aren’t silly and fun, but there’s something about them that set them apart from this kind of silly. Tastes of course vary, but that’s my humble opinion.

“...before any candidate resume went to the HR department, they had someone black out the name and anything else that suggested the race or gender of the applicant.”

Her orange skintones in the Bay movies made me think of Janice from the Muppets.

The magic of (the good versions of) TMNT is that it takes its silly premises and builds something compelling, epic and funny. This doesn’t look anything like it.

Same here. I’m pretty sure that was a condition in Ad Rock’s will.

I'm confused by that - I thought the beastie boys didn't allow their songs to be used in ads.

I was more offended by the use of “No Sleep till Brooklyn” in the ad.

Nothing says “we only put you in the movie because we need a sexy lady to bring in the dads” like a single 2-second catwalk shot. And she’s nowhere else in the trailer.

Definitely. Pretty much everyone is going to privilege, say, the person who went to an Ivy on Mommy and Daddy’s dime, then had a year or two of unpaid internships while continuing to live off their parents, over the person who put themself through state school waiting tables while caring caring for a child or elderly…

This is assuming all resumes get read before being rejected. So many people (OK white male people) get a dad, uncle, brother in law or , surprise, a fraternity brother to hand theirs directly to the powers that be. I’ve seen too many instances to count of a company wanting to hire someone, tasking HR to figure out…

Jesus, that isn’t just white, that’s “I haven’t seen the sun in years,” pale white. I would check their teeth for fangs if they weren’t already able to take photographs.

So much of it just comes down to unconscious bias. People see two resumes (or portfolios, or bodies of work, or whatever) and automatically privilege the white guy’s without even realizing they’re doing it. They honestly believe they’re picking the most qualified candidate; they just don’t realize how much race and…

if it was then wouldn’t gawker have done it already
