We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we…

David Brooks needs to be suppressed — in the Alice in Wonderland style — being tucked into a burlap sack and sat upon.

Sorry Steven, you’re wrong. The fact is that “TV movies” in the traditional sense barely even exist anymore beyond The Hallmark Channel. I would concede that a film designed to fit the rhythms of commercial breaks and edited for time by default is a very different beast from a theatrical film, but Netflix clearly…

I couldn’t agree more about her kids.  Frankie and Max have been absolute shits to her over and over.  Frankly, it’s her fault, though.  She lets them get away with murder all the time.  And at the end of the episode, Frankie pulls her usual snotty bullshit, and Sam caves yet again, allowing Frankie to coast on her…

extremely pleased that this show is back. fuck Louie and Dave Becky; all hail Pamela Adlon and her too-tight jeans. 🔥

Also,

I was at a close friends wedding this fall. My friend, the bride, had on a gorgeous flowing wedding gown that everyone was already fawning over. Then it came time to read vows. When my friend pulled her written vows out of a pocket in her wedding dress, people lost their minds. First we gasped, then we applauded. She…

I always thought to myself that if I had the ambition to start my own business, I’d start a clothing brand and make a point to specifically have good, deep, usable pockets on all of the women’s clothes. Also inexpensive bras.

And female employees were told that they can request to work on other projects if they aren’t comfortable with Lasseter. So they have to put their careers on hold because of a serial sexual harasser wanted more money and another chance that he took from every single female at Pixar who left because of him. No. Let him…

She really is wonderful. Beautifully worded, expressed with strength and backed up by action. 

2018 was absolutely packed with outstanding movies by black directors about black people in a variety of genres, tones and styles, and not just of the indie “one weekend in an LA theater before it goes to Netflix” variety. Given that, it’s incredibly telling that the Academy went with the racism movie written and…

As a black person, allow me to explain why movies like The Green Book are offensive: it pretends that black people need a white savior to survive. 

Actually, “Birdman,” “Spotlight” and “Moonlight” were admirable choices that hinted that maybe, finally, the Academy had turned a corner as wasn’t going to give Best Picture to “tailor-made for Oscar voters” movies. And then the next two winners... *sigh*.

I feel like 90% of the people whining about Green Book are white people

Stories like this test my humanity.  I’d love to see pedophiles and rapists get branded on their foreheads.  

The issue is that the story in the movie is 95% untrue. These two men were never friends; the driver was fired after 2 months. Mr. Shirley was not estranged from his family, didn’t have issues with his Blackness (the idea that he needed to learn to accept himself is absurd), didn’t need to be taught about Black…

I’ve been calling it “Driven by Mr. Daisy” all awards season.

Nothing fucking infuriates me more than dipshits that try to use this argument. “Look at him, does it look like he would have to rape anyone? Women throw themselves at him.” or “He’s famous, of course anyone would want to sleep with him.” FUCK THAT. It’s not about trying to get laid, it’s about these assholes that…

I started tearing up a little during the scene in the parking lot when the dog walked over to Roland,  I looked up and my dog, who’d been asleep in the bedroom, was walking out to the living room and sat next to me on the sofa.

I hope Rolland gets the closure he deserves. He shouldn’t be left thinking that he failed Julie.
