It was pretty terrible. And I'm a Snyder apologist.

Molly's "type" is a big part of her problem. I want to see her open her heart and mind a little more.
TS muthafuckin A!
Yup, thought that was him.
I was kind of hoping something would happen with the cute, chubby guy she was skyping with. Although he might be gay, need to watch again to see if I get a gay vibe.
He called atheists idiots, and seconds later pulled out the "if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" argument, without a shred of irony.
It seems like the reality she wants to depict is safer, more palatable, and less thematically complex than the alternative, so good for her?
Yeah, if I want to look at pretty things for two hours I can watch my firestick screensaver. It's cheaper.
Well, you offered a comparison to the situation at hand by writing that living around a small amount of black people didn't make you a racist. Sorry if I misinterpreted that statement, but you sort of invited me to. And an artist absolutely has the right to put what they want in their movies, and I have the right to…
If they adapt a property with integral non-inuit characters, and remove those characters for no other reason besides the fact that they can't wrap their minds around writing them, in spite of what is most likely limitless resources at their disposal, including the original source material, then yes, they are. And why…
No, it would not be false. She's never been a man, she's never lived in the 19th century, yet she feels she can capably depict these things. Why not hire a consultant? Why not do some research? Why is the answer always leaving women of color out of narratives that should reasonably include them? We're people, not…
Never seen it. But technically everyone is ethnic, as everyone has an ethnicity. She is still pretty firmly accepted as white in America, and appears to identify best with white women. Maybe a different word choice would have been stronger, but my point stands. Only being able to handle one race of character is an…
I liked the Virgin Suicides a lot and rewatch it often. Didn't care for Lost In Translation. I feel she's very much a stylist, her actual themes are nothing special, which is why I give Jeffrey Eugenides more credit for my enjoyment of Suicides than her. It's such a close adaptation I see watching it as a faster way…
Yeah, I don't understand people's defense of her in this. She may not be a racist, I have no way of knowing that, but she's certainly lazy and risk-averse. And I feel like if critics acknowledged that then she and other filmmakers who've used the "I don't know how ethnic people work" excuse would take it more…
OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!
Oh for fuck's sake!
You know, for once I'd like to see the SJW community call a white filmmaker's refusal to cast diversely (in situations that call for it no less) for what it really is, a serious and concerning creative limit. Dear filmmakers, if you seriously can't figure out how to write a character of a different ethnicity than…
I thought this was an adaptation of Rainbow Rowell's delightful novel and got all excited. Boo.
I think one of the only white guys who's ever pulled it off in a comedy routine is Louis CK. Because I'm sorry, calling a deer the N-word is just so nonsensical that it's hilarious to me (although I won't harp on anyone who took offense). Maher calling himself a house n****r isn't funny at all. It just reeks of "look…
It's pretty obvious that they're not black. And I think it's fine for black people and no one else to use it, I don't think white people's opinion on the word matters or should be considered, and I think it's hilarious how butthurt certain white people get about that being the general rule. And yes, I am black.
