as much as it pains me to say this: Johnson's right. this woman spends way too much time taking people - other women, specifically - to task for failing to live up to moral standards which she herself cannot uphold. if her online persona wasn't so relentlessly moralistic, Johnson wouldn't have even bothered with this.…

Very true. Studios and investors favor stories that are for and about white people. Usually men. Almost always straight. That's why I prefer television these days. It still has a ways ago but the diversity problem is nowhere near as bad.

It's a feedback loop, not merely a matter of symptom v. disease. Nominations don't merely reflect, they affect.

Exactly. And the solution isn't to scramble looking for women and minorities to give token nominations to come awards season. You have to start upstream, giving women and minority directors more opportunities to make quality films, and women and minority actors better roles in movies. Trying to compensate for that…

Agreed. Those at the top of the Hollywood power hierarchy are mostly men.

It's actually disgusting how smug and ignorant most white Canadians are about our country's past, and current race relations. We are not one little bit better than American's in that arena.

And yet many of my fellow Canadians believe they hold some kind of moral superiority over our neighbours to the south. We've all got work to do.

First thing I thought!

Since the budget per year was in the $200,000-$250,000 range, I doubt anyone was paid all that much. Plus, the actors were working without a contract so it's possible that salaries increased over time but, again, not by much.

Your GF is a genius. I may swap out the Gos for Idris in this years fantasy draft of "people I would totes be allowed to fuck within an inch of their lives and not get busted for it" draft.

you two have EXCELLENT taste

I don't know how he continues to dodge chasing some young black kids screaming the N word while throwing rocks at them . He shoulda been Pawler Deaned.

We have an Armond White gimmick poster here? I am pleased

Give yourselves a pat on the back white people. Also, every movie sucked.

Yeah, but Sleeper, The Purple Rose Of Cairo and Zelig really are.
