I mentioned somewhere else that I’ve been like that with inclusion and TV for a while now. Back in the early 2000s, it meant that I didn’t watch a lot of it—I still don’t actually. And I accept that I miss a lot of good shows sticking to it. But it’s been pretty awesome these days to see that there’s this emerging…

Haha I got into a silly pub argument about this recently, how it has been years and years since I’ve seen a Martin Scorsese or a George Clooney film because it feels like this is what director/producers like that do now, Big Important Major Motion Pictures About a Bunch of Serious Important Mostly White Men Doing…

I’ve really slowed down on the amount of movies I go see in theaters that are clearly “a whole bunch of guys and one woman to stand there and look hot.” I’m just not in the mood for it. But I saw Mad Max in theaters 5 times and loved it every single time. I’m dying to see Hidden Figures (work has been too crazy for me…

It took me YEARS to become OK with the fact that if there isn’t a strong female lead character I’m not interested in reading/watching etc. I thought that was picky and bitchy of me when I was younger, but honestly that shouldn’t be too high of a standard to meet. In retrospect that makes me sad and I’m glad that OS is…

This is exactly why I haven’t seen the Best Picture nominations from the past 10-20 years. Most of the plotlines were white guy-centric. I can’t identify, and I don’t care anymore.

I’ve got to tell you, if I look down a list of characters on a film, and it doesn’t have gay, African-American or Latin characters, I’m probably not going to spend my money on the ticket. I’m going to be real honest with you. I see enough of the homogeneity, and I don’t need to support it with my dollar.

Married for 11 years, with my now husband for 19 years (I’m 34—and no I don’t live in Arkansas and yes, it was bizarro to my family/friends too, to have stayed together from 8th grade till now—but bizarre in a good/surprising way?)—is it always smooth sailing? Fuck no. Some one’s hangry, tired, posting on Jezebel when…

Its really about taking a commitment seriously, and then not putting yourself in the position to do something stupid. Like recognizing that a work friendship is getting a little too flirty and cooling it off.

I know I am going to sound ancient (which I am), but I think ScarJo simply hasn’t found a right man yet. It may take a relationship or three, but there are incredible people out there. Today marks the 21st anniversary of me getting married to one of these folks.

It’s Hillary’s fault. She didn’t campaign hard enough, in enough places, or in the right states. If only she had stopped in for a meet-and-greet at Pop’s Diner in Riverdale the crucial Archie vote might have won her the presidency.

Did he not notice that almost every single other man who has the job seems to age before the nation’s eyes? Obama looked like he put on a good 15 years in 8 - and W. didn’t fair much better. How did he miss that?

It’s just gruesome, and really not at all toned down. When Marilla is going to complain to the woman who brought Anne to her and that other woman just says yeah, I’ll take her, I need a de facto slave, and you realize a living, breathing child can just be handed off to a total stranger—no paperwork, no accountability,…

Yeah. That bothers me, but the thing (as a black woman) that has started to irk me more is when men of color are cast in big budget films as leads and they can’t ever be matched with a female romantic partner of color (of any ethnicity) - kind of like their presence in this big budget movies is somehow meta and they…

I’d think it more important to love Sloan and Trailer Park Boys.

Yes by god! Yes!

Following up on the Nordstrom & TJX brouhaha, the slimmest glimmer of hope:

I think he likes to talk tough to compensate for the fact he’s terrified of stairs.

Trump seems to think that insulting foreign leaders is a great idea yet demands everyone else treats him with respect.

I’m just glad her explanation had some candor.

A very erudite decision on her part. Hopefully, there is still amity between her and the filmmakers.
