Oppenheimer took on a similarly shameful moment in American history but didn’t actually show it on screen.

“...aren’t the biggest fans of Martin Scorsese. The director has been nominated 16 times...”

It’s not that they should avoid it, it’s that this is literally the only part of any story involving him that they have an ounce of interest in. Somehow an article purportedly about Python’s financial state of affairs and general dislike between two of its members ends with two full paragraphs about Cleese’s politics.…

Want to clear something up for everyone. “Both-siderism” is when you use the bad things that your opponents do to excuse the bad stuff that your own side does.

I’d assume Bowen Yang has to be getting pretty tired of everyone turning his way and being like “is Bowen Yang okay with this problematic guest?” except he seems to publicly cultivate that kind of speculation.

Here’s a thought experiment: is there a single recognizable Republican politician that Bowen Yang and this writer (and many of the commenters) would be OK with seeing on SNL in 2024? Mitt Romney? Liz Cheney?

Both Chappelle and Gillis are legitimately successful comedians, like it or not. Haley isn’t even popular among Republicans.

Look me in the eye and tell me “Hilaria” isn’t a throwaway gag name from 30 Rock.

Did SNL also make her flub every line she had?

Has this woman ever had a positive experience?

Leslie Jones is pretty much a one trick pony, and the people at SNL obviously understood that, where she fit into the ensemble cast, and used her accordingly. SNL is the only reason anyone knows who she is. It’s unprofessional to diss the people who gave you your chance at a career but if her past is anything to judge…

Has she had a single good experience in her whole career? I know these excerpts are trending to the more dramatic stuff to increase interest in the book, but I’m starting to wonder.

Titanic.

She gets asked about a lot of things. This is the topic that gets the websites reporting on her the most clicks and interaction.

So just to be clear: we're supposed to hate Jason Sudeikis because of a report from a former nanny that both he and Olivia Wilde denied was true, and also because a process server did their job? Even for present-day AV Club, this is a shockingly bad take.

...despise Meghan Markle for “no reason” (we all know the reason)...

She is clickbait https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7703885/Elizabeth-Banks-slammed-claiming-men-unlikely-watch-Charlies-Angels.html

Minority-created media should be allowed to be mediocre or worse and we move along the same way as with something created by a straight white guy, instead of having to write some article like this defending it when there are plenty of South Asian-featuring media on TV right now that critics and audiences agree are…

Most of the criticism I’ve seen of Velma has run along the lines of it being smug, mean-spirited, and not nearly as smart as it thinks…with the related criticism that the Scooby Doo connection only exists because the show wasn’t good enough to be made on its own merits.

While they can speak to similar issues of representation, I’m not sure Azaria voicing Apu (and the question of whether voice actors need to match, loosely or precisely, the ethnicity or background of their characters) actually relates much to changing the backgrounds or traits of a live action character (you could be…
