Bernie at least got the millennials, at least. There's at least hope for progressives to have the young vote even with an old fart.

Gonna get downvoted to oblivion, but I agree. The song selection, and the song performance? Great! Dressed as Hillary in character, with the closing statement by Hillary in character? A lot of people did not trust Hillary. She was "voted against", and seen as a problem even during the "Feel the Bern" Democratic…

Racism is not defined by intent

Why not? Some black people (not me) wanted to be called "African Americans" and that's what people went with. The LGBT community wanted increasingly long-ass acronyms and adjectives to describe the varying degrees of sexuality and gender identities that people didn't even want to acknowledge, but we do. I know it's…

That's what happened with Ghostbusters (2016). A movie that came out to decent-to-good reviews and had so-so-to-alright box office. Nothing about the real end results looked like the constant Internet shitstorm that preceded it.

Exactly. The entire "I'm not a racist, but…" thing is used by people who truly in their heart do not believe whatever fear or distrust they may have is racism. Racism is slur-filled tweets and klansmen sheets. And with the word "racist" being the slur that actually gets some white people in an uproar (who knew?),…

The problem is the word "racist" doesn't mean what anyone on either side thinks it means.

I fault that with the Internet itself, as there are soooo many awful trolls coupled with misguided-yet-well-meaning people using upvote-based echo-chamber communications that actual conversations get lost in the sea of soapboxing.

Slightly edited my reply for further clarification

Even now, I can't wrap my head around the Ghostbusters (2016) dust-up. For one, yeah, remaking something that well-known and treasured is usually a red flag. And the first trailer made the movie look godawful. However, the Robocop remake didn't get nearly as much of negative Internet reaction, and they made that…

Yeah, but after Ghostbusters (2016), "female-led remake" in a headline is ripe for Internet outrage of all stripes now.

I really like Rogan's earlier standup, but I think he literally just smokes way too much pot. His podcasts are three hour ramblings of a high person that has done such selective research on "subjects" while having a surprisingly limited knowledge of general things. Rogan once asked on his podcast what "Bob's Burgers"…

**warning: mini-soapbox and slight speculation with general meandering**

That's exactly why I enjoyed the ending. I really really like The Mist overall, but the twist ending was almost some kind of weird funny-yet-awful levity to the boatload of misery that happened in the second half of the movie.

Honestly, with the vibe of the show, I thought it was gonna be something mundane like a limited flavor of chewing gum that they just stopped selling

"B.A.N." was the episode that had all of my Facebook friends and Atlanta fans fully talking about the show and on board. I think Joshua did a great job reviewing the show, but I feel like with some of the quibbles and misunderstandings, he never "got" the show

And yet Seinfeld was (and still is) one of the most watched, beloved shows in television history. I understand the point of wanting the show to have a serialized narrative structure, but 1) a lot of people don't think that's supremely important if the show is still very enjoyable for what it is, and 2) comparing…

DOGS and CATS living together!!

Currently at 84% on RottenTomatoes as of Halloween. Is this movie gonna be like the Ouija sequel where it has absolutely no business at all not being outright trash, let alone being kinda good?

Oh it can be a fine line, but the key thing is that all black folks are individuals with various viewpoints. Sometimes, the viewpoints can be just as bonkers as other groups. The Sharptons and Jacksons of the world may have a big following and you want to appease them and their constant charges of racism. But that is…
