I come to it from a different angle. Saw the movie, thought it sucked and then found out later that it has this weird ass cult following. It almost makes me want to watch the movie again, but I'm pretty confident in my first take. It's just a bad movie.

Let me guess the Cassius/Mohammed Ali joke also makes me an Islamophobe?

Momma named him Clay, Imma call him Clay

Worth a B at least for playing Give Up the Goods. Entourage is oddly culturally specific at times. Never out of context (of course some gen-X/older millenial guys from Queens would be listening to old Mobb Deep), but niche enough to feel intimate.

"Honestly, I find that view a little reductive and steeped in pop psychology to really be comfortable with it."

I just can't envision this show without the original score.

Not my fault the show has shitty B storylines when it even bothers to have secondary story arcs. It's not like I expect every show to be The Wire or Game of Thrones when it comes to huge casts and complex narratives, but I seriously have moments where I wonder if I missed the death of a character because I hadn't seen

That's not contrived at all, it's a legitimate issue. The problem with having everyone in the same place is that you're always wondering where so-and-so is or why so-and-so didn't say anything. It's easy to accept someone like Morgan not being in the episode. It's just weird to barely see or hear characters that are

Biscuit… kind of too 90's rapperish for me. I would have liked him to say he had the blicky on him.

I think season one did a pretty good job at playing up the impossibility of Oliver being Arrow (or at least the only Arrow). But then again, Moira figured it out and she straight up saw someone else in the hood while she was with Oliver.

Come on bruh… Atlanta is like the Black Portland

The whole thing is an allegory for the war in Iraq. The safety of the green zone gets violated and the soldiers get involved in a war where its easier to kill everyone than distinguish friend from foe. It's not some grand thesis and really the movie just flirts with the political subtext. But it definitely has some

I'm really surprised at the hate for 28 Weeks Later. It gets the social commentary and the action right. There isn't much more to ask out of a zombie movie.

Have we even gotten to that point? They just made Christian Bale into Moses. There's shows whose stories should have minorities that don't have minorities. If you only watched 90's sitcoms, you'd get the impression that NYC is 95 percent white. The reality is that most characters aren't developed enough to really need

To me Sleepy Hollow and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are in two different situations. Sleepy Hollow legitimately has to deal with the fact it has a black female lead because it deals with early american history. Black Abby's family history probably isn't going to be interchangeable with White Abby's family history. Blackness

In The Flesh!

Not only is there a Black Twitter, it has a wiki page:

The show's premise and trailers definitely do not convey what's good about the show. But second guessing where the plot is going to go based on the premise does a disservice both to yourself and the show. The funny thing about the abortion subject is that part of it's discussion leads to this really sweet and

I dunno. I approach it from a different angle. The Far Cry series in 2 and 3 were really subversive. In Far Cry 2, you're just as much a bad guy as anyone in the country. You're pretty much Di Caprio's character in Blood Diamond. Far Cry 3 sort of toys with some subversive themes but sort of drops those themes towards

Well, Far Cry 4's narrative is lazy bullshit, Far Cry 3's narrative is lazy bullshit masquerading as depth. And Far Cry 2 actually has some depth. I'm sensing a trend here.
