IT’S NOT BLACKFACE. Blackface is something used to mock. This kid will never be seen on the screen. This is a perfectly normal case where the stand-in needed make-up to match the actor’s skin tone. Look people, proper stage lighting is different for light and dark skin. That’s not racism, that’s just physics. And…
You have no idea how film production works if you think Rogen had anything to do with this, or even knew about it.
[T]he stand-in for child actor Keith L. Williams and reported that the film had used brown makeup to darken the stand-in actor’s face. (Both Williams and the stand-in are black.)

I think we might have just found the biggest non story in human history.
I think our society is very reactionary right now. It’s exhausting.
Lauren Gussis claims started this project with the best of intentions, and as a vehicle for working through her own issues with the subject matter - “sharing her insides.” In this regard, she considers it a very personal project; the main character’s story is based upon that of her own life, during part of which she…

I saw and immediately thought he was doing something like the movie Bamboozled, which was a Spike Lee movie that literally had black men in black face and implied that the entertainment industry uses black talent the way old racist minstrel shows did. It’s a shame more people haven’t see that movie.
I thought the fit was off, but after a couple days of more consideration than I’d publicly admit to, I think she wanted it roomy on purpose. Her whole look was toned-down; keeping away from a skin-tight fit keeps with that theme. I could see her wanting to make an intentional statement of, “I am not going to be…
We all have to make sacrifices and scale back during these austere times.
I didn’t realize how sad Post Malone was until I saw him live and instantaneously stopped liking his music.
Why? Clearly a very specific part of their brains match up and, in my experience, that is critical for long-term compatibility. I say congratulations to them both!
When I first read the news in Page Six that Grimes and Elon Musk may be an item, I briefly went into a sort of…
