They also got praise and acceptance from their contemporaries. It wasn't an MC Snow or Vanilla Ice situation.
Didn't he accuse them of being not figurative but ACTUAL demons at one point during this last election cycle?
If a black person was depicted eating watermelon in the video, I would understand the outrage, but she is white and enjoying watermelon. It's not the same as blackface.
Back when I was younger, being Conservative seemed to mean that you just wanted smaller government. When did it all get so crazy and unhinged? When did the lunatics take over the asylum? The conspiracy theory that the Clintons killed Vince Foster now seems rather quaint and adorable by comparison.
Well, I am not that young, but I was not around in the '50s or '60s. I was born in the 1970s. I did and still do try to be sensitive to others but I have a lot of acquaintances from growing up who don't bother trying, so while I have seen racism and know what it can look like, I guess I miss the more subtle stuff if…
Maybe I am socially ignorant, but here in the South whites and African Americans eat a lot of the same stuff with no thought to racial implications of it. What's thought of as soul food in many urban areas is often just thought of as country cooking down here. While I am aware of of the racial implications of…
I have avoided buying Fargo when it came out on DVD after watching it on its first TV run for a few reasons:
1. Money.
2. Unlike GoT or Mad Men, each season is self-contained so there's little need to refamiliarize yourself with plot points before the new season starts.
3. As much as I absolutely adored season 1 of True…
As much as I enjoyed Big Little Lies, I get nervous hearing the makers talking about possibly trying to get another season of that going. Then again, running out of book apparently did not hurt The Leftovers any.
Legion has a spectacular beginning and the final three episodes bring it all together, but I will admit that it had a very frustrating middle that had me contemplating calling it quits a couple of times. I am glad that I ultimately stuck with it for the payoff, but I understand where you're coming from. I also wonder…
I feel like his heart was in Legion this time around. Season 3 of Fargo is not a disaster, but it's only gathered steam in the last 3 episodes. Also, the common character threads of the first two seasons really helped. Aside from the tenuous Mr. Wrench connection, this season sticks out like a sore thumb,…
True Detective season 2, after all, is what happens when something is forced. Unlike a lot of people here, I did not hate it but I am not going to argue that it was up to season one standards.
SPOILER: Considering what happens to his character at the end, it in its own way basically affirms his megalomaniacal image of himself as some sort of Scientology demigod on Earth in addition to the overall cheesiness of it.
Coogler did a great job with the fight scenes in CREED. Also, while Michael B. Jordan has been on my radar for a while, I totally missed the boat on Chadwick Bozeman until he played Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War. That dude is charismatic as hell, or at least he was in that movie.
It can be two things, I guess. Two contradictory, antithetical things.
I think he would perjure himself and hope no one would be critical because he was "under oath." Not that law enforcement officers never lie, but an FBI director is the squarest of the square, and Comey has already shown he does not mind pissing off either party to call it like he sees it. Trump has never shown any…
Thanks for the memory jog, pal. It was most helpful.
I have watched every season diligently, though I have not repeated viewings of them, so this is puzzling me because my memory is generally good but it's failing me now: Where do we know Mr. Wrench from before? His first appearance was supposed to have some significance and the reviewer is quite familiar with him, but…
The last thing of his that I unironically enjoyed was Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans. Cage and Herzog and a bunch of quirky character actors doing a gonzo detective story in sinister, surreal New Orleans circa Katrina era was good stuff to me.
They were trying to go for you-are-there-in-their-time realism, but it just looked like a bunch of contemporary actors raided their dead grandfathers' closets for old suits. It did not need to be sepia toned, but the digital photography took me out of the movie and did not feel like the 1930s at all. Also, while this…
