Benioff: "So, we've gotten a lot of criticism over the years for the lack of black people on Game of Thrones."

Hence the "alt" part.

I'd prefer an alt-reality where non-white people aren't treated like shit. I know that's really pushing the suspension of disbelief to the limit, though.

I watched it and thought it was well done, but I didn't think it was necessary, especially when the original remains such a landmark piece of television. Though I watched an interview with the cast and crew, and one of the guys behind the show defended remaking the story because he said he tried to show the original…

Lena Dunham is an American horror story.

My sister (sort of) used to be like that with my nephew. When she moved in with our mom after she couldn't afford to be on her own, the boy's diet turned into nothing but fast food. Not that my sister was ever much of a cook. When my nephew was really little, his meals consisted solely of steamed mixed veggies from a…

Jesus, what's up your ass?
It takes place in an area which is based on Middle Eastern countries. The characters in the animated version are clearly non-white, dipstick.

Fact of the matter is that Disney's adaptation takes place in the ME. Its human cast should reflect that.

Not whitewashing in a ScarJo way, but still problematic, as there is certainly a tendency to cast mixed actresses (particularly fair-skinned mixed actresses) to play characters who are not supposed to be mixed. It plays right into that racist mentality that darker-skinned women are seen as less attractive than their…

Eh, I'm not too keen on who they chose to play Jasmine. I haven't seen PR, so I can't speak to Scott's acting ability, but it's an unfortunate casting decision, given that women of colour, especially Middle Eastern women of colour, are so often excluded from Hollywood narratives. Unless they're playing the widow of a…

I'd be up for a revival of the series, but some time ago I posited doing a prequel series that focuses on younger versions of Shane and Alice and how they met, as Shane's connections to the rest of the characters was something I always wondered about. I could see Alice being the one to befriend her first. And by doing…

So it'll still be super white?

I'll allow it.

Very cute, Internet.

Hell, they wouldn't even do that today.

I feel as though Dinosaurs doesn't get enough credit. It was a really smart, well-written show.

He's a sweet, merengue-based confection from France, idiot!

This show and its premise make me think of a video piece for painting class I did with a friend when we were in art school. We each put on stupid teenybopper shirts (She, blonde, wore a shirt which read: "Blondes have more fun", and I, a mousy brunette, wore a shirt that read: "This girl can flirt."), lay out a tarp…

Just looked it up while going through Wiki's list of '90s one-hit wonders form the '90s. :)

This is hard, because a lot of artists that are generally considered one-hit wonders technically aren't, because the artists had singles that became hits in other countries. Men Without Hats are widely considered a one-hit wonder, but their other well-known single "Pop Goes the World" was a hit here in Canada and in…
