The buddy cop movie America deserves…

You are a child.

What is your definition of a sheltered life? Not being a trust fund kid in Williamsburg or Silver Lake? America in the mid-eighties was over 80% white as a nation. Just how many queergender disabled Latinas do you think he should have put in Sixteen Candles?

Well Hughes grew up in Illinois suburbs like Northbrook that are still "overwhelmingly white" even today. He probably had very few interactions racial minorities growing up there and as an artist he probably realized that racial tokenism often comes off as phony and inauthentic. Also there's nothing less valid about

Well its not really a valid critique. Hughes movies are set in suburbs that in the mid-80 would have been "overwhelmingly white" as was much of the nation then and of course out teens would have been a rarity then. A character like Duckie, who perhaps had yet to come to terms with their sexuality, would be more

Indeed stormtrooper imagery is drawn Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will

The RLM guys had an interesting video about how Sony anticipated and incorporated the backlash against Ghostbusters into the marketing. Now I don't think Star Wars really needs any extra publicity, but it's suspicious when the views of a few anonymous internet commenters get amplified by media…

I didn't like the show, but it wasn't cancelled over ratings

I'm sorry, tend to be in favor of corporate censorship. Is that better?

It's weird how people who like to describe themselves as "open-minded" tend to be in favor of censorship.

"James Woods and Mel Gibson didn't exactly struggle for roles either"

Thank goodness for the wisdom of network executives, our trusted cultural gatekeepers, now if only they could control our political process to prevent us from making mistakes…

The show supposedly had pretty good ratings for Adult Swim. Not really my cup of tea, but the decision appears politically motivated.

I guess we'll have to differ on the meaning of an "open mind" but this was a network executive decision anyways.

The Left may not control any branch of government, but it owns late night TV. Suck it haters!

Ironic since Brando was a true SJW. On stage with MLK for the March on Washington, standing with Native Americans before it was cool…

This is an old story… but the internet demands fresh outrage so lets get mad. Anyways Brando did a lot of questionable sh-t in his life. On One-Eyed Jacks he secretly fed his lead actress drugs to enhance her performance. And he was such a sex addict that Gore Vidal said he kept two abortionists on retainer. All that

I've never heard of this woman before but she seems like a total lightweight, Stewart wouldn't have wasted his time on her. The impression I get is that she was brought on as a tomato can for the very raw Noah.

This is like Buckley vs Vidal for illiterates.

I was hoping for an Oscar-bait biopic about Jackée.
