I wouldn't say he's critical of Asians who act "white", he's critical of the stereotypes that Asian-Americans have to act and look a certain way to be accepted by white people. The model minority thing is very much alive

If Grantland was run by anyone other than Bill Simmons a lot of their writers would come across much better. But he has this delusion that "more words=better writing" and it's evident in every article the site publishes.

It is pretty amazing that concussion protocols played such a huge part in the game. Edelman barely sounded coherent in the postgame interviews. Meanwhile, Cliff Avril gets taken out and the Seahawks defense suddenly becomes very porous. 5 years ago Avril would have just sat out a series and came back and the…

I have the opposite problem because my mother has the musical taste of a 12 year old girl. She forces me to download Nick Jonas and Enrique Iglesias songs for her that she hears on the radio but can't recall. Then she'll offer such crucial lyrical information like "This one he was saying baby baby I love you" as if…

It also seems preposterous that Clint Eastwood shouldn't be criticized (as in actual artistic criticism not just shameless whining) for the choices he makes as a filmmaker considering the nature of how we talk about the particular subject matter.

The vast majority of Make-A-Wish events revolve around a kid meeting their favorite famous person, so no I can't imagine it taking money away from genuine cancer research. If you're going to talk about misapplication of resources, direct your ire towards something like the Komen Foundation or Livestrong that seem…

"No mom it's a real job, I just don't get paid" definitely drudged up some bad memories.

I think it's like the 30 Rock vs Studio 60 battle. One show was comfortable in its skin and just wanted to tell a lot of jokes and be entertaining, the other was trying too hard to BE SOMETHING and was hoisted into an undeserved stratosphere by critics before the general public even got a hold of it.

The Sopranos is by far the king of hunger pangs.

Not to mention the obsession with boneless and skinless poultry. Yes, let's remove the two things that impart some genuine flavor into the meat because we want to eat "healthy."

Nothing screams changing the paradigm of journalism forever like giving a ton of money and autonomy to Ezra fucking Klein.

Plummer's outburst might be my favorite scene in the movie, or at least tied with Bruce McGill's smackdown of the B&W attorney in the deposition.

The varying degrees of criticism seem to stem from the fact that it's only 8 episodes of story. There's no addendum, Marty and Rust aren't coming back next year. So each episode takes on a huge sense of importance (as important as a TV show could possibly be) and thanks to the nature of 24/7 obsession, the…

Yeah, that scene took place in 2002 correct? It had to be The Simple Life.

Whoops, meant to say stepmother (forgot the name of the actress, I think she was on the OC).

Nothing will top E banging Sloan's mother-in-law, lies about it to Sloan and cons her into getting back together.

Jay Leno spent the entirety of the 90s doing nothing but OJ and Clinton jokes, I don't think Fallon has to worry about the novelty of things wearing off.
