And you said you got pissed because it was 4:45 in the morning.

I often fly with my travel telescope. That thing is 100% guaranteed to get me extra security service. Of course, in an x-ray, it looks like a metal tube with electronics around it, so I don’t really blame them.

“There is no way that I can know if he is genuinely interested in engaging black voters, attacking discrimination or crossing the racial divide.”

Except for that 18 minute phone call where he let you rant and curse at him while probably fully expecting you to take anything he said out of context to shout curses at…

Funny because that’s really terrible advice.

That’s an interesting question. Moral or not, you might have a legal responsibility. In some states it may be illegal to record someone with out their knowledge.

It’s nearly impossible for “unpoliced web” sites to hijack your phone through a modern browser -at least not without making a stupid user mistake. But then if you are going to accept the link to download that special porn app, then there is no amount of computer security that can help you.

Or, just don’t download apps. Like at all. Nearly everything you want can be accessed just as well through your browser.

What’s worse is shopping for pants. I need 31" seams. Seriously, no one has 31" seams. The struggle is real.

How about instead we recommend politicians that are good. Who is the best politician in your State? Who is the man or woman that routinely and reliably gets good and meaningful work done without significant political backlash?

I fully understand that this is entertainment (if really, really trashy entertainment) and a lot of people enjoy it.

But I, for the life of me, don’t understand why ANYONE would ever agree to sign up for this. How the heck do they find these people willing to publicly shame themselves?

I’m all for him shitting himself.

Okay, that I can get behind. Auditions should be blind. They aren’t going to be, of course, because money is a thing.

No, that’s a different problem. I don’t deny that discrimination exists in the acting community. Black and LBGT actors should not be denied rolls because they are not straight and white. but we aren’t really talking about discrimination here. You are just promoting typecasting by saying that a character who is trans…

First of all, did you just throw a genocide argument at me?

It’s ok to be critical of HOW they do their jobs. It’s not ok to be critical of someone just because they are doing their jobs.

You actually hit the nail on the head here. The real scandal is not that an actress got a particular acting role in a movie, it’s that Hollywood treats actresses like disposable goods. Johansson is 36 years old. If it wasn’t for her long contract with Marvel, she would have been discarded a decade ago.

That’s the real…

my point, dude, is that a black actor can play a historical white slave owner and he completely awesome doing it.

1) That’s the point. It’s not any different for Ledger to play a gay man, a preacher, or a psychopath. It’s all acting. He's an actor. Judge him by his performance.

Is it? Or do you not know what “acting” is?

It’s okay for actors to do their jobs. In fact, we used to celebrate and reward actors and actresses for taking on difficult roles that required them to learn to depict the world through someone else’s eyes. That’s what acting is. It’s literally their job.

Typecasting, like…

That’s not a great point at all. She can play Harriet Tubman. Were you upset with Leslie Odom (a black actor) was selected to play a historica white slaveholder? Probably not, and nor should you have been. He was absolutely friggin awesome in the roll.

She’s an actress. Judge her by her performance in the roll, not…
