Oh look, a working example of racism.

I fundamentally disagree with you. Artistic freedom is one thing, I don't see why that needs to allow for discrimination.

I don't think it's an "instead", it's an as well as. There's nothing wrong with noting that an individual artistic team are oddly mono-racial for the most part, when they are. They often have sprawling casts.

I find the lack of diversity in Coen Bros movies really bothersome from time to time. I don't know why it feels so notable to me with their work in particular, but it really does.

I think it's a bit different with Scorsese because his filmography is so tied together with masculinity as a theme.

I partially agree, but I worry about non-white and/or non-male filmmakers being made subject to different expectations. It's weird to me that as a storyteller you wouldn't be drawn to telling stories from the POV of characters who are different to yourself. Imagine if Steve McQueen had been heavily criticised for…

I agree with you, but "coincidence" is passive discrimination. There's nothing stopping a few more of his films from having had female leads, or him being drawn to more female-centric stories. It's likely that the value of it has just not been apparent to him, as it isn't to many others.

I still have to rate man like Tony Scott for frequently collaborating with Denzel.

"I generally expect people to write characters who are sort of like themselves"

Yeah, this is a conversation worth having, and one that is pretty nuanced. It's a shme Banks didn't have her facts straight despite a valid point, and that she wanted to reduce it to calling him out rather than understanding the situation and addressing it…

I'm worried about some out of nowhere bullshit that Trevorrow thinks is cool making its way into Episode IX…

I'd love to see a massive status quo shift. The show could be just as entertaining if everyone was at rival companies and at war with each other, or legitimately trapped working for Big Head and Erlich, or something like that.

That gag confused me, I don't remember him being anything other than Jared? Now I'm remembering him being Original Jared or OJ at one point? I need a re-watch eventually.

Can't share intelligence with the US when it's not a fair trade.

Fun(?) fact: Star Wars came out closer to WWII than to now.

I'm so bitterly disappointed by his exclusion from the ST.

No receding hairline, no greying, on top of which black don't crack… it's a pretty good formula for agelessness.

Was there a reference more specific than that moment itself?

"I usually watch TV while playing a game"

"Vin is kind of retroactively taking up the mantle of the 'multi-racial action star'"
