It feels so weird to see so many critics gushing about this whitewashing (pun not intended) movie about one of the worst slaver states in Africa. No, seriously, even compared with their contemporaries Dahomey was horrific. They also murdered hundreds of captives each year in human sacrifices. Look up the Annual…

Dahomey only existed to provide slaves and terrorize its neighbors. This movie is such bullshit.

Ghezo holds his head high in relative righteousness: he stopped Dahomey’s sale of their own people to the whites, and only sells their enemies.

The heroes in the trailer:

Can this movie just come out already so it can flop and then i never have to hear about it again

That Daily Beast article is pretty damning and specific, and a fucking rough read. Spears and Haddish being so dismissive of things that are clearly recorded on video and can be easily verified is really fucked up of them. Even if it was under the flimsy guise of a ‘comedy video’, I don’t see how anyone can see what…

I thought she was genuinely hilarious in Girls Trip, but in retrospect I’m not sure how much of it was because she was new to me.

I was in LA earlier this week and was worried that the smoke I smelt was from a nearby wildfire.

At this point the fact that Wilde is saying this makes me think she really wanted to act in the movie.

I’m willing to cut Wilde a lot of slack because a lot of what she’s been accused of, are things that tons of male directors have done.

A lot of people seem to be down on this film and/or on Wilde right now, but it actually looks interesting to me, and I feel a little bad that I won’t be buying a ticket for it since I’m not giving a dime to WB until they fire Zaslav.

So from what I’ve seen the last few seasons Strong is once again going to have to carry the show?

Don’t Worry Darling is one scrappy, can do tale of indie filmmaker stick-to-it-tiveness.  I mean, have you heard about the studio that produced it? They can only afford to release two movies the rest of the year, and actually shelved one of them. Talk about a mom and pop operation.

Fine, but then they should insult celebrities’ actions instead of their medical conditions.

I said Nicole Brown Smith, I didn’t say they didn’t know who OJ was! And they know he killed his wife but not her name a lot of the time. And a lot of younger people were more focused the Robert Kardashian aspect of that show because the Kardashians play a larger role in their current culture than OJ does.

So what is the context that makes the joke funny?

The first sign that a comedian is reaching is when the joke is “edgy.” They know the material isn’t good enough to stand on its own, so they push into uncomfortable territory to get the “I can’t believe he just said that!” reaction. The fact that Chris Rock, at this point in his career, is reaching with material…

Disagree.

I saw Chris Rock perform about 4-5 years ago. I was really excited for it at the time because I was looking for some insightful comedy about race relations in America and things like that. Instead, it was mostly just him talking about how hard it is to date as a man in his 50s. He brought nothing to the “dating is…

It’s a contraction of ‘good swole days,’ so yes.
