The other problem is simply costs. A single month of moviepass costs less than a single matinee showing at any theater in my area. I only have to see a single movie a month for my subscription to be a net loss.

“ I don’t actually think that a black female creative with a nonblack partner would even consider dampening her message for the sake of her partner’s feelings. Maybe it’s because most of the black women I know seem so steadfast in their resolve and dedication to blackness that a partner more or less has to fit into…

... I believe that the place in pop culture in which Donald Glover exists has never been occupied...

No one ever says this about Frederick Douglass, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poiter, Henry Louis Gates, Quincy Jones, or James Brown. At point all of these Black men who championed or were a beacon for civil rights were dating/married to White women. So why don’t they get the same stank eye too?

It’s also worth remembering that ‘critical acclaim’ is a euphemism for white people’s acceptance and that is what is Glover is enjoying right now. That’s not to take away from his talent and accomplishments or suggest that black people don’t love him or that our love doesn’t matter. But the success he’s enjoying is…

I’m also not here for it, because i’m already seeing extra spicy takes about Glover having a white lover and interracial children. This all feels like Hotep bait and i’m not here for it. Celebrate the art. Celebrate the artist. Don’t worship any of these niggas, you’ll be disappointed.

I’m pretty sure they make more than $130K.

Everyone who dies coming back is straight from the comics so I’m not too worried about anyone’s return. And I want everyone back. I’m not one of these people who needs a death to “show what the stakes are.” That’s how you get the crap Whedon does which leaves you cold because it’s clearly so calculated. Besides, I…

yes, because everybody believes that half the universe is going to stay dead.... everybody knows all those people snapped away will be back. regardeless of if they have movies coming out or not. Bucky and Falcon don’t have movies coming out....

Thank god that in America (land/home/free/brave),you’re not forced to go.I’ll give your seat to someone interested in this sort of movie.Cheers!

Finn’s attempted sacrifice mirrors Poe’s ill-starred attack on the dreadnaught that cost the Resistance their bomber squadron. The whole theme of the movie is that common sense is better than dumb heroics. It’s a lesson that everybody learns, except Kylo, who ends up being made an ass out of by a phantom.

Seeing a black woman hate on Bruno Mars while using a Japanese handle that means “I love you” should be a textbook example of the word irony.

I hate that we’re even having this conversation. Miley Cirus and Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato and Katy Perry got away with actual appropriation. Miley might’ve been the worst offender in the history of mankind. She took from the culture, made it look like absolute trash, and then walked away from it when she got…

“However, this time around, all 13 episodes were directed by women, and you could really see that in how they framed the characters and situations.”

Trish is like a female Danny Rand: sucked the air out of every scene she was in.

That’s valid, but it’s also true that Jeri’s story had little to nothing to do with the main storyline. It felt more like they just wanted to make use of Carrie- Anne Moss than because it was going anywhere.

Counterpoint: Trish was the true villain of *this* season because she is *the worst*.

the ritual is the electoral college - nobody blinks an eye at it right up until the second it stops working

Look at the photos taken by Apollo 17. [en.wikipedia.org]
