‘It can’t be racist! There was a black guy in it!’

I mean, do you really think the Indian kids you said it around processed it anywhere remotely close to how adults of today process it? Because that’s really what we’re talking about, and this is filtered through the lens of both age and perspective. I doubt any of the Indian kids who might’ve heard you say it back in…

I don’t think it’s so much as typecasting as Olyphant enjoys dipping into that well for kicks post-Justified. His cameo as himself in “The Good Place” shows a man who is hilariously self-aware about his persona.

Great performance by Brown. You got the sense Olyphant’s character cared for him and they had a shared history of being in the shit together. 

He had the Santa Clarita diet and his turn on The Grinder which allow him to flex his immense comedy muscles. He’s so great in those shows. But God, seeing his as a law-man just hits so good. 

The chonkiest sand person

I feel kinda bad for Olyphant as an actor getting typecast, but it just shows how much people love the character that they want to put him in everything: Fargo, Star Wars, etc...

I’d have loved some Ian McShane in this.

I love that guy. Wish him and Olyphant all the success in the world  

Not gonna lie, as great as everything else was about this episode, my favorite thing about it was Timothy Olyphant playing the marshal of a frontier mining town and W. Earl Brown playing the saloon barkeep.

Also, take THAT everyone who doesn’t consider Stephen King a writer.

This is kind of why I hate twitter as a medium -- obviously this is what he meant when he said it, a work should be judged based on content not the background of the creator, but that idea needs to be contextualized in the reality that that to get to the point where your work can judged based on merit is rigged in…

I stepped over one of those lines recently, by saying something on Twitter that I mistakenly thought was noncontroversial: “I would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality. It seems to me that to do otherwise would be wrong.” The subject was the Academy Awards. I also said, in essence, that those…

I can’t help but think that the dings against Margaret Atwood are dangerously close to the No True Scotsman fallacy. The Handmaid’s Tale (book) isn’t about marginalized groups; it’s about women. Is it really right to fault her for how she chose to focus the book? Personally, I think it’s okay to write a work about one…

Something about this article rubs me the wrong way. The Handmaid’s Tale handled race with all the subtlety that it handled anything (which is to say, none), and it had absolutely no idea what show it wanted to be (misery porn? Revolution porn? Who knows?). But intersectionality goes both ways, doesn’t it? It feels…

I’ll give you that one. 

I find it amusing that you think a review where I suggest you’d be better off playing with your own asshole for an hour and a half to be “too nice.” Thanks though! I’m a ray of goddamn sunshine!!!!!

Katie you’re far too nice to be writing about shit movies. You should pass these off to the folks who will just spend the entire review ripping into trash like this. 

The trouble here is that, in my analogy, Gramma is dead now and the people I’m having to explain this stuff to are 40 year old executives. In the event that Gramma is still alive, she is almost certainly not working anymore. Im still sympathetic to WW2 vets, but that generation is done working. The generations I’m…

I can’t remember the last day that went by where I didn’t have to go through this exchange pretty much verbatim.

Well, okay, it was probably Saturday because I don’t work Saturdays.
