I was browsing through my Letterboxd stats the other day, and they list out your most viewed actors. Samuel L. Jackson is apparently my number one — I’ve seen him in 41 films, and the runners up aren’t even particularly close. That being said, those are probably not the 5 Jackson roles I would pick as my favorites,

From the author that brought us:

“best-remembered for the American slogan, “50'40” or fight!”, in reference to the latitude of the northern border our side wanted”

But the thing is... they really don't look that similar, other than being black women with shaved heads. Their faces are totally different. It's... something.

Not great.

Yep, did the same. I was like “I know Ayo was in the show... Did Okoye have a brief appearance at some point that I'm completely blanking on?”

IndieWire had an article a couple weeks ago congratulating David Oyelowo for his recent Oscar win and that was really bad too. 

Now playing

We go now live to AV Club’s interview with Sam Jackson:

“Gurira recently appeared as her Black Panther character in The Falcon And The Winter Soldier”

I mean, really, what IS normal, anyway?

That’s right, Schwab’s not just sticking with that age-old Vampiric Homoerotic Subtext trope. No, First Kill is explicitly queer”

As far as I'm aware, she was never sexually assaulted, but there were stories about how he practically blacklisted her because she wouldn't play ball. When it came out in the public, Paul Sorvino went all Goodfellas and said if he knew, he would've whacked Harvey but good.

Weinstein.

I’m really glad I thought to screenshot it at the time. It was from years ago obviously, but it still makes me laugh whether I look at it.

I won't lie, I would watch a slasher version of Friends with that image as the poster art (don't change a thing).

The reunion reminded me of my all-time favorite recommendation from the Netflix algorithm.

If any element of my post suggested to you I thought what they’re doing is no biggie, you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. I stated quite clearly that what the Israeli government is doing is wrong on multiple levels, but it’s still not genocide.

The article mentions that this features the late Dame Diana Rigg. It’s actually her final performance, and Wright wrote a real tearjerker about how committed she was and how she was working on the film right up to the end:

“After weeks of standing firm that being pro-Palestine is not equated with antisemitism, Ruffalo wavered back to a more moderate position.”

“...learn a lesson about being more particular when choosing who they work with. maybe it’ll help convince those people and systems to change if they know that there are financial stakes to who they work with in addition to the ethical ones.”
