Not necessarily, I can just understand why she said what she did on a podcast where she was chatting with someone who she knew personally.

Yes, I am taking this seriously. I posted my serious opinion because I thought other people weren't taking this seriously enough, you posted yours because you thought people, including me, were taking this too seriously. Yeah, there's a lot of internet outrage over stupid and pointless issues, I just don't believe…

You're right, there is a difference between the two, though ideally white actors wouldn't be given roles that were originally intended for people of color even if they're not in black/yellowface. It's true that whitewashing isn't equivalent to minstrelsy, but ideally, it would still be avoided.

Sorry. It's hard to interpret sarcasm online, especially on a thread where some people hold the opinion you were making fun of. My bad.

You're the one who's all over this page, responding to every comment with some crack about Margaret Cho. If anyone's seeking attention, it's you. Most people here seem to side with Swinton and I disagreed, so I thought I'd give an alternative opinion. If you'd rather dismiss and insult me than argue with me…

Based on what I've read, it does seem like Cho might've exaggerated, I just take issue with calling her a liar.

Mary Pickford, a white actress, played the Asian lead in Madame Butterfly, Mickey Rooney played a ridiculous and offensively stereotypical Asian character in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Alex Borstein played a strange and exoticized Asian character in MadTV, Fu Manchu has traditionally been played by white actors,…

The stand-up was recently on Bobby Lee’s TigerBelly podcast, where she revealed some of the details of her and Swinton’s talk. “Tilda eventually emailed me and she said that she didn’t understand why people were so mad about Doctor Strange and she wanted to talk about it, and wanted to get my take on why all the…

Giving a role that was originally written to be white to a black person doesn't have the same racist history as giving a role that was originally written to be asian to a white person, so it's certainly better. In a perfect world, none of this would matter, but our world still isn't perfect, so these two examples have…

What this article posted isn't the entirety of their conversation. Here's the rest of it at Vulture: http://www.vulture.com/2016…

Mary + Jane was so fun and weird. It managed to be impressively silly and quirky without becoming obnoxious. I also liked that Jordan was a free-loving, pansexual, anti-corporate hippie stoner because usually promiscuous female characters are hyper-feminine party girls and not hedonistic slackers who just want to…

That introduction scene was so good! I thought it'd just be a throwaway scene to show us that Letty comes from a broken home, but not only did the show follow up on that conversation in the very same episode, it proved to us that Estelle is much more complicated and sympathetic than we would've originally guessed and…

Didn't Brian Cranston star in Malcolm in the Middle before he was in Breaking Bad?

Yeah, the writers didn't really follow through on what they set up with Moriarty's storyline. Again, Joan proved her wrong after Sherlock gave her cases to solve that he couldn't even crack himself, but I guess Joan has proved herself competent outside of Moriarty. That takedown was just the pinnacle of her…

It was more Joan and Moriarty that I was responding to. When Joan figured out who Moriarty was, it showed she was a powerful analytical mind in her own right and not just a sidekick who followed Sherlock around and told him off when he was being a douche. She saw through Moriarty in a way that Sherlock couldn't, which…

Me too! Like this article said, her performance is fantastic and her character is extremely complex and well-written. Good Behavior also has what I consider to be the best use of its setting and episodic structure. After watching hundreds of shows that use one set in Vancouver for every single episode, it's really…

I was really surprised he was the one who was picked as the standout and not Kristen Bell. She's one of the few leads who really is the best and most interesting part of the show, making a character who should be obnoxious and awful into a funny and weirdly charming person who I actively root for.

Apparently the writers started tailoring the character of Lindsay to her after she came in to audition, so she's basically responsible for every part of the ridiculous yet somehow still sympathetic trainwreck that is Lindsay.

Her scenes with Lucy Liu were some of the most fascinating character interactions I've ever seen on Elementary. I still enjoy watching it, but it would definitely be infinitely better if Moriarty had popped up a few more times.

It's so great to see Michelle Dockery get recognition for her jaw-dropping depiction of the damaged and multifaceted Letty Raines. She was sometimes held back by the inconsistency of her character on Downton Abbey, so watching her perform to her full potential was the most pleasant surprise in a year full of much more…
