Trump on set: “What is the motivation for my character? I don’t understand. Is the kid paying me maybe?”

He’s right though, it’s not his character. He’d never help a child.

Why, for 54 years I’ve put up with them now!
I must stop these Grinch adaptations from coming! But how?

“A Teacher” isn’t so bad in that regard and it is supposed to be senior year going into college with the time frame. I see what you mean though.

Hm, I think you’re right that we’ve never directly referenced that. But the show is pretty direct about it, what with the Myth Of Narcissus painting.

Shameless plug alert: I’ve been writing reviews of each episode within the context of the whole series (meaning early posts are full of talk about where the show is going, etc.) since 2016 and I’ve only got sixteen more episodes until I’m finally done! The whole dang thing is currently longer than any Lord of the…

i’m with you.  it was only when it was pointed out to me as an adult that the oompah loompah situation is british colonialism at its finest that i saw it.  as a kid, i missed it as i’m sure 99.9% of kids do.  ben schwartz “plays” dahl in that episode of “the dead authors podcast” & when dahl’s antisemitism comes up &…

See, to me, this is the problematic part:

Yeah, no. They aren’t decent people. There’s large swaths of my family that I won’t ever be talking to again. The idea that one should avoid politics and religion in conversation to avoid getting riled up is moronic. You should want to know when you’re talking to racist, bigoted, homophobes and not pretend it’s okay…

Well, *I* was saying boo-urns.

No one else sees Judy Greer as Kitty Sanchez?

Fun fact about Wind River: after getting cast as a Native American more than once despite being of Chinese and white heritage, Kelsey Chow, who played the missing and presumed murdered Natalie Hanson, claimed to be part Cherokee (it’s always Cherokee) and was promptly hit with a nuh-uh from the Eastern Band of…

I look forward to the contrarian arguments that will swarm the comments section when stuff like this inevitably draw up along with a bunch of other idiots claiming these Indigenous organizations are calling for “Censorship!”.

Says the guy who writes off the criticism of appropriation by white authors as “mob justice”, blames the “woke crowd” for your problems with the Star Wars franchise, and believes that giving platforms to Nazis is being “open minded”...

“I’m not from Appalachia, but confidently state the reason people think this isn’t a good depiction of the place I’m not from is because they don’t like its politics.”

Imagine being Ben Shapiro and thinking you’re any kind of authority on whether a movie is good or not.

Bold of you to assume a Netflix show will get a third season.

Good for them - I wonder if it changes anything about how their character will be portrayed going forward?  Probably not, because Seven was already pretty queer?  

I hope it does last. It’s actually really funny, and the characters are interesting —two things the original never managed.
