Comments section is rife with white hurt and tapdancing blacks that most likely spend 23 hours of the day on Facebook putting together lists of ypipo they’d “invite to the cookout” just because they wore a Black Lives Matter t-shirt in an Instagram post once...

Did it really bring this historical injustice to the mainstream? All anyone else seems to be talking about is that the joke wasn’t funny.

Why would there be?

It’s only “ironic” if you believe that Black characters worth rallying around can only be created and written by Black people, and if you believe that Black people also believe this, which is absurd. It also blatantly ignores the contributions of people like Christopher Priest (who is credited with creating the more

it’s the same as any post about SNL (or a few other shows) that pop up on the internet

That’s not ironic in the slightest. It’s an age old American tradition. How many other times have we taken the shit you discarded and made it into gold?

For sure, but your statement implied he was lacking, not that you simply didn’t enjoy it. Your phrasing puts the failure on him. It’s the same thing every time a famous funny person is in the news. Schumer, C.K., Samberg, etc. Somebody pops up with “they aren’t funny.” Well, statistically speaking, they are. Just not

I have zero problem with the author not rushing to pat Andy on the back for that joke. Common decency doesn’t deserve props, you shouldn’t get props for doing what you should do.

I love whenever a comedian is in the news because it inevitably followed by a bunch of “he isn’t funny” comments.

It’s like a physics joke told to a class of kindergartners.

Its basically tautology masquerading as an insightful observation... no shit Samberg, the rest of us, actually living on the ground floor of the nightmare, had no idea. 

Most of the people who tuned in probably had no idea what Samberg was even talking about. It’s like a physics joke told to a class of kindergartners.  

Paraphrasing a friend’s review: It was good to see Sandra Bullock make it through a movie without falling down for comedic effect. Well...almost.

Stop calling him Shirley.

Yeah but “black guy and white guy become friends” is like Oscar cat nip. If they could somehow throw in the Holocaust and a musical number it would somehow end up winning Best Picture for the next three years in a row.  

I saw the movie in a free sneak preview shortly before it came out (although after the whole Mortensen saying the N-word incident) and while I thought it was a perfectly amiable movie that did have good intentions (although by no means an award movie), there were also moments where I was internally going “no, no, no.”

Do not underestimate the raw power of a man eating a folded-up pizza as a sandwich.

Now playing

Than why is the protagonist’s black best friend arrested on trumped up charges by a racist cop literally named “Mason Dixon”’and she’s completely forgotten about until that last half hour of the movie? Why does the police chief, who the movie portrays as a good hearted, brush off “Mason Dixon’s” allegedly torturing a

A symphony of lies! An opera buffa of balderdash! An oratorio of oratory flapdoodle! A requiem mass of mendacium! A concerto of contrivance! A sonata of subterfuge!  

Green Book, like Three Billboards and Crash, tries to rebrand racism as an individual flaw white people can overcome rather than as a systemic issue propped up by white people. They’re basically the movies white people watch to why they still talk to their racist relatives.
