Guess I'm in the minority but The Other Black Girl was extremely disappointing for me.. it was such a boring let down after so much potential. Don't know the source material but the show needed something.. more

Ah yes, those damn Millennial assholes, like Jane Austen, F Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Dickens.

I’m glad people were willing to put up with my nitpicking.

Gadd is a writer. This is not his first project — he’s written for bunch on shows on British television and radio — and one of the truisms about writing is “write what you know.”

I agree.  He made something he loved.  He’s not hating on the critics or saying that they’re idiots and that he made a masterpiece. He made something he loved, and he still loves it, and good for him.  You’re allowed to love something you worked really hard on.

I occasionally go back to Tim Burton’s Ed Wood just to remind myself that no matter how bad an artist someone is, that doesn’t mean at all that they can’t be a perfectly good and nice person who deserves happiness like anyone else. And if they’re still proud of their work, that should be celebrated.

We live in a time of Chris abundance.

That means 55% of critics agreed with you.

“is a tough watch”

Well it would kind of have to be, Piers Morgan was there.

You know, good for him. 

No, I actually intended the emphasis to be on ‘second’, and forgot to italicise it. As in, even 54 seconds would be unbearable, let alone the hour.

I’m more inclined to think we should he blaming editorial for this; there’s no way the demand for “content” covering this story wasn’t coming down from on high, IMO, and that’s the real source of this kind of trickle down toxicity. 

I think you reversed “minute” and “second.”

I like it a lot, too. And I tend to like Norton’s stuff generally, which I know he often has a hand in rewriting. I don’t love how pushy he is about having creative control but I can’t argue with the results. To this day I think people are too quick to love up on the Ruffalo MCU Hulk. Norton’s Hulk and Banner have…

oh it’s not bad by any stretch it was just such a wild move.

I can't figure out the order of operations in that headline.

My theory is that a lot of people misread his whole act. He’s really a pure stand-up guy at heart, and while he’s not above mining his personal life for jokes, the whole thing was always treated pretty light and breezily because when you slow down and address actual pain, the comedy tends to stop for a while.

You die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the establishment - also see Bill Maher.

It remains remarkable to me how well the casting turned out for those movies, both on-camera and off. I know they did deep dives into looking at pictures of the candidates’ parents and sibling to get an idea how the actors would age but ther was still a rolling of the dice.

In his Variety interview, Felton also took some time to address his Potter days, as he always seems to be doing.
