I didn’t get method acting- I got “Please don’t hate on me because I am a straight man playing a gay role. There are a hundred Cheyenne Jackson stans ready to claim “gay roles for gay actors” and I would like to avoid that.”

I was about to comment about how many scenes I noticed, as a baby gay, because of the objectification of men (Bondage in Indiana Jones, Princess Bride, etc...)

I didn’t miss that Halle has been used as a hip-hop cliche to downgrade other black women on the basis of their appearance. (“Missy Elliot thinks she looks like Halle Berry/That scary”) 

I’m really not getting this contempt for a man standing up for his wife.

Aside from the circling helicopters and different city PD cultures?

You named 54 black characters- I counted multiple electricity themed, power suit themed, and cyborg themed characters. I counted multiple re-launched ( John Stewart, GL, Fury, Firestorm) characters. I counted multiple “Brick” and Umbra/Shadow themed characters.

I feel like superimposing your own picture over Pac and Biggie is like daring the Universe to shoot you*.

OT, but: Who are these people who are fans of both the Kardashians and Pink Floyd? That is a Venn Diagram with no overlap, y’all. As a White Old and Pink Floyd fan, I’m baffled by everything about this decision.

1. The word “racism” doesn’t appear anywhere in CPM’s piece- and yet, you have repeated that imputation twice. You seem very defensive in response to an argument the author isn’t making.

It was an awakening for me when I realized why Charles was allowed to be in the same picture as Jean and Betsy and Emma.

You... seem to believe your comment is a counter-argument to CPMs piece about patterns in the genre re:black characters.

Just a hypothesis, but- in the Superhero genre there is an old division of heroes into classes like Brick, Energy Projector, Martial Artist.

Coppola signed on to direct the film, set in the Civil War, before Lemonade was released (March 2016 v April 2016.)

I can’t speak for other white people, but I would say the same thing to the hypothetical black-to-white transition lady that I would say to Rachel Dolezal (AND the woman who got plastic surgery to look like a cat.)

If you want evidence that Son of Baldwin was speaking about white people and not “bigots”, here is his response to a comment on 6/18 by “Jennifer”

That “big, bold, disclaimer”? Is the equivalent of “I’m not racist, BUT...”

I think your decision to not post a link to the Son of Baldwin piece is a good one, like your decision to not post videos of the behavior at Evergreen.

Trank went on to destroy Fantastic Four, and while I have not seen the Edwards cut of the Rogue One, the Edwards-Gilroy version was excellent, and a smash hit. On that basis, this paean to artistic integrity seems... misguided.

The source who made the “fold their socks” comment is definitely in the Lord and Miller camp.

Now playing

I’m more partial to the re-mixes, but this right here...
