Hey, hey, my mom threw me a surprise party when I turned fifteen and I loved it. The best part was that she smuggled all of my friends into the basement while I was home. And in the basement. And too distracted by Need for Speed 2 to notice a dozen people entering the next room. Need for Speed 2 - now that was a solid…

You can’t generalize the Abolitionist so absolutely. Thaddeus Stevens was a strong proponent of integration and race mixing. Spielberg’s Lincoln comes down completely on the side that he was in a committed relationship with his African American housekeeper; some historians are less certain, but Stevens was definitely…

Although an awful lot of abolitionists were pretty racist as well. The standard idea wasn’t to grant the former enslaved people American citizenship but rather to get them to move back to Africa. Which was actually done to a degree as in the case of the country of Liberia (not that that worked out well for either the…

It’s OK to use “would” when guessing about how someone might react to something. You can say, for example “Let’s give John Waters a surprise birthday party. I bet he would love it.”

Look, only *I* get to decide when my child learns where buffalo come from.

The funniest entry on this list has to be the Disney wildlife doc The Vanishing Prairie, banned for showing a buffalo giving birth. Truly the sort of prurient, subversive content that will destroy our moral fiber as a nation.

I knew about the protests that accompanied the film’s release, but I gotta point out that the picture accompanying that paragraph is a bit misleading.

“Oddly, the Supreme Court upheld the ban of the film, but still largely nullified McCain-Feingold and ruled that, in general, corporations could not be banned from ‘electioneering communication.’”

we suspect that John Waters would likely feel some perverse pride knowing two of his movies have the longest bans on the list.

The issue with Titicut Follies is being repeated today. There have been very limited scenes recorded for the news inside the hospitals overwhelmed by Coronavirus cases because of laws regarding patient privacy. Which is good. But as a result we are seeing not just people who are ignorant of the scope, but people who…

I think its fascinating that even 1915 people knew Birth of a Nation was racist. And it did more then glorify the Klan.  It brought them back from the grave and made them more powerful, it also created all there iconography.  Cross burnings was not something the 1870s Klan did, the film made it up and the 1920s Klan…

What, that one completely context-free shot of Will Forte and Kaitlin Olson looking at the camera that is in every single damn ad these geniuses have run for the last 3 months didn’t sell people on the service?

We require video evidence.

What’s the big deal? You plop in a bunch of x’s, and call it a day.

Thanks for the explanation!

From the little I know, there is a ton of automation when it comes to animating things like fur, so it’s possible there is a glitch in the code which created a light spot under the tails. They may have tried to change the code only to realize that caused another set of problems, like creating artificial nipples, and…

“There’s a fucking asshole in there! There’s buttholes!”

That’s what he said?

‘What the hell is that?... There’s a fucking butthole in there.’

This movie should just be renamed “Hubris: The Musical”.
