It’s astonishing how swiftly the conversation has shifted from “‘Defund the Police’ is a problematic slogan” to “discussing black issues depresses the white vote”. Except its not surprising since soliciting black votes then scapegoating black people is the oldest tactic in the Democratic Party handbook.

I think its true wealth and fame may insulate celebrities to some degree, but what you seem to discount is the ample evidence that what often happens is that wealth allows people of all stripes to surround themselves with likeminded people and entrench themselves in views that they have always held. If you look at the…

Kurt Russell grew up with privilege thanks to his father’s father, actually. Bing, Kurt’s dad, was the son of successful business owner and attended Dartmouth College.

Nah, that dog looks exactly like her and I bet that its just as racist.

Michelle Yeoh is a fantastic actor and action star, but she didn’t actually do a motorcycle jump. When we see her land on the roof of the train, the motorcycle is actually on a wire. But she has always done a lot of her own fighting and stunts, and yes, Yeoh was amazing in Yes, Madam.

I’m still salty about the way Boba Fett was treated, but Mark Hamill was great throughout Return and Leia was badass even in a leather bikini. The story arcs were weak except for Luke’s, but making the Ewoks less cute and more feral would have gone a long way toward making the movie more bearable (ouch that pun was…

Yes, its time to go full Sid and Marty Kroft.

He’d trade the right answer for deer meat.

Well put, the intense, complicated, volatile but committed relationship between Mick and Leonard was far more interesting than most of the overt romances in the show (or in the Arrowverse for that matter).

All of those white women were nervously looking at the other white women for cues and permission to enjoy what they are seeing and hearing.

I had similar thoughts, though I also wonder if Mick’s talent would ever have blossomed with the Leonard around. I can’t imagine the sarcastic and unsentimental Captain Cold giving Heatwave’s artistic pursuits support.

My pet theory is DB Cooper re-emerged as actor DB Sweeney. According to IMDB Sweeney would have been 10 at the time of the hijacking, but that’s the perfect alibi.

There were a lot of homoerotic vibes in the friendship of Miller’s original Captain Cold and Dominic Purcell’s Heatwave. Their dynamic was intense and complicated for a CW show. The fact that they had been brothers on Prison Break did make it a little weird, and I wonder if that is why Legends never followed through…

Fuck Jim Clyburn. The GOP was always going to scaremonger race and liberal policies leading to communism — its what they always do. Is there an argument that rhetoric pushing defunding and/or socialism is strategically problematic with some voters? Probably. But that’s not what Biden/Harris espoused, nor did all…

There’s a cult for you too.

I think he started to crack even before he spoke, he must have known how ridiculous it sounded from rehearsal.

* The cold opens were never that good, but without reservation this was the best performance for Carrey and one of the best for Baldwin (Rudolph is uniformly great — what’s that about women being overpaid,Dave?). Macho Man and Loooseer? It’s a classic.

*Hold up: Sophia Loren is still alive? And working? She was young when she started her film career, but that was in the 1950s! Loren has got to close to 90 if not older, but looks much younger. I hope the film isn’t a white savior narrative, but I do appreciate Loren is using her time and energy to make films…

the game adopts the same basic design ideas that also seem to drive the PlayStation 5 it’s meant to launch:Don’t evolve; refine. Don’t offend; comfort. Don’t take that one big leap of faith, falling up through the void, and damn the consequences; stick to the baby swings, instead.
