Basically, James Corden has so thoroughly owned the concept of a late-night show that the only way to move forward is to try a different approach.

Yep! And we’re all stuck here with no where left. I genuinely can’t find anything like old AV Club. It sucks. This site got me through some dark times.

There’s really nothing left here, is there.

Folks, there we have it. Peak Barsanti.

Vance is right that his song—one of only two Valiants songs that ever charted, along with “Barbara Ann” parody “Bomb Iran”—predates Carey’s by about five years,

If the show is any indication, she's not a very good actor and absolutely shouldn't have to deal with even a single tweet of racist garbage from dweeby fuckups who get scared whenever a POC is on screen.

I guess the charitable take is they didn’t think it was necessary at the time. Looks like they learned their lesson about their fans by now.

I love how they are like “she’s a great actor and person, you shouldn’t be racist to her.”  For the record, people shouldn’t be racist to her even if she were the world’s worst actor.

I’m glad Ingram is getting this much support, but it just underscores how easy this would have been to do when John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran or even Daisy Ridley were getting avalanches of hate when the sequels came out. What changed?

No reason for racism or violent threats, that’s inexcusable. However, it’s not racist to say she isn’t up to the task and that she is clearly in over her head as an actress.

I’m like 99% certain that Reva is one of the Order 66 kids from the start of the first episode “We run!” So the backstory chunk there should be interesting as she seems to be very, very invested in pleasing Lord Vader.

The people who are running their mouths off implying race is part of the weak character writing should get blasted accordingly. But the folks who are criticizing based solely on the character’s likeability shouldn’t be lumped in with those miscreants.

I don’t have anything negative to say about Ms. Ingram because of her race, yet I do not think she is right for the part. She hasn’t got the depth or gravitas to play the part, at least it is not on display. She plays like a bratty child and not someone with power. I can imagine a younger Angela Basset playing the…

I just wish her character was remotely interesting.

Funny how Disney didn’t do that shit with John Boyega.

this “controversy”, tweet, and article are Disney’s new Star Wars psy-op trilogy

It’s actually B.

Maybe they should have just let Lord and Miller finish what they started. It probably would have made at least around the same amount of money but not resulted in them having to spend an extra $100 million or so and hence pushing the production into what might have been a loss (previously unheard of for a Star Wars…

Yeah. Leia’s message is Leia in diplomatic mode, but when Luke comes into the detention block he says something like, “I’m here to rescue you. I’ve got your R2 Unit... I’m here with Ben Kenobi.” At which point she excitedly shouts, “Ben Kenobi is here! Where is he?” Which implies that her connection to Obi-Wan is more…

Second was the escape at the end where Reva was standing around shouting how Kenobi can’t escape her. There were probably dozens of Imperial ships around and, more importantly, she knew exactly the ship he was on. So I don’t think it would have been at all difficult for her to stop that ship or at least figure out a…
