I’ve come to the conclusion that Ben Falcone must be absolutely incredible in bed.

I don’t disagree (see below) but there’s every possibility that a) McCarthy genuinely thinks he does quality work and/or b) simply prefers working on projects with her husband. I’d love it if she went off and made another Can You Ever Forgive Me, or at least worked with Paul Feig again (they’re both in need of a win),…

Is it a lot for you to come back and respond to a single one of the comments from people calling you out on your bullshit? All you’ve done in here in multiple threads is comment once and then run away.

Are you under the impression that a person’s “views” can’t be mean?  Everything is someone’s view.  

It really matters when either the person’s ethnicity is a key part of the story, or when the ethnicity concerned is one that suffers from either general discrimination or specific under representation in films. I’m more relaxed in other circumstances. But getting upset about non-white actors playing white roles does…

and means obviously you know they’re right and wish they weren’t so cavalier about it

“It’s simply his views” — You realize that’s worse right? It makes his callow bullying into outright bigotry and propaganda.

Noooope, they aren’t mean. It’s simply his views.

“Jerrod Carmichael has had a hell of a 2022; his most recent stand-up special, Rothaniel, has drawn strong reviews, both for Carmichael’s willingness to talk about his life—including coming out as gay—and for the deft way he talks about how those reveals have affected his relationship with his family in the…

We do. His jokes were shit. I saw him live decades ago and he was hilarious. Now he isn’t. This too hard for you to understand? I mean, don’t strain yourself bud.

Noooope, they aren’t mean. It’s simply his views.

The problem is that Nutflex gets their customers’ money regardless of whether or not they choose to watch transphobic content, which has started making a home for itself on the platform. Dave Chappelle is cashing checks from their fees. Sending a message that transphobia is unacceptable and will always be met with…

You know that you don't have to keep defending Chappelle like he's your momma, right?

And where does he go? Or Gervais for that matter? They’re both has-beens and their jokes about white people or religious people are boring and old now. These people have no where to go but whatever edgy bigotry is big now and today its trans girls. Tomorrow it’ll be someone else. This is how many comedians make their…

My favorite part about arguing with people who claim nobody but white progressives/wokes/academics use the word Latinx, is that they keep using the word Latinx in their arguments that nobody uses the word Latinx, and then web crawlers searching for new words to add to the dictionaries go “Wow, people sure are using…

Oh look, Maul Keating is mad about something involving women. Must be a day ending in y.

To be fair...they really didn’t handle the previous twenty centuries very well either, but they escaped scrutiny.

Good. Stop throwing money at this fool. He isn’t a Faulkner or James. He writes big-kid scripts and if he can’t figure out what an audience requires in a narrative he should make room for fresh talent.

Thanks so much for this, and your other post. I was trying to figure out a way to say something similar, but I think you said it better than I could have. All I can add is a personal anecdote.
