That’s incorrect. Last year was the first one to have three releases — Guardians 2, Spiderman: Homecoming, and Thor: Ragnarok.

Wow, writers using their real life for plotlines in the shows that they are writers on? Someone alert the authorities, we have a major crime here!

I even heard that Netflix is considering releasing the show in episodic installments one by one on a WEEKLY schedule.

Tracy would be Secretary of Urban Development and Housing.

I mean a few of those can be considered stereotpes (Titus, Tracy’s wife Angie, etc.), but a lot of the time the stereotype IS the joke with those characters, and how they rise above those stereotypes is what makes things comedic (I would argue even Dong fits in that category.) It’s a hard balance to strike but, in a

As good as Kemper is, I can’t see her winning the Emmy, even without Dreyfus taking it. More likely is Pamela Adlon nabbing it for Better Things, which would be just as great.

“I believe this piece is meant less as [an article with actual substance], and more as an invitation to mock whiny racists.”

It wasn’t about gender for Star Wars. It was about race AND gender. They weren’t too happy that the other male leads were a black man and a Guatemalan, either. And that the white guys were the bad guys. Why won’t someone think of the white bros?!?

Wait, this isn’t for the Bruce Willis episode? Lame.

Rian Johnson did 1 sci-fi hit (Looper). His other films (Brick, Brother’s Bloom) were not science fiction. But whatever, NONE of that has anything to do with my point. I never said Johnson (or any of the Star Wars guys) didn’t deserve their gigs. But will a black man in Hollywood get the chance to even make his

I’m not going to repeat myself, but I still feel you’re making the same boilerplate response rather than actually looking at things from the macro level, which is all I’m presenting. Other minority directors aren’t getting the chance to EVER even get “previous success writing and directing geeky sci-fi series.” It’s a

“I guess she just picked who she thought was best for the job.”

Fuck, I know that too. I AM supposed to be the nitpicking usage snob, damn it! 

I’m unclear why you’re unloading all this Star Wars fanboy frustration on me. All I did was make a Bob Saget joke, dude.

Sicario is also more terrifying than most horror movies.

Burying the lead with casting here, what with Beanie Feldstein also being added to the cast. She was so freaking good in Lady Bird (and one of the few things of value in Neighbors 2.) My guess is she’ll be playing the main vampire’s familiar? Because that would be great.

OR...they could have not made the movie?

To be fair, those four Star Wars movies now only account for 33% of the total Star Wars projects released and/or confirmed to be in development. That still leaves 66% unaccounted for.

I find it strange that this board believes the statistics are some knock against Star Wars, rather than a point against the industry itself. Hollywood keeps propagating the idea of diversity and putting more minority voices behind the camera...but still hasn’t put the money where their mouth is for a large majority of

Yeah, but they don’t change that much from a young adult to an adult. Which is just my way of saying WHY DOES MIDDLE AGED TED MOSEBY SOUND LIKE BOB SAGET, IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
