I enjoyed Ex Machina* but I don’t want any Brian K. Vaughn productions that aren’t Y the Last Man. Give it to me already!

I thought the same thing! These write ups have seemed a little clueless about social issues, not super surprised. But maybe I’ve been spending too much time on the much-heavier Watchmen reviews. This writer feels like a good match for this show, let’s just say that. 

Yeah that USO show where segregation just isn’t an issue AT ALL drove me fucking crazy. I don’t think I can keep watching this show. It’s one thing when your show takes place in some imaginary New England or Central CA suburb where there genuinely aren’t a lot of Black people but showing Black people in the late…

Before watching this episode I joked with my husband that Lagertha was going to kill some rapists and turns out I was wrong. She’ll be killing rapists next week. To be fair, she’s been killing rapists since season 1, it’s something to love about the character (that and amazing fur coats). It feels very “back to…

Same! I LOVED Agent Carter! Second season went off the rails but it really deserved better than it got.

Just wanted to say that I always thought that the chapter with Dr. Manhattan’s origin story in the Watchman comic was very beautiful and moving to me and I feel like this episode really captured that tone well. It felt like revisiting that part of the book, or an echo. But I’m more invested in the characters this time…

Yeah, first thing I thought of too:

deleted.

Your last reply to me started with “I get it you want to feel good about being “an ally,”...” and now you’re whining that I used ad hominem in response? Somehow I doubt that a person who seems to have just discovered that Hollywood is racist (and is telling us this like it’s news when precisely no one has argued…

I’m bi and I don’t love her. While sexism will always impact our perception of women in the public eye, I think calling any criticism of Stewart’s acting ability/persona inherently sexist may be a little disingenuous. Personally, I find her persona really unappealing and I like a lot of “tough” or “difficult” women.…

I’m a Black woman, so back the fuck up. Check my comment history if you doubt it (Howard University class of ‘08, I teach Black history now). And I’ve done a lot of anti-racist work where white people who do that work played critical roles-so I get mad when this particular woman, who was a radical and sacrificed…

This conversation makes sense to me when talking about like the Green Book but why are y’all coming after a white lady who gave money to the Black Panthers when they needed it and was herself a victim of COINTEL-PRO? It didn’t tangentially affect her, she was directly targeted. I get the general frustration at a…

Seberg was directly targeted by the FBI and stalked, threatened and harassed due to her support of the Black Panther Party. She was the victim of a deeply racist smear campaign. I agree that there should be more films and more widespread recognition on what happened to the Black Panther Party and those important…

I’m very excited that Jean Seberg is getting some vindication but Kristin Stewart does not seem like a great match for the character. I don’t know, maybe it’s personal bias but she always seems so unenthused, maybe not a good choice to play a radical idealist. Seberg always came across as kind of cheerful, at least…

My first reaction when I saw that he was sentenced was “not for the rape?” Fuck this guy, forreal, he’s shitty about a lot of things but especially Black women and I hope he goes away and stays away.

Buuut what bothers me about this theory is that surely a trillionaire would be happy that free-market forces won out in Vietnam? Politically, wouldn’t she be against the North Vietnamese communists? Her class interests are not with them. I feel like she’d appreciate that things have worked out in her favor in this…

Yeah, video of the orchestra playing a Victor Jara song (the “El Pueblo Unido” one) legit made me cry last week. It’s just so goddamn beautiful. You cannot kill a revolution. The spirit of all of the fallen and disappeared are being invoked in this struggle, people are very conscious about their fight today coming out…

I used to have a lot of guy friends in high school. I also had really nosy neighbors. One day a neighbor came to our door and said to my father “Is your daughter allowed to have boys over when you’re not here?” obviously stirring up shit and trying to get me in trouble. My father replied “I don’t want to make my…

Yeah, wow. I feel like the first commenter in this thread maybe doesn’t have Black friends? People I know will definitely be talking about Shonda Rhimes shows in a few years, way more likely than Fleabag or Killing Eve . I love those shows but they aren’t exactly the talk of my newsfeeds the way Scandal, GA and HtGAwM…

Yeah I was thinking Bear McCreary for sure, he creates really unique sounds that really give those shows texture and distinction. But to be fair, I’ve never seen a tv composer get as much love as Djawadi does from fans. It’s so strange to me that they picked anyone else!
