I mean, I hate to utterly miss the point here but, "Disinvited"? Come on.

Totally went over my head. I always thought it was all the mental processes going on in Neo's head before he answered. That actually makes that scene slightly better.

Did they all look like Neo, then? I just thought it was a visual thing to describe those who went before him.

Julian Casablancas is Richard Hell's love child.

"…Superman…"

TBH, I had zero interest in seeing the film, but from what I understand it garnered positive reviews all round and had solid oscar buzz before the controversy arose.
The fact remains that Parker was officially declared innocent of the crime, whilst Affleck never was. Whilst the situations aren't identical, the…

Yeah, The, 'Ben' Was a typo. The in detail part was to emphasise that this wasn't just something that happened once buit a persistant campaign. Lengthy, as in it continued for an extended period;
"In December 2008, Amanda White agreed to
serve as a producer on an untitled documentary headed by Affleck and
Flemmy…

Yeah, I did in fact mean Casey. The sentence I meant to write was, 'Ben's brother Casey'.

I'm a little curious about this.
-Nate Parker's film loses out on an oscar bid after it emerges he was acquitted of rape almost 20 years ago.
-Ben Affleck is accused (in detail) of sexually assaulting several women in 2008 and still gets nominated.
What gets me is that one man's career is *at best* stalled by a 20 year…

I mean, he was acquitted but his career was destroyed by it.
I mean on the one hand, he was found not guilty. On the other, it was the 1920's and he was a movie star, so.

I don't want to nitpick, but the whole "Nowhere in history is awesome for me" assertion simply isn't true and is part and parcel of the reduction of black history. Racism (I don't mean xenophobia but proper, 'black people are subhuman animals' racism) is a relatively new idea that came in with mass slavery.
African and…

Having not seen the clip, I need to ask, what was the nature of the controversy? Fiennes is nowhere close to the first Caucasian to be cast as MJ and it's not like he's blacking up to play him either.

As in, they were discussing the comic. We all pretend the film never happened. I thought that was the agreement.

The comic, good God, not the film.

I mean, I knew what kind of programme it was when supposed nerds were arguing if Wolverine originally had bone claws, post Wolverine Origins.

Do you even real China, bro?

You're getting him confused with William Shatner.

David Bowie is English! What about Prince and Leonard Cohen.

Loved those ones. Can you imagine 12 in Midnight? He would have had the crowd against him before the bus even broke down!

But come on now, what is Matt Damon doing in this film at all? This is a film about the great wall of China for God's sake. It reminds me of films like Impossible and The Flowers Of War, or Shaka Zulu, or Glory. You can make films about pivotal non-western events in history, but only through the eyes of, or how it…
