the only crime being committed there is the crime of ugliness, which you can unfortunately not press charges for

I'm late to the party because I just saw this film, but I really want to step up and depend that ending.

Still it felt like the sort of makeup you have to do when you say something mean. Not when you dehumanize your partner in front of someone else.

I'm gonna side with the article on this one. Even just Poussey so quickly forgiving Soso for the grossly racist way in which Soso described her to Judy King sunk that relationship for me. That wasn't the Poussey the show depicted before. From that moment forward that relationship felt contrived, and whether or not you…

Even as someone who disagrees with some of the points the writer is making, I'm kind of troubled by the assertion a lot of people are making that she doesn't understand the point of moral complexity or the tenets of good characterization because of her critique.

While I don't necessarily agree wholeheartedly with it, I think the author is making an interesting case against "moral complexity" for the sake of itself. I'm still not onboard with the way the writers decided to resolve Pennsatucky's assault storyline. Obviously, they added some complexity there, but in a world…

I think you're absolutely right. Her "fabulousness" always kind of rubbed me the wrong way, as if they couldn't get past stereotypes, and really didn't try.

I'm very much in the same position in terms of dramatization vs exploitation issue. It's definitely something this piece opened me eyes to more w/r/t Poussey. I know in that particular case the one thing I was originally uncomfortable with was the (for lack of a better term) the mixtape of real life tragedies ("I…

Slightly unrelated, but how did y'all feel about the use of Laverne Cox this season? I always assumed her playing such a small role was due to an increasingly busy schedule, but it still felt like she was kinda sidelined, despite how intense her plot was. We only ever get to see her when someone comes to her cell.…

First off, I want to thank you for this. Whether or not I agree 100% it's important to hear how a narrative like this plays to an individual for whom it's conflict is a visceral reality.

"The only person who has ever killed on this show is the hilarious Louie Anderson, and that woman deserved it."

And to think you can find a cheaper, tackier, uglier knock-off version of this in "InAPPropriate Comedy"…

Whoah whoah whoah…are you trying to say that a piece of media focused on the apocalypse is interested in how humanity responds to it? If that weren't impossible, it would definitely be totally new and groundbreaking

I have a special place in my heart for this movie, not least of which because the Rock is goddamn fantastic in it. He's the funniest part, the most likable character, and the who feels the most raw. It's a testament to Johnson that that toe moment doesn't just feel like absurd comic relief. It's weird; it's gross;…

The way in which cobblers are normally portrayed on film is patently ridiculous
