It’s also a petty complaint in reaction to a movie review. Granted, the review makes a lot of hay about how the movie supports a Latin viewpoint, but vocabulary choice is still a petty concern.

Many nonbinary people prefer ‘Latine’ as a descriptor and some prefer “Latin@’. No minority is a monolith, and speaking as if they are solves nothing.

Will this end up like Crazy Rich Asians where the beautiful wedding we’re supposed to “ooh and ahh” over will just make me want to reach for the guillotine? 

“It’s even harder for older writers. You don’t meet many 52-year-old white males.”

Yes, Woody has a right to tell his story, and no one took that right away. He does not have a right to it being published by a major publisher.

Is Johnny Depp really “inexplicably beloved”? Inexplicably? A pop culture writer really can’t put her finger on a bunch of reasons why Johnny Depp, super sexy and charismatic star of 21 Jump Street and countless other projects, might be beloved? I’m not even saying he’s not a shithead. Of course he is.  But if why…

Perfectly acceptable that the film won Best Picture.

You do have to admit, Mr. Hanks is a pretty smart guy. From the New York Times interview:

No. First of all youre giving that dipshit too much credit. Second the conservatorship was a sham. Third she 100 % has a prenup so getting out of the marriage is nothing. And hes only random to YOU. You equate him with pig kkkops and the dbag attacker. A guy she married when she was what 19? You know nothing about the…

Absolutely idiotic. This is embarrassing 

It is exceedingly petty of me, but I’m super fucking glad that so many people watched if only to undercut the Fox News pundit fuckinghorseshitassholeryifuckinghatethemsomuch insistence that “nobody is going to watch/care”.

Even if he did, my understanding was he did this to women working for him which is a huge abuse of power. Especially in the entertainment industry given how cut throat it is.

“Amber Heard Verdict Sends A Message To Black Women Everywhere”

The emails with the ACLU are what killed that argument, rightly or wrongly. When you have a conversation that effectively said “This is about Johnny Depp, but my NDA means I can’t name him” and those lawyers give you tips on how to write it so it’s clearly him, but not him, you hurt your argument even if she is in the…

Cancel culture is very real and existed decades before anyone thought up that name for it and has been used by all sides. It’s just not very effective in the long run. Just because something doesn’t work, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

All criticism here now is first and foremost cultural criticism.  There was absolutely no way in hell this movie would get anything other than a very positive review.  

Yes, but is it funny?

I think Ellen ultimately suffered from trying to create a product built on being nice and kind. People, particularly the media, delight in a facade of goodness crumbling. They did with Rosie O’Donnell’s show in the 90's, with Ellen now, and I assume they will do it with Kelly Clarkson in 10 years or so. Mr. Rogers is…

You hoteps are such diseased trash

Well people certainly seem to have feelings about this.
