I’m not sure the reputation Jack Baruth has around these parts these days, but this is some of his finest work and one of the smartest things I’ve ever read about owning cars.

That’s the one.

I think I’ve seen that film. Is that the one where at one point the union leader he gives a rousing speech to his workers about why they should all get paid the same and how they shouldn’t refer to their co-workers as’them’ just because they’re a different ethnicity and instead they’re ‘us’. His impeccable logic and…

I’m surprised no obituary I’ve seen has mentioned Cameron’s major role in the 1961 British film Flame in the Streets. John Mills plays a union leader who works to secure the rights of West Indian workers - in particular Cameron as Gabriel Gomez - but he and (and especially his wife) reveal their intolerance when their…

Most of the examples of blackface being removed are either 100% harmless or are actually a commentary on racial dynamics and the stupidity of blackface.  God this push this week to remove these particular episodes are dumb as fuck.

Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches
Come the hero would be me
Heroes often fail
And you won’t read that book again
Because the ending’s just too hard to take

It’s kinda like when your girlfriend breaks up with you and you tell all your mutual friends that you are doing fine and are better off without her, but really you cry yourself to sleep every night while alternating between pulls straight from a plastic vodka bottle and eating store brand Lucky Charms right out the…

let’s do it ourselves!
SPOILERS for episode 8

So that idiot who speaks perfectly English but with the thickest German accent (even when he talks with fellow Germans), is a member of the Krupp family. The Krupp family was a real thing, war criminals and all in both World Wars. No idea if our Krupp boy is based on a real…

I get master/slave. It isn’t really necessary at all, and more descriptive terms are actually better in most cases.

I think the elegant solution would have been to make Heigl’s character religious or a Republican,

I remember in the comments section for one of the trailers, someone going off about how Apatow was a propagandist for Big Monogamy.

Sometimes when you work on a project for so long you mistake improvement for actual quality. After a year you look at what you’ve built and think ‘oh man this is shit. This is so bad. This is like a 4/10’. So you address some problems, make some improvements and you make it a 6/10. You say to yourself ‘Hey this is…

The whole “we came to this land, a land of magic” bit really has me imagining a story based around the Fae, which is a big part of Celtic folklore and could give you a really interesting antagonist. Imagine if Merida made some deal with the Fair Folk to change her fate, only for it to endanger the kingdom and force…

Having rewatched this with my young daughter, thanks to Disney+, I’ll one further than saying Brave is uneven or mediocre. It sucks.

It’s crazy, having seen the movie, how manipulative that trailer is. It leans so heavily on footage from the first quarter of the movie- how many times can it show Merida riding her horse in the forest and snow capped mountains to make us think it’s going to be some kind of quest movie?

“What-if” is right (especially @ 1:51). Brave’s teaser trailer also got me pretty hyped. This was legitimately one of my most anticipated movies that summer. I loved the locale and time period, and there was enough arrow action and ‘defiant hero daughter’ to make this seem like it as going to be some sort of…

BRAVE was the moment that I realized Pixar’s unstoppable run was actually over.

If you’ve ever read what the Euro apologists write generally, the persecution complex is earned.

DeMuro HAS TO DO A REVIEW.

I there are any C7s languishing on dealer lots, now is probably the time.
