A fair number of people will watch the show and think the human chess game was inspired by a historical event. It takes a severe lack of sophistication to say that everything is either fiction or non-fiction, and if it’s fiction then it owes nothing to verisimilitude. All fiction establishes an implicit compact between…

The Amityville Horror was based on a real hoax 

Ghosts aren’t real.

Any small chance I had of being interested in this movie has just ended.  There is a terrific IJ trilogy (yes, even Temple of Doom), and I’m fine with that being it for the character.  Last Crusade ended with him literally riding into the sunset, for God’s sake.

Masturbating Teen was an acting role in the 90s? I never realized how method I was.

Gee, remember when, back in the nineties, people weren’t necessarily obsessed with whether a band took over the universe on all media platforms or not when they discussed their relative importance or influence?

Sounds like someone didn’t get any love in the early 90s. Mazzy Star was a great “mood setter”. 

Iconic band for those of us of a certain age. Really captured the zeitgeist of the early 90s Alternative scene.

I’m assuming you’re not a Gen X-er. B/c yes, the greatest products of Western culture are the things Gen X enjoyed when we were kids.

Sounds like someone who didn’t watch the problem with Apu. Just because there was no social media for people to use to complain about things doesn’t mean people didn’t have problems with racism decades ago. I hate to break it to you but racism existed before facebook and twitter did and people who were the victims of…

yeah at the end of the day he’s a dude at a job with bosses who tell him what to do.

Regardless of whatever anyone’s personal thoughts on this controversy, it takes a pretty big man to be forced to look at one of his iconic roles and peacefully recognize that, hey, maybe I should try to see how this might have upset people.

Do you really think there was a chance they were going to say “Sorry, you have to keep doing the voice. We addressed the issue already”?

but that he eventually came around to understanding the various critiques, especially when he framed it through his own Jewish identity. “[I]f that character were the only representation of Jewish people in American culture for 20 years, which was the case with Apu, I might not love that,” he said.

I feel like not enough is said about just how solid the women of SNL have been for the past, I dunno, ten years?

more like cecily strong actress

Wanna see an SNL article not about Pete or the news anchor guys someday, all just “Cecily Strong shows up to work regularly, does good job, does not look like a candy cane with a bunch of tattoos on it.”

Maybe...Just maybe...The defense should stay away from the phrase "He took it like a man."

It’s known as the “Uncle Junior” defense.

The thing it reminded me of was a short-lived ‘90s MTV show hosted by Jon Stewart called You Wrote it, You Watch it.
