Well, except that last night’s Best Director winner is Mexican.

You know that Get Out was directed by a man, right? Your heart’s in the right place, but this discussion is about sexism, not racism. (And anyway, what’s Guillermo del Toro, a cornfed white boy from Nebraska?)

Was The Alienist considered unfilmable? I read the book years ago – good historical fiction, a real page-turner – and thought it was tailor made for the screen. I’d love it if they could wrap up the entire novel in the first season, made the second season about Carr’s sequel Angel of Darkness, then called it a day.

It depends on whether you agree that American Gods is worth $10 million per episode. That’s what they asked for, they didn’t get it, so they bolted. And now all the talent they hired to tell the story have to deal with the fallout. My vote still goes for petulance. But Fuller fanatics cannot be reasoned with, so I’ll

86'ed means canceled - American Gods isn’t canceled, is it? But I agree, Fuller’s (and Green’s) premature exit suggests a petulance that I did not expect from the guy. But there are probably a lot of other factors that we don’t know about.

Dan Stevens is on the case.

I mean no disrespect, but you must be very young to make a statement like that. TV has been rife with cast and staff replacements, network interference, bad decisions, etc. since the beginning. In the early days, they also had something TV shows don’t have to worry about now: the all-powerful sponsor, who typically

They can certainly ban @realDonaldTrump without banning @POTUS. But what difference would it make? Trump would just move his tweets to the @POTUS account. Unless of course Mike Pence won’t give him the password.

Cloverfield: Still Smoking

Is that the band with Chris O’Dowd and the Dutch guy from Game of Thrones?

And you wonder why your Uber rating is only 2.3.

“Severely injured” isn’t an accurate description. McGowan claims her lower eyelid was cut by her glasses in the 2007 accident, and that’s the only plastic surgery she’s admitted to. It certainly looks like she had a lot more done than that over the years, including a facelift, chin implant, collagen injections, etc.

No, eazy e’s point was just to bitch and moan at AV Club. Because he sees himself as an activist, but in fact he’s just a crank.

You’re avoiding the issue that you yourself brought up. People are asking you to name shows and movies from 2017 that tell the stories of Asian, Arab, Native and Latin women, but you won’t do it. You clearly have plenty of time to bitch and moan about things, but no time to research and enlighten us?

Why settle for complaining when you can also point the way? The article cited women-led films and TV that stood out in 2017. Please – and I mean this sincerely – list a few 2017 films and TV shows that told the stories of Asian, Arab, Native and Latin women, so we will know what AV Club failed to mention.

You’re ignoring the first part of his phrase: “Clearly there’s a problem with how the court of law handles sexual misconduct cases, so we have to stop thinking about this with phrases like “innocent till proven guilty”. Are you unwilling to recognize the legal context of that sentence? Well, fine. I should know not to

If you scrolled up, you’d see that I wrote this: “But I don’t like it when people who call themselves progressives peddle fascist beliefs under the guise of social justice, such as the user “sebfazio” who said we should rethink “innocent until proven guilty”.” In short, I believe that the removal of the presumption of

Please show me where I called the #MeToo movement fascism. Otherwise, you are clearly continuing your streak of twisting other people’s words around to make them look bad and to make yourself feel morally superior to everyone, which is why I will continue to refer to you as a concern troll.

You just put 2 and 2 together and got 5. I never said women were concern trolls. I was specifically referring to the user known as “recognitions”, who I believe is male. Now he is a concern troll - that is, someone who, in order to appear morally superior, will twist others’ words around to make them look worse. Just

Fair enough, I did not read the Daily Beast article until now. But even the Daily Beast bracketed “student court” in quotations, as if to say, how much legal authority does something like that actually have. In any event, it’s nowhere close to a public trial in a criminal court. The lack of public records gives
