Just saw it on my app. Guess I’ll be “watching” Sherlock Gnomes tonight...

the app states that i had already seen it and could not “check in” for infinity war again.

real shitty that they did this the weekend infinity war dropped, without any notice to subscribers.

Culturally, yes.

1) But the only outrage is self-generated. Kondabolu produced a (in my mind) thoughtful documentary in which he tackles minority representation in popular culture through the lens of The Simpsons. He repeatedly talks about how much he loves The Simpsons, how funny he finds Apu to be, and how conflicted he feels in…

*Ms. Hoover voice* No she doesn’t.

That has...nothing to do with this issue?

One of the (many) things I hate about this is how they utterly corrupted Lisa’s character to make her a mouthpiece for the writers who refuse to adapt and learn. As a character she’s always been outspoken, but she’s been upheld as the show’s moral center just as much as she’s been portrayed as a humorless scold (often…

No one cares what you think.

it’s much easier to believe generations of Indian children are being bullied or made fun of because of an outdated POC stereotype on a popular tv show than it is to think of white kids being teased as “haha you’re Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel!”

The latter of which has probably never happened while the former is…

White trash is pretty broadly represented beyond Cletus. If half of Discovery Channel’s programming was filled with people of Indian descent, then we wouldn’t be talking about Apu.

Because Al Jean is an old rich white guy who hasn’t kept up with general social discourse on racism and thus thinks that what he learned/grew up with in the 70s and 80s was the pinnacle of human understanding and that kids these days are the ones who are wrong.

Can’t wait to see how civil the comments are going to be...

Does a bear shit in the woods? Well, so does this family.

“Let’s climb the west face of Siula Grande. It’ll be fun because nobody’s done it before.”

Same. When Marc Maron talks about hypothetical scenarios where he’d be hanging off a cliff, he’s like “I never imagine myself crawling back up, I just eventually let go.” I identified with that completely.

I am pretty sure I am not a survivalist because whenever I read summaries about movie scenarios like this I think, yeah, I’d just go ahead and die.

Yes, but they won’t admit it, due to “smelt it, dealt it” rules.

It’s not explored in any detail how the creatures came to be, but there is a newspaper clipping in the basement that tells of a meteor hitting Mexico.

I suppose these things could have been on the meteor.

I certainly never got the sense that the creatures were an intelligent species.
