Beyonce the album, where Flawless is from was a much better album in my opinion and a lot more focused on her than her partner. Not by much, but she was feeling her strength in that album.

I remember watching Lemonade for the first time and thinking, why does this revolve around the man and what he has done to her?

Hands down the short “Vincent” is one of my all time favorite things he ever did.

Well, I’m half-Puerto Rican. What does that mean? I can only watch Beetlejuice until they go to the waiting room?

you may not have had that reaction while watching a diverse movie, but i’m sure it’s happened somewhere.

I heard Rachel Bloom and Aileen Brosch McKenna (the creators, writers, and in Bloom’s case the star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) on some podcast or radio show discussing diversity in television. They basically said that if you don’t specify that a character is supposed to be non-white, casting agents will just…

I was nodding along with you until I froze remembering all the racist douchebags* who freaked out about Rue from the Hunger Games being “made” black even though she was literally black the whole time, you guys. Obviously it didn’t hurt the franchise any at the box office, but those people do exist.

Especially for a movie whose premise is literally “children from around the world who are peculiar are gathered onto an island for their own protection”. I read the book and as far as I remember all the characters were described as white and European, but there’s zero reason that had to be the case.

Attitudes like this are so fucking disconnected from reality. I have never once watched a film or tv show and thought “huh, this was great, except it was a little too diverse.” I cannot for the life of me understand why directors wouldn’t want to cater to (or at least pay lip service to) the 37% of America that…

It’s easy Tim, you just take a role, ANY OLD ROLE, and assign it to a person of color; bc people of color should not exist in media as droll stereotypes for middle america to laugh at while patting themselves on the back for making the bare minimum attempt to be inclusive.

This is a really good summation of the character, I think. I really liked her, but she also had flaws and complexities that made her more interesting than a common trope.

I love the concept of breaking the fourth wall. I guess you’ve never watched the British sitcom Miranda: the show does it constantly

I just finished binging this entire season and I think the writing and performances, especially that of Phoebe Waller is truly brilliant. I found nothing unlikeable about her character. Sorry to be that person, but, if the character was a dude, he would be praised for being honest, troubled, sensitive, and ultimately…

I don’t think Fleabag is horrible. She’s not an easy character -- she’s grieving and angry and acerbic -- but I found her bothr relatable and likeable. She’s just a person, really, one that be awful and great in the same day.

I liked watching Fleabag, but it took me up until the last episode to realize that the character’s name was “Fleabag” and that it was probably a childhood taunt for Phoebe... (like Lizard Breath/ Elizabeth).

This show is really good, and I don’/t think she’s unlikeable. I loved how the arc of the story helped you understand her better.

This was an amazing series that ended up being much more that I had anticipated.

Wolfensohn? I think she can just go by “Wolf” now.

What you don’t see can’t hurt you?
