ha ha ha ha, I forgot about that!

It’s almost impressive how they made a movie full of wild technicolor fantasy creatures and I have never heard a child talk about this movie or heard from a fried “Ugh my kid wants to watch Avatar for the 10th time this week.” Cameron worked so hard to make it a Serious Movie For Grown-Ups that it sucked all the fun…

This exactly. Even if we’re talking technical - every other James Cameron movie at least has a shot or two that you remember. Something about the 3D in Avatar took away from the framing and such. If another movie framed up a shot to reference Avatar, I wouldn’t recognize it.

If a doctor told me I could get raped and get pregnant as a reason as to why they couldn’t prescribe me a medication, I would absolutely start recording them and put them on blast. That is the most insane, inappropriate and disgusting thing a doctor could say to a patient. This guy deserves to be disciplined over this…

I’m just talking about it from a media perspective and how it’s being portrayed, not trying to put a label on or define what Styles is doing. Your points here are the reason why I hesitate to call what he’s doing “queer-baiting,” because it suggests that it couldn’t be intended for women who are attracted to men or…

Yes- that’s exactly it and what Billy Porter reframed his remarks to point out. If the media wants to fawn over a queer-presenting man, they would do well to do so over proudly out queer men.

Reading literally does make you smarter.

But fluidity doesn’t sell for everyone and it doesn’t sell to all audiences. At least not at the scale it does for Styles. That’s the thing. I hesitate to even call what he’s doing “queer baiting” because he’s clearly serving this up to women. Women starving for men who present anything other than toxic masculinity.…

Especially when it feels that his gender play is served up for the female gaze, something he’s basked in since his boy band days. He’s not in a dress on the cover of GQ or Interview, you know? I support his right to wear whatever he wants for whatever reason he wants, but I agree that Billy Porter had the right read…

this is my fear. I hope they evolve it in some way.

Screaming at someone while calling them “boo” and “young lady” is not the way anyone would yell at a man and go to illustrate the distinctively sexist quality of this disrespectful behavior.

shh.. hold me closer, Tony Danza.

First, I have seen sea turtles and reefs in real life in Hawaii where I have family and in the Bahamas, but thanks for assuming I couldn’t possibly know what I’m talking about. I saw plenty of color underwater in both places.

Elton John wrote that song for a reason and it’s tough to beat in terms of an entirely accurate read on her and a beautiful tribute.

True but taking all the avalanche of hatred from the shitbags and then getting the legitimately bad reviews on top of it from critics and audiences is a lot for any actor to deal with. Especially for no other reason than for Disney to lazily pump its IP for more cash. It genuinely seems like there’s no good reason for…

Well, I think it’s like the Ghostbusters reboot with Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig where when there’s a certain level of backlash and then the movie itself isn’t very good, it just sort of lets everyone down and lets the haters crow about how right they were that it was doomed to fail. I don’t think it’s…

Dude, it’s all fucking CGI. There were whole features about how the animators for Nemo and Dory took great pains to make the underwater world of the reefs and animals look as lifelike as possible. Disney just thinks it has to eschew all style and color to make things look “real” for these “live action” movies which is…

After Finding Dory and Moana, this kind of lackluster underwater world is shocking. It feels like it’s dark to hide how bad things look.

I think it deserved it for the first season just for being a totally unexpected yet funny and wonderful show. But I agree that this time around it should have gone to a more inventive show.
