If one FX employee used the ‘c-word’ term to describe a female co-worker, that employee would be summarily fired. 

True fact: His house was on my brother-in-laws delivery round when he was a postman and he would wave and call out “Hello Mr. Postman” whenever he saw him.

Plenty of them are adults, it’s just that Youtube video makers are largely of the 1980-2000 generation. Not that they aren’t still taking advantage of them, it’s just that it’s based more of a lack of industry experience than age.

By everyone account a lovely man, and one of the great players of slimey dickbags (last thing I saw him in was Nightcrawler, so that particular archetype of his is most fresh in my mind).

Richard Spencer dresses like the people I see outside my local courthouse in badly fitting borrowed/second hand suits because their lawyers told them they had to look presentable in the dock.

The base defence of PDP was “look at the context” but as you point out the context was him being a dick to two people who needed money. I’ll grant that being a dick isn’t as bad as being an antisemite but it’s not as if everyone misunderstood what was actually a blistering satire of the alt-right. He tried to get a…

The really surprising thing to me about the Seinfeld complaint was that he’s playing colleges at all, he’s not an comic who’s moved with the times, and the current college audience aren’t going to have much nostalgia for his stuff either.

As others pointed out already they go partly on looks (I have a friend from a Sri Lankan Buddhist family who gets pulled aside for “random” checks more than anyone else I know) but also on names.

When you’re trying to name your kids but all you keep thinking about is the superhero team you made up in middle school.

Good god that would be a depressing diet, enjoy your mangelwurzel soup kids! 

The whole screed is just bizarre, how the hell is that the response from a professional teacher to the parent of one of their students?

It’s odd how it works out sometimes, just look at the Skarsgård’s, Stellan at his peak had the looks of someone who works at your bank and who’s face you can’t remember, but his kids? ...blimey.

The Orwell quote about people getting “the face they deserve” by the time they reach 50 is also applicable here.

Australian Mist..look at these goddamn eyes!

Pro:

I hadn’t read the short (though I’m interested to) but I had no trouble following the film as it was.

Arrival is worth it IMO, and fully deserves the best picture, director and cinematography nods...it’s madness that the woman who’s on screen for the overwhelming majority of the run-time somehow isn’t nominated for her performance.

“You should be big enough to allow people different political opinions”

It seems absurd otherwise, Arrival can’t be one of the best pictures of the year without the woman who is onscreen for about 90% of it being one of the best actresses.
