I don’t think it gets hate for there being white people in the movie, that’d be dumb. I think they take offense to the fact that it is going to win ALL the Oscars despite it’s an ‘OK’ movie and not the greatest thing in the world. Basically there have been many great movies that feature predominately PoC casts that…

The disallowing of texts and calls while driving would seem to increase safety for both passengers and drivers. Kudos to them. 🌿

I attended a workshop in the Bronx today for educators and ate lunch behind a woman also in attendance at a local diner. She was complaining with her colleague/friends about waiting for an Uber at JFK Sunday. She had called as soon as they landed and they should have been there. Protestors should shut up. This woman…

Completely agree. The airport chaos is allowing Bannon to slip in and tighten his grasp over Washington.

Moonlight and Arrival were the best films I saw last year. Moonlight has an edge IMHO. It’s fantastic. Full disclosure, I haven’t seen LaLa Land and probably won’t.

Because Singing in the Rain and the like exist is why I’m not jazzed to see this thing. The stars are good actors, sure, but singers and dancers they are not. I don’t see the point in making this type of movie without those skills being at the forefront. Give me Fred and Ginger.

Yeah, that’s why Jezebel hates it, you conservative troll. Bitch, please.

the lack of diversity was pretty shocking to me actually, although I don’t know why this surprises me anymore. and I really, really wish they would have cast people who could actually sing.

My God, can he not sing! He has the sort of voice where I’d be pleasantly surprised if a movie called for him to sing a lullaby or whatever, but it sure can’t carry a musical.

My flatmate has been gushing about this film for a couple weeks. It’s one of the many things that convinces me I am making the right decision in kicking her out at the end of March.

This was on Saturday during the Debbie Reynolds marathon. It was during this scene. I stopped in my tracks and watched it.

It’s an OscarsSoWhite Cake.

I’m from California and I was appalled. An LA without Mexicans is no LA at all. Ryan Gosling can wear the hell out of a rolled sleeve, but he CANNOT sing. A white jazz musician, really? The only things I liked were the solid color dresses and the alternate timeline at the end. They should have made the whole movie…

I would add that the Kochs need a world that is not destroyed by nuclear war to make money. A narcissist with nukes is never a good thing.

This is just too much. Forcing me to be on the same side as Cheney and the Koch Brothers is unforgivable.

Eh... cynical as I am, if that were the case, they could have just remained silent. Cheney, for his part, knows firsthand that militants would twist a ban into a rallying cry (which is already happening). The Kochs may be conservative bastards, but I’m not sure they’ve been anti-Muslim (feel free to educate me if I’m…

Cheney and the Kochs are too old-school... they don’t want to see the American government burned to the ground, they think they can still use it to their advantage to make fuckwads of dough as they have for decades. Trump and Bannon literally want to see society crash so they can be in power to build it the way they…

One of the only sort of good things to come out of Trump is watching the Koch Brothers flail around realizing that no one will listen to them any more no matter how much money they have.

Dick Cheney and the Koch Brothers oppose the Muslim ban. DICK CHENEY and the KOCH BROTHERS think something is reprehensible. I would think that would be enough to make anyone question their life choices.

I’m Korean myself, and while I can definitely see where people are coming from when they say it’s creepy, I find it more comforting—makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
