Say what? On Parks and Recreation, four members of the main cast were of minority or mixed-race descent (Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, Aubrey Plaza, Retta). And both 30 Rock and The Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt were designed partly as a vehicle for their African American male leads (Tracy Morgan and Titus Burgess,…

Am I seriously meant to pretend that the in memoriam joke wasn’t funny?

He fucking called it, too. At least half the speeches were high school political science blurbs.

In fairness, he was sorta right about the “In Memoriam.” thing. Moonlight almost certainly won Best Picture as reparations for the #OscarsSoWhite thing from the previous year.

Predictable hot take from the AV Club: A recap based on the reviewer’s interpretation of the politics and intentions of the performer. Bonus points for zero fact-checking.

Did Gervais just forget that he’s done comedy specials for Netflix?

Gervais interrupted himself with a little rant about how everyone in the audience is a hypocrite for working with big companies like Amazon and Netflix and Apple and how nobody has the right to thank any of these companies in their speeches because none of the actors in attendance went to school.

The only thing worse than a bad joke is someone making that same bad joke repeatedly. I’m not sure what convinced you this was so clever.

What does the Jesus call a 7-10 split?

It came up organically!

 I applaud you for actually thinking for yourself, but your mistake was thinking that you could convince the drones to go against their programming. Your opinion was nuanced and in no way absolved Dr. Disrespect of wrong doing. I’m sorry that you have had to deal with such mindless negativity on this thread.

I’m not a fan of the “power dynamic” argument because it seems to imply that a famous or powerful person simply can not have consensual relations unless it is with someone else who is equally powerful and/or famous.

If it’s your direct superior then it’s not a good idea because it can be seen as trading sex for…

This is a level of insight into Guybrush and Elaine’s relationship I really don’t think I ever needed.

I think the Liam Neeson fiasco taught us that admitting our past mistakes and sharing how we’ve tried to learn from them just gets us shamed for not getting it all right the first time.

Because he didn’t actually break the law. The law requires provable ill-intent.
