I wouldn’t expect a teacher to stop a fight either, plus it was noted the school had a resource officer. I meant delays in MEDICAL intervention. There could be a chance nothing would have changed the outcome, however if it turns out that she had a witnessed loss of conciousness or dizziness/headaches and they parked…

Sounds like she sustained a very bad head injury, which I’ve seen happen in people who’ve fallen from standing height. Any delays which could have effected intervention should be reviewed by the school/board. I am not comfortable with the attorney suggesting an Elementary School student be tried as an adult.

Never mess with southern people that have 2 first names, especially if contains lynn and or may/mae

Some of NIN stuff does have a country vibe to it. I’m thinking specifically of Hurt, that Johnny Cash cover hits for that very reason.

Timecrimes (Los Cronocrímenes) 2007, was also pretty low budget in regards to the SFX and is one of my favorite time travel films.

I think all the bitter tears that would flow from an adaptation of the Xenogenesis series would sustain me for the rest of my life.

The trailer had me with Carrie Moss jumping in the air and the bullet dodging scene on the roof. Truthfully I remember not really looking into what the movie was actually about, but the fact that it ended up having a good plot was icing on the cake. I had come home from college during Spring Break, and my siblings and…

And that knife flip never stops being cool as fuck.

He did, looks like he was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor. Denzel is wonderful, even the not so great movies are fun to watch. I remember listening to the episode on Virtuosity and having a good laugh because I saw that movie at least 3 times. Sometimes I make my cousins younger…

W.Kamau Bell and Kevin Avery made a podcast called Denzel Washington is the greatest actor alive period. It’s a great appreciation of Denzel’s work, but more importantly they speak about the under-appreciated artists/creatives of color that surround him. If it wasn’t for the show I would never have seen this film and…

There was a black Roland, Idris Elba, but the movie was terrible and not really based on any of the books and existed as an “alternate” story/timeline. I don’t even really need another black Roland, just a more deft hand at the black character that is already there. Look at how they gutted the portrayal of Mike…

I think Donald Glover could stretch himself more than he has in the past. I’ve enjoyed the way Zazie Beets’ character has been written in Atlanta’s most recent season. Plus I think Issa and Donanld’s lived experiences as black people learning to be comfortable in their own skin but also navigating spaces where they…

You are cherry picking from my direct responses to specific points in your posts and applying them out of context to other points in other posts to make up things I never said. I brought up heroine etc to qualify my issue with with your point that it would be just like adaptating LOTR, because its not. I never used…

You misunderstand, I want to see the book depicted as well. I don’t know how many King adaptation s you’ve watched but they are many in their excellence and terrible ness. Bottom line is a good adaptation does not require a rote retelling, and a good writer \producer will understand the work but also understand its…

This is a hard question and I think something like this has to be perfect blend of writing \production. My favorite dramatic writer is Sally Wainwright but this is way out of her wheelhouse. Writers who I think could make the character work Mara Brok Akil, Veena Sud, Issa Rae, Lena Waithe, Donald Glover, the writers…

It’s gonna be difficult as hell to do without offending the hell out of every last person on the planet

Peter Jackson didn’t even adapt LOTR “as it was told”; he left out many, many things. I was quite clear and specific about what was not comparable. The horror/nightmarish elements aren’t an issue, I would like to see that also; but given Amazon’s shows thus far I’m sure it will be more like a Western than anything else…

Exactly. Let’s not pretend there isn’t a difference. Blaxplotation as given to us by say a Gordon Parks or the Hughes brothers is not the same as what Quentin Tarantino is giving.

But there are no “real word” aspects at all to Lord of the Rings so why would you use that as a comparison. Just because the fantansy elements of the story exist, doesn’t mean they are comparable works. There are subways, heroine, addiciton etc. even Clint Eastwood is called out in the books. I am Dark Tower Fan too,…
