That moment where they raked Anne Hatheway and the Witches felt like a reach, I mean, we’re talking about the tiniest fraction of a population and countless monsters and aliens have opted for this.
In a weird contrast, are TMNT heroes for only having 2 fingers in that world?
The oppression olympics tire me out. I’m an…

I assume like, Room and 12 Years A Slave aren’t subject to the same rubric?
The most fucked up part of this whole faux-representation bullshtick is that when you actually step back and look at it, you’re basically saying you are incapable of enjoying movies as fiction, you need the added bonus of real life trauma as experienced by the actors otherwise you won’t like the film.
Exactly. If everyone put in this situation handles it badly, then what is handling it well beyond groveling for an apology and doing what the mob is asking for?
I think the better point is that movies are very, very expensive and the people putting the money up want people to go to them. Which means casting someone people know so they buy tickets. The option is making a very low budget movie with a quadriplegic actor no one has heard of, in order to hedge your bets, or…
Fair. I’m more saying that Bryan Cranston is better than most actors, regardless of able-bodiness (if that’s a word) and that I’m tired of the self-righteous tone that some of the writers here take, as if we’re all assholes for not immediately agreeing with them even before we read what they say.
Holy fucking Christ, people. Do you know who didn’t accurately portray Alexander Hamilton? Lin-Manuel Miranda. Do you you know who didn’t accurately portray Ed Warren? Josh Lucas. I could do this for hours. It’s called acting. This kind of shit is so fucking played out. Bryan Cranston was cast to play a…
I was thinking the same thing! While her acting portrayal of a person with autism may seem an affront to autistic actors, she was largely hired for her dancing ability. Considering how physically limited the character she is portraying, it would appear extremely difficult do get an actor in that capacity to also have…
Well, I’m sure there’ll be some uproar gainst Riz once they hear of it.
“Ziegler... is not autistic”. That sound like the STUPIDEST complaint in the world, currently (I’m sure there have been many others equally as stupid before). I mean, that is REALLY REALLY stupid. Do people not know what ‘acting’ is? Sean Connery was neither Russian nor a submarine commander yet he played both - at…
This is tough. I personally work with a program that helps teach media production skills (and life skills) to young adults on the autism spectrum with the hopes they’ll eventually get employed in the workforce. I love doing this kind of work with all of my heart. Coming from that end, it’s a bummer and feels like a…
So the new version is going to be more like ‘The Running Man’?
Gonna disagree - this is probably one of the safer shows to record during a pandemic. One contestant at a time. Outside. Very distanced. Hosts don’t need to be on set. The water is chlorinated. Let’s hope they clean the obstacles between people though.
Impossible. The five Secretaries of Defense that have served under him in four years have all been The Best Secretary of Defense.
It’s mind-boggling that people (myself included) back then believed she didn’t deserve the Oscar. It’s a fucking amazing performance.
It’s clearly that stuff from The 5th Element that drips down Zorg’s forehead when he talks to “Mr. Shadow.”
Why do you people immediately assume it is “hair dye”, like you always jump to the most humiliating conclusion just because you dislike the guy.
Why do people choose to utterly debase and humiliate themselves for Trump? And even though they know Trump will reject and denigrate them in the end, they still do it! Just plain suck-up greed can’t explain it. Is it some one-percenter sexual fetish?
