Just bring back Star Wars Rebellion, but upgrade it with the following: (1) more audio and video clips, (2) more characters, (3) an ideology rating for planets that affects how fast support grows/degrades (e.g., a planet that is marginally ideologically disposed toward the Empire will have its support slowly move…

Except we’re not closer with “documentary” because no matter how good Get Out is as a film, it doesn’t pass the initial threshold of being a film concerning real people or events. You can argue how much humor is necessary to convert a film about fictionalized characters and events from “drama” to “comedy,” but when…

I read the article. It doesn’t matter how much metaphorical or emotional “truth” a film contains, that doesn’t suffice to make it a “documentary” without the film also concerning some real people or events. Otherwise every halfway competently executed film is a “documentary,” because I guarantee you that somebody…

I was going to say, “Especially with being dead and all,” but it turns out Christopher Plummer is still alive. Sorry Mr. Plummer!

Depends on the value of “a lot.”

DON’T FUCKING TOUCH OR SAY WEIRD THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE IF THEY DON’T GIVE YOU PERMISSION

Yes, I was hoping Peele was kidding in the initial statement and I’m sad to see he’s sticking with it. A film entirely involving fictional characters and events does not become a “documentary” no matter how “truthful” it feels to the emotions of the film’s creators and/or audience and I would say it implicitly…

But don’t forget the Dramas Without Jokes that were also nominated, like . . . Birdman [and] Pride and Prejudice . . . .

From Google searches for “satire definition” and “comedy definition” (boldface added):

Except that if the studio submitted it as a documentary, it wouldn’t have even gotten a nomination since it’s patently not a documentary by any reasonable definition — it doesn’t concern real events or real people.

I haven’t seen the film itself, but the trailers and other marketing stuff absolutely made it look like a “horror comedy” picture.

You’re not rebutting anything. His statement was “vast majority of women” and “most men,” not “all women” and “all men.”

Certainly the vast majority of people who actually publicly express opinions on the subject. The ratio of women I know who have talked about how much they want a large diamond engagement ring and/or being proud of the large diamond engagement ring they’ve received to women who have talked about wanting a small diamond…

The news cycle is now measured in milliseconds.

Quinto was cast on Heroes before his role in ST though.

If one of the elements of a crime is intent, then ignorance of a key fact relevant to that intent absolutely “exclude[s] someone from the consequence.” The crime is in intending to send nude photographs to a minor. If the sender does not have reason to know the recipient is a minor, then the sender has not committed a…

I had the same thought when I read the headline.

I would expect the police to intervene if they thought the people making the complaint had sufficiently documented what they were concerned about.

The women who sent the photos didn’t know they were sending them to a minor. There’s no crime on their part.

That’s interesting. (I’ve read The Outsiders, but couldn’t have told you the author’s name to save my life.)
