I don’t know how this list gets made without Rick Astley, the original “come again??” reaction when I saw his video. I mean, not only is he white, but he’s this tiny dude that has a voice that belongs to someone with the body type of Rueben Studdard. It’s like a greatest basketball players of all time list without the…

And Pink is most definitely, definitely light-skinned. lololol

I am old enough to remember that Bobby Caldwell song being played on the radio and in my house by my very black parents and never once questioning that the dude was black. It is in the year of our lord 2023 that the scales have been lifted from my eyes, and I just can’t stop laughing. Holy shit. That’s a white dude!!…

No shit man. I used to have a widow’s peak. Used to. Now my whole dome is shaved weekly, because it needs to be. I am super jealous of that man’s har.

I actually think we’re on the same page. The concept of Black Captain America felt weird until they did it, and then it was like “oh, that makes total sense, go Cap!”- and the other thing is that I also know that Black Supe would just feel weird to me, and nobody ever named me as the arbiter of what should and should…

I don’t know if that’s... fair? I’ve got plenty of friends who I love dearly who have suuuuuuuuper problematic immediate family members whom I would not urinate on if they were ablaze (but may add gasoline). By all accounts Rick seems to be a really decent person, although you never really know. But I’m not here to…

This formula is not replicable. It’s the perfect convergence of reputation, past quality, nostalgia, and word of mouth- a thing where the anticipation builds years in advance and then when released people quickly finding out the buzz is legit. Metroid wouldn’t sell this well, and Mario platformers happen with a teeny…

But that would be a different story. A totally different story. Different stories are good. And there is space and room for different stories, kind of like how Dorothy Gale was a white chick from Kansas for nearly a hundred years until The Wiz happened, and the Wiz was amazing. But I want my Superman to feel like the…

It will never cease to boggle my mind that someone who seems like such a nice dude emerged from the same womb as an utter troglodyte. 

Oh I think it’s because the corporate mega entities behind Taco Bell have far, far deeper pockets and longer legal penises than this (probably popular) brand that I’ve never heard of. Will be interested to see what happens.

As a black man, I think it would be super cool to see someone who looked like me (although maybe not 52 years old, short and slightly pudgy) don the S- but... it would Super Weird. Superman is Clark Kent. Clark Kent is a white dude. I suppose they could pull some Captain America shit, where Clark retires and a…

Hear hear. The only thing to say is “I forgot myself, and I’m sorry for being an asshole” and then stfu. As an aside, when getting beaten in Madden ‘92 (ahem) in college one of my roommates had this tiny sleigh bell on his keys that he would shake and say “ring the bell, school’s in session!” which was both hilarious…

What a massive shitshow of a lineup! A “Press Your Luck” reboot? In prime time?? Can’t even begin to imagine what mouthbreathing audience they’re going to get for that. I’m going to use that time to catch up on movies I missed, video games and books. TV can definitely wait. Good lord.

You’ll be happy to know that he responded with some bullshit and I noped out of the convo. Some people are just exhausting.

I found it funny that they felt the need to digitally blur the nipples. I mean... she’s singing into someone’s bare ass for almost the whole video and we’re worried about some nipples?? I’m still laughing.

I definitely do not see this stopping me from sneaking in my own candy. Hell, I reuse the Icee cups that they give me on repeat visits, because if it doesn’t say “same visit only” it’s okay, and they never say “same visit only”. They probably never say that because keeping and bringing back the same cup to five…

I see that now lol. I’ve said my piece- twice- and I’m sure he’ll have some snarky rejoinder and I won’t reply. But in the silver lining department, at least thinking about this kept me awake for the last half hour or so. 

Can’t say I know the man personally, but reports I read indicated Besson met the child he impregnated when she was 12 and he was 29 and they started dating “romantically” when she was 15 (and he was 32!) As a 32 year old person, you are committing a felony in my state if you have sex with a child whether they be 12 or…

Can’t say I expected anything less from Nintendo then to put the time, money, effort and energy into their #1A property (sorry Link, Mario always wins) to make it look and perform the way it should. Would have been shocked as hell if it weren’t anything other than gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to play.

I’m unsure why both things can’t be true: 1) I found it slightly disturbing at the time time, but 2) I thought it was an awesome movie. Still think it’s an awesome movie, but the relationship between the characters is just not okay. The reason it’s still a great movie is because while the relationship is not okay, it…
