You’d be surprised how many woman lose roles because of how their arms and legs look in a dress, or how just their arms look in a shirt. What I’m saying is it is all about how the actors looks. How they looks effects what roles they can and cannot get. And Hollywood blockbuster action movie producers only care about…

I will say in defense of OP that when I hadn’t seen the film I thought it was a gay romance film that I was very excited about it because there are not many truly incredible gay films, and when I read that Guadagnino would not have Elio be gay in the proposed sequel I was angry and saddened that Guadagnino would…

Maybe the male audience does not consist entirely of man children, but movie producers THINK it does. Agents push back because the perceived attractiveness of the actress would be diminished if she were muscular, she would lose roles because of it; yet the attractiveness of an actor is increased by it, and they will…

The character of Elio isn’t under age, he is 17, and the worldwide average is 16. The grown man, Oliver, is revealed to have had a on-and-off relationship with a woman prior to being with Elio, and they rekindled once Oliver returned home to America.Both of the men are explicitly bisexual and the film doesn’t shy away…

The men are shredded so straight male audience can self-insert themselves in the role, and the women aren’t so the straight male audience can fantasize about them. I’m sure Brie Larson would go to the gym if she was told to for the role, but it’s more that they don’t want her to, so lets not put the blame on her.

I unironically love both Bring It On and Bring It On Again. I was sick from school a lot and burned through my father’s action movies pretty quickly then eventually went onto my sister’s collection of “chick flicks” where I discovered I really love bad and cheesy movies meant for teenage girls more than action movies.

Jason in that suit—”damn, son” is right.

I think episodes when Bob and Linda spend time with their kids are my favourite episodes. The chemistry, despite being over-the-top and the kids being way wittier than a real kid has ever been, always feels like a genuine parent/child relationship. The show fixes the trend that says child and parent inhabit different…

No one is saying that Greta Gerwig should be nominated because she’s a woman. The Golden Globes nominations didn’t make logistical sense. Gerwig and her film were nominated for many other awards that night, but wasn’t nominated for best director, yet Ridley Scott was nominated for best director for a film that wasn’t…

Man, private hospital systems must be something else, because for my gallbladder surgery I had to wait for five months in excruciating pain they took mine out. It irks me how it is never addressed how rich these families actually are.

I stopped watching Goldbergs because, despite it being funny on the regular, every episode has the same formula and I couldn’t bear it anymore.

In the future I’ll try not to jump up and down and label something as racist rather than problematic.

(Sorry for the long comment)

I guess we’ll agree to disagree. In my view, I think that by the way the character is framed by the story at the end in contrast to the beginning, by the way Mildred treats him at the end in contrast to the beginning, and by the way Jerome treats him at the end in contrast to the beginning, I think it all says to the…

I see that it is realistic for the character not to see justice, but I think to have the character not see justice, to have him change only via what I think is a lazy last-minute attempt at character development, and then ask us to accept him is bad writing. I could accept the character if he had been given deeper…

I agree with you that you have to tolerate a level of bigotry if you are a minority in order to navigate the world. I also recognize the systems and societal history of bigotry that influence a persons thinking are much harder to solve than simply saying “don’t be racist, got it?” and not forgiving them until they’ve…

I will take your word for it, since I am not black and can’t speak for black people, but I found it troubling not because the film portrayed racism and bigotry but that the film tried to make the bigoted character sympathetic and understandable. I will say that as a gay man, since the cop is homophobic, too, I found…

I guess that’s where we differ. Any type of art about love and passion, even without much else on its bones, gets my utter investment. And that’s what Del Toro is good at — making art about his passion for so many things.

The film isn’t supposed to be a deep exploration of love, it’s supposed to be a fairy tale. And like with any fairy tale, if you are told something, like that the boy and the girl fall in love and have a connection, you accept it. Because like in any fairy tale romance, it isn’t a story about their love, but a story…

Three Billboards is racist trash hidden as black comedy and “deep characterization”, and I am disappointed so many of the contributors here fell for it.
