Young Adult doesn’t get the praise that it deserves. She and Patton were really good.

I agree, but I also loved Young Adult so I will watch this.

she is just like one of us

Amateur.

Thank you! People harm their own children and loved ones all the time; sometimes they even kill them. We call it child abuse and domestic violence, it’s not uncommon and people commit these atrocities with their full faculties intact.

Omg this!
I get so tired of people trying to find ‘the monster’ which is often an attempt to distance themselves from bad things, ‘I couldn’t kill because I’m not a monster... like that person.’ People do horrible things for all sorts of reasons because they are people, not monsters or mentally ill.

“Isn’t anyone who’d murder the innocents she’d been looking after and loving for over two years insane by any measure?”

First - shame one everyone involveds parents. Two of these people are actual children.

“But when I see op-eds, such as the one recently in the New York Times that states in the headline that the Metropolitan Museum of Art should not have appointed “yet another white, male director,” I recoil. That’s just another way of saying that white and male is a disqualification.”

It’s from “The Hawkeye Initiative.” A group of people decided to point out the ludicrousness of female superhero poses by using Hawkeye. So, I guess in a round about way that is a Liefeld pose.

BREAKING: White Guy Continues To Fail Upward On Wave Of Hipster Bullshit

No, you meant something VASTLY more stupid. You meant that if this exact same movie somehow came into being with a completely different director yet without one thing changed about how it’s shot, written, presented, etc., I would give it a much worse review because I’m so beholden to giving Ava DuVernay a pass.

Also keep in mind that I can’t say the movie was bad or boring because I didn’t think it was bad or boring?

I guess there’s some of that at play but this also is, to my eyes, a genuinely mixed bag of a movie. You can like something without thinking it’s flawless, and find something a little lacking without finding it loathsome. There’s going to be a lot of “YOU just like this because it’s a minority woman director!!”/ “Well…

My father and I shared a bottle of French wine worth a couple of thousand that he’d purchased when I was a couple years old (for WAY less) at an Italian restaurant years ago (before he died) and I hadn’t always been terribly gentle with it when moving.

It certainly makes sense that the person who created Full House AND Fuller House is a complete monster

Agreed. White until we aren’t.

They felt safe, probably because they are mostly white...

You don’t have to defend liking One Punch Man, One Punch Man was fucking great. All the old shit Skyfire mentioned were good shows, but they don’t confer any kind of deeper credibility. I recently concluded Victory Gundam but I’m not gonna kick rocks over someone’s shoes if they’ve only seen Build Fighters.
