I loved this episode, and I love this review... But I just have to point out that according to IMDB and the end credits, that dumbass’s name really and truly is... ugh... “Booie."

Pretty sure an illegal chokehold is what killed him.

My god. Even the fact that we are celebrating someone LOSING HIS JOB as a consequence for KILLING SOMEBODY, and only after 5 years of public outcry, says so much. Call me when Pantaleo is brought up on criminal charges for what he’s done.

Wow, this guy. I love these nonsensical “X isn’t a problem now because it was worse in the past” arguments, from people who obviously have nothing to contribute to a discussion besides resentment that the discussion is happening. To borrow a joke from Hasan Minaj, it’s like calling Comcast to complain about the wifi,…

Ironically if it had been a straight couple and both had been equally obsessed with the creamcheese, they might have got away with it.

I believe they just “All Lives Matter”ed SLAVERY!

This loss is deeply felt. Morrison was a singular talent who cut right to the heart of the dynamics of oppression. Her legacy is an indelible part of the American identity.

Like many here, I enjoyed (with reservations) some of his early work, but Hateful 8 is what killed him for me. I think his earlier stuff had this interesting rough edge to it, sort of an adolescent quality, that made the violence, racism, and misogyny exuberant and tied up in the action, and therefore easier to…

It appears that Rober “R.” Kelly’s enablers are having a call of conscience

The problem with that theory is that she was provided no “style bible” and was told she had free reign creatively. She replaced cinematographers from the first season, and no one said this would be a problem. When her superiors saw the dailies she’d shot, their reports were “glowing.” No one informed this director…

It’s true. According to the IndieWire article, they provided her with no style guide, or any indication that they wanted her to follow the established style. They did not give her feedback on the dailies (reports were “glowing”), and even let her move post-production to London so she could cut the episodes with her…

This is appalling, and even moreso because it was the plan from the beginning to tell her she had free reign and then strip her style out in post. This is exploitation, pure and simple. Several of the actresses involved are EPs. They didn’t have any idea this was happening? How’s that for collaboration.

Really? THIS GUY is worried about pay structures that link one’s salary to one’s value? BUT WHY?

Yep, men and women DEFINITELY rap about the same stuff.

Jhonen Vasquez on Twitter pointed out that it looks like a lion ate a Lion King fan, and now the fan is singing Lion King songs from inside the lion.

I just loathe the portrayal of characters like this, who get their feelings hurt (by a woman, usually) and then act like giant man-babies, preserving their fragile masculinity by lashing out against anyone in sight, resorting to sickeningly violent behaviour at the drop of a hat, but we are expected to cut them some…

Yikes! As intense as that final show-down was, I didn’t find it nearly as intense and upsetting as Hopper beating up the mayor. I find it EXTREMELY off-putting when characters we are supposed to root for as good guys resort immediately to violence and torture to get their way. Beating someone up and threatening…

The Citations Needed Podcast did a fabulous episode where they tackled this very problem: Financial journalism that does no investigation on outrageous stories about “Millenials retiring at 35" etc, and perpetuates a system designed to bilk the poor by convincing them that they can “save” their way out of financial…

That’s exactly it. Free speech laws only protect people from LEGAL prosecution for expressing their opinion. Individual websites and platforms are free to (and must) clarify their own terms of service to establish what kind of speech is and is not tolerated. Being banned from Ravelry has nothing to do with the concept…

I’m from Canada, and we have clearly defined hate speech laws on the books. It works really well for us!
