I’m still SO excited for this movie. I refuse to believe that there is a possibility of it being less than spectacular.

Seriously guys, if the new Ghostbusters movie is a suckfest I’ll be emotionally shattered. I love the cast so much.

Or a black woman filled with an all consuming kindness and desire to help white folks discover their destiny

I get your point and everything but to say that Meryl Streep was playing “a mother” in The Iron Lady seems about as fair as saying Brando won for The Godfather playing a Legitimate Businessman.

I’m...confused. These categories are not mutually exclusive. For instance, the pic accompanying this article. Would you categorize Cate Blanchett’s role in Carol as a “wife” character? I certainly wouldn’t. I would categorize it as a character who, among the many things about her, is married to someone.

Actually, I can’t, but as I mentioned in the post above, I grew up in D.C., which was heavily integrated and had a big Black middle class. I probably should have clicked through all the links, so that the exact nature of why this woman is considered not beautiful was explained to me before I posted. It looks like…

It may not be surprise. It may be disbelief mixed in some proportion with disappointment. When I see the wretched refuse post racist or sexist comments, I don’t think “Gosh, look at that, somebody thinks black people are inferior.” But I do think “HOW THE FUCK CAN SOMEONE BE FILLED WITH THIS POISON.” Perhaps not a big…

She’s gorgeous. The people making those comments... Not so much, inside and I’m guessing out.

I’ll never understand why some white people feign surprise whenever other white folk spew some racist bullshit.

People are horrible.

That’s what I was thinking - looking at that photo, it’s unimaginable that anyone could find her unattractive!

OK, I literally don’t get this. Are her lips supposed to be unattractive? Her perfect skin? Her adorable nose and excellent profile? So confused.

I'm a 41 year-old man with a beard who spent the last few months in the cold, grunting in a bearskin rug and actively hating on Tom Hardy, but you don't see me whining about how I don't have a goddamn Academy Award.™

The shameless campaigning for Oscar votes is nothing new, and is not an indication of attention-whoring.

I kinda agree with this. Didn’t find it terrible, but I wasn’t blown away by it or anything.

Ugh his thirst for an oscar makes me despise him. OK be ambitious but this desperation for a statue is ridiculous considering what else is going on in his pathetic life: only dating young, pliable models and living a materialistic life. I think the real reason he blocked the release of Don’s plum is because he…

Because it’s ridiculous and not at all comparable. I cannot speak on being trans and what that feels like, but I do not that gender and sex are two different things, and gender is purely a social construct. You cannot “feel” Black as a white person. I am Black: I was born Black, my parents are Black. My experiences…

Here are a few pieces that explain the differences:

She seems to have a healthy detachment from reality as evidenced by basically her entire life.

I just don’t understand how she hasn’t been in bed under like 4 comforters since this happened. How is she not mortified? I wish I could watch this video, I hate work.
