She really does look gorgeous there. It’s so easy to forget what a beautiful young starlet she was.

Fuck this weak ass shit. Birth of a Nation is an awful film but guess what, D.W. Griffith’s “Intolerance” isn’t! Ya ever seen that?? I damn sure didn’t see you mention it, which would have added nuance to this Honey Ham of an article.

Are you sure? I‘ve wondered if Stewart‘s positioning of Trump as more a joke than a threat didn‘t help to pave his path to the White House.

I don’t think any of this is good or beneficial long-term, but if we’re gonna do this then let’s do this.

For 20+ years, Dr. Martha Lauzen and her graduate students at UCSD have been cataloging figures on both employment and cinematic representation (in terms of gender, ethnicity, & race) in an annual Celluloid Ceiling Report.

I liked the Stewart-era Daily Show a lot, but Last Week Tonight is a better show. It’s actually educational rather than just being a Weekend Update snarkfest. Though Stewart’s interviews with newsmakers and politicians, after 9/11 caused him to get more serious and push to have guests who weren’t promoting a movie,…

Stewart explained that The Daily Show had a blind hiring policy, which at the time producers thought meant no one could accuse them of being racist or sexist.

Exactly. And it’s this kind of “hot take” that makes me go okay, yeah, fuck this whole “cancel culture” thing going on. I mean, unless I’m missing something, Geisel went through a period of overt hostility toward Japanese people after Japan’s attack on the U.S. and our subsequent entry into WWII, but he not only…

Erin Condren aside, why so dismissive about “the planner community”? For people like me, a single mother with a full time job and several side projects to try to make ends meet, having a written down schedule is completely crucial. And I also use my Passion Planner (check them out as a very good alternative to…

Yeah the show honestly did an incredible job of showing that even though sober Terry wanted to go out and get laid, that doesn’t mean she wasn’t manipulated by two major creeps. It shows a very sex-positive individual in this situation but places no judgment on her for the situation she winds up in. I didn’t get the…

What’s doubly infuriating is that Gibson’s well-known history of racism, drunk driving and homophobia was a dramatically smaller blip on his career than Winona’s shoplifting from Sak’s was on hers (Oh, boo-hoo. Poor luxury retail store!).

“You look like a fucking pig in heat...if you get raped by a pack of n*****s it will be your fault!”

Bears repeating. 

Fucking Mel Gibson. When they nominated Hacksaw Ridge for an Oscar a few years ago it made my skin crawl to see him sitting out in the audience, laughing, having a good time. Like why are we rewarding this virulent racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic misogynist abuser?

Nah, I have clots like that all the time. Some of us are just lucky!

Also, Lupe is a badass. I love that she’s attractive but not Movie Actress-Beautiful, has a personality, and is tougher than any of the male characters.

Looking forward to their sexy violent take on Encyclopedia Brown. 

Didn’t really care for this. I love Matthew Rhys but I’m a bit fed up of Prestige gritty shows that are whiter than white and maler than male. Bring on Tatiana Maslany! However, I do agree Gayle Rankin (the breakout in S3 of GLOW as Sheila found her human under the wolf) was excellent. I wasn’t a Boardwalk Empire fan…

He really capture what a pathetic dickwad he was.

Yeah, fuck him forever.  I don’t care about his private pain.  Fuck his pain.
