"Engaging with anything made by terrible people" does not necessitate handing those same people prestigious awards and honors on a stage in front of millions of viewers.

Have you actually read the allegations? It's not like he just pinched her ass or called her a tight little piece in her earshot (though that would still be bad and not at all as universal as you seem to think). This was sustained and fucked up - unusually invasive even for sexual harrassers. It went beyond mere…

Totally agreed. At the end of the day, the oscar is being handed to Affleck himself, you know?

Doesn't explain nate parker though. Granted, raping a woman then bullying her to suicide is worse than what Affleck is accused of, but that's really not saying much

I was white and gold too because i underestimated just how much light and glare was in that picture. I crossed over once it was definitively confirmed blue and black

My black ass and my black cousins and friends used tiger all the time. To me, the version with n***er sounds like an alternate version.

I always say that movie would absolutely be a hit nowadays. Even without the brutal violence. I say as a long time MK fan that although fatalities are essential, the camp, the aet, and ridiculously complex lore are what really set it apart. Put it in the hands of a capable director who isn't afraid of cheese, get some…

…that's essentially what they were telling YOU.

I agree with you but in my experience it's better not to get into these kinds of arguments on the internet in particular - you know, where you're explaining someone else's position even when you don't agree with it. Because it's the internet, everyone (myself included) is less able to discern "I'm clarifying their…

"Islam sucks butthole" isn't an argument. It's a conclusion. You've essentially been arguing that Liberals should hate Islam (and by extension, those who practice islam - theoretically perpetuation its butthole sucking). But your reasoning is just "liberals should hate islam because islam is bad" as if you've now…

Get ublock origin. Just set it and forget it. I never see youtube ads.

Just get an adblocker

The last thing an almost universally lauded film needs is more uncritical emphasis on its strengths. We already know Mad Max was fast-paced, exciting, a perfect marriage of practical and digital effects, a deft revival of a defunct franchise, etc etc. But that's far from the only analysis that can be done on the film…

You're missing the point of the article. The point of critique is to never be satisfied and to critique what's critique-able (which is everything). Just because the wives are attractive doesn't mean Mad Max isn't still a very good example of female representation in action cinema. The perception that feminist critics…

Too bad Carolina Ale House isn't everywhere. Absolutely incomparable wings, very good and upbeat customer service without objectification.

It is, but the core ideas are correct. The core tenets of Libertarianism (like supply-side economics) are empirically unsound. Their image isn't helped by essentially caring more about rich people being able to keep their money than poor people who won't be able to get decent jobs or provide opportunity for their…

NO

It would've been panned as a shitty oscar bait disaster because the poor narrative choices would be compressed into two hours. Instead, more total time is devoted to the better characters, dynamics, and developments. And like 80% of it is written well. The show is flawed but "shitty" and "terrible" are massive…

"Those who eat popcorn," yeah it rubs me the wrong way.

He like, ALMOST makes a decent point about how a lot of movie moments aren't representations of how actual people interact with each other, just rehashed beats. But he does a terrible job of actually putting that into words and just goes "I'm afraid of what this might mean."
