Yes, I realized that when they showed his name at the end of the trailer.

Yes, that’s the joke. I realized it when they flashed his name on screen at the end of the trailer.

Yes, that’s what I realized when they flashed the cast names at the end of the trailer.

Because I am very, very lame, I spent the entire trailer up to the end when they flashed the cast names, just going “That guy, whoever he is, looks freakishly like a young Ice Cube. So weird.”

People like to say that, but some of the stuff people swear was “Wright Stuff” got added to the script after he left the film. Wright is pretty great, but he didn’t invent comedic cross cutting and whatnot.

True. See also Mike “Fuck you Mike Milbury, you racist asshole.” Milbury.

They’re making a joke about criticism of Puig for vaguely defined character or behavioral faults and the conservatism of baseball’s conventional wisdom.

Karl Urban.

Moreover, why do they always abandon the Decepticon power struggles? Megatron/Starscream/Soundwave/etc, all backstabbing and jockeying for leadership has always been good stuff, even in the crappy old cartoons.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. People complained bitterly in season 1 that Kala and Riley didn’t have interesting enough skills.

Some combinations of writers and actors are compelling enough to pull off unlikable leads, but when they aren’t, you’re just left with an unpleasant person you don’t want to spend your limited time with. It takes something extra to willingly hang out with assholes.

Your anecdote just further reinforces that the “vulva” battle is lost. People don’t use the word and it’s highly unlikely any cultural force will come along to raise its profile.

This isn’t a scientific or medical discussion. The “vulva not vagina” people are really going to have to accept that linguistic battle has been lost, at least so far as casual conversation goes.

The ESPN Body issue just crushes the SI swimsuit issue. The photographic concepts are more interesting, there’s way, way more diversity in race, genders and body types, and the tie-in to actual sports is vastly stronger.

Except it’s,

Dear Fox, re: Fantastic 4:

“I’m not sorry, that I will tell my goddaughter that she was not a good person, due to her personal choices. The reality is not always pretty but maybe finding a better individual who holds themselves to a higher standard of not doing drugs.”
