Sometimes I just want to pinch your cheeks, you adorable little social justice munchkin.

Aaand BOOM! How many seconds went by before someone pushed the old ‘blackface is bad’ SJW button?

I assume like, Room and 12 Years A Slave aren’t subject to the same rubric?

The most fucked up part of this whole faux-representation bullshtick is that when you actually step back and look at it, you’re basically saying you are incapable of enjoying movies as fiction, you need the added bonus of real life trauma as experienced by the actors otherwise you won’t like the film.

i like bill burr’s bit about this

Sia continued to respond to a number of people and tweet indignantly, mainly to lament that her good intentions and “years of research” are being overlooked in favor of calling out blatant ableism. Seriously, won’t somebody think of the poor, defensive director?

Outrage is a viral phenomenon. How its meted out is not based on reason or any coherent system, its a trend that runs away with itself just like the ice bucket challenge or Kony 2012. It’s been public knowledge for 10 years that Mark Whalberg was involved in actual, literal violent hate crimes when he was younger, and…

Fair.  I’m more saying that Bryan Cranston is better than most actors, regardless of able-bodiness (if that’s a word) and that I’m tired of the self-righteous tone that some of the writers here take, as if we’re all assholes for not immediately agreeing with them even before we read what they say.

Imagine My Left Foot coming out today. 

Okay, so this is massively stupid. An actor’s job is, quite by definition, to portray someone/thing they’re not. Should Dustin Hoffman not have been cast in Rain Man? Was Daniel Day-Lewis the wrong choice for My Left Foot because he doesn’t actually have CP? I don’t think these films are any less effective or…

Holy fucking Christ, people. Do you know who didn’t accurately portray Alexander Hamilton? Lin-Manuel Miranda. Do you you know who didn’t accurately portray Ed Warren? Josh Lucas. I could do this for hours.  It’s called acting. This kind of shit is so fucking played out. Bryan Cranston was cast to play a…

Well, I’m sure there’ll be some uproar gainst Riz once they hear of it.

“Ziegler... is not autistic”. That sound like the STUPIDEST complaint in the world, currently (I’m sure there have been many others equally as stupid before). I mean, that is REALLY REALLY stupid. Do people not know what ‘acting’ is? Sean Connery was neither Russian nor a submarine commander yet he played both - at…

This is tough. I personally work with a program that helps teach media production skills (and life skills) to young adults on the autism spectrum with the hopes they’ll eventually get employed in the workforce. I love doing this kind of work with all of my heart. Coming from that end, it’s a bummer and feels like a…

I don’t know, I think they could have gotten somebody Better Than Ezra.

They’re oddly committed to a lot of things.

“It’s unclear if the attack was really completely unprovoked...”

I’ll give you this, Sam: if you’re intentionally trying to shirk jury duty, this bizarre take is something I’d suggest that you print out and bring with you for the next time you’re summoned. Even a 24 year old ADA a couple months out of law school would never let you get empaneled after this.

It’s not that complicated. He assaulted a stranger. Thankfully Moranis wasn’t critically injured, or killed. That he was arrested is a good thing.

It’s only “complicated” if you’re a child who can’t comprehend how multiple things could possibly be true at once.  For instance, as an adult, I can recognize that homelessness is a tragedy that we as a society should do more to address, and at the same time, I can also say as an absolute that randomly punching…
