Well then you did more research than You. Yes, you who thought it was her father and not grandfather who provided testimony to the HUAC, and it was they who I was referring to when I said it was moronic to say Zoe’s casting reflected badly on Nanjiani. And the way You. Yes, you phrased it definitely made it sound as

I’d hardly call any of that offensive. And while I may not agree with all of her opinions, I can say the same about every single person on this planet. For the most part she seems ok and the idea that casting her reflects badly on Kumail Nanjiani is, frankly, moronic.

Wait, so Zoe should suffer the crimes of her Grandfather (not father)? Also where do you get your facts that she is “opposed to the left”?

As such developers and publishers need to find new ways to generate increased revenue to help compensate for that loss of profit.

Internalized racism is when someone—say, a black person—believes all the negative things that white people say about black people. They internalize it and turn it outward onto other black people.

Well they put themselves in that difficult position by writing a sequel that takes place directly after Aliens. 

I’m calling it now, Kanye is a flat earther. I’ve heard his brand of ill informed self belief to know it when I see it.

Exactly, who feels more empowered after last nights performance? That’s be the Trumpists. While we get to pat ourselves on the back for the “truth bombs” it makes them a little more resolute and reinforces the idea that they have the moral high ground.

This doesn’t make any sense. But the mental gymnastics is necessary otherwise you’ll end up tipping everyone.

“Variety came the closest to admitting what it seems like many reviewers are trying to dance around, which is that they think the movie is much worse than they are really saying, but out of love for those involved and the source material, they don’t have the heart to.” So Ghostbusters 2016 syndrome.

We’ll have to agree to disagree, On one hand I think 3 Billboards was wonderfully timed to warn against the rise of populism and the danger of society acting out of hatred and reactionary anger.

But as he reads the letter from the sheriff he is literally and symbolically deaf to the violent revenge filled hatred raging around him. He thinks killing this presumed rapist will redeem him but in a movie that’s main theme is violence begeting violence the movie’s ending is telling us he is probably as lost as

“The racist cop has a change of heart and suddenly I’m supposed to like this character and the fact he wants to punish a bad rapist????”

It would kinda undercut the entire point theme and message of the movie if it was a lie.

It was “dumb” because it was the last of the 3 very very important macguffins the villain needed and the heroes just let it get out of their site and villain mac villain face was just able to go yoink while nobody was looking. An edit to him grabbing it would have just attracted attention to the slackness of our heros

Oh I agree. It’s others (even people at Jezebel) who seem to be confused on that matter.

It was rumormongering. NYT did journalism. There is a difference and posting unsubstantiated rumors is not journalism. 

Most of these people were not defending CK but criticizing Jezebel’s journalistic standards. These criticisms are still valid. Well done on the NYT for doing the work properly and with integrity. 

So you believe in the Podesta/Clinton child sex ring? Man those rumours seem to be everywhere so must be true right?

Christ having a non-offensive opinion about a movie is enough to make someone a dick?* Isn’t it enough that you can have a different opinion, you feel he should apologise or something? He praised the film, but thought it wasn’t groundbreaking. Move the fuck on you entitled, overly sensitive narcissist.
