Noone complains when the cast is all-minorities because doing so right now is a pretty radical act of televised diversification. It'd be a show of underrepresented people.

I support this fully and whole heartedly, and would like to see the same done with Sylvester Stallone. The traumatized Vietnam veteran boxer and police officer tries to protect his seemingly-frail-but-actually tough mother while foiling the heist of a of a U.S. treasury plane flying through the Rocky Mountains…

I think it's because "Girls" was hyped and sold as this show that was going to break down barriers, show things in a new light, et cetera, et cetera, and ended up doing something that TV's been doing forever.

This. This-this. This this thisity this this this. A kajillion times this, all of this, over and over again into oblivion. This until the mountains crumble and the land turns to loam, and the last facet of light burns out from the sun, and the universe is cold and dead.

Newt's running against him, promising tax breaks for the Whaling industry.

Oh, to be rich enough to be this goddamn crazy.

Dunham has pretty much diversity is a problem in the entire first season.

She's pretty much admitted the whole first season is like this.

Seriously. We are not aliens who speak a different language. We are people. We drink, dance, fuck, fart, get depressed and make stupid decisions just like everyone else. As far as I can see, the only real hard part is that you'd need to do a little y'know... work to try and ensure you're doing it right.

2 Broke Girls has been loudly denounced for the way it portrays minorities. Many times. Michael Patrick king was even called out on it at a critic's meeting.

Don't forget "Misfits".

As a sidenote to everyone saying "it's just one episode", Dunham has pretty much admitted in an HBO chat that the show won't feature any diversity in the first season, but that she hopes to address it in the second season.

That's for the Jon Carter remake. It's going to be a musical this time.

Very true, until I looked it up on Wikipedia, and had no idea what it was. But from what i've gleaned since, I think there's still a small fandom around it that might not be thrilled to see it turned into a madcap comedy.

Somewhere in Hollywood, a producer just read your comment and went "OF COURSE! We'll use Taylor Lautner and Lea Michele, and have a cameo by Kim Kardashian! It'll be a hit!"

I'm going with Dark Shadows. There'll probably be backlash against it from fans of the original, and while Burton and Depp have a ton of pull, I can't see this one reaching the kind of fan-squee threshold for it not to be a flop.

You don't even need a still to see he got airborne, frankly. He is CLEARLY off the ice.

Of all of these, I see the most conflict between #4 and #7.

At this point, I think i'm seeing a magnitude more "X raped my childhood" statements around than people Godwinning at this point. Probably because Godwinning has kind of become mainstream knowledge now.

I thank the heavens every day for Moff's Law. The example you cited, and the various permutations of "You're not supposed to think about it!/I just want to turn off my brain" arguments frequently are a cop-out. I tell people all the time, I loved the "Crank" movies, and those are balls-to-the-wall stupid (honestly,…
