Sure, you *could* say that critics look at other critics and judge based on criteria that “Joe/Jane Average” doesn’t care about. OR you could accept that critics generally treat material with an informed, intelligent view and the average viewer is simply too ignorant (often fucking WILLFULLY in the Internet age) to be…

I mean I’d watch TWD if it turned out this was all a hard segue into Battle Pope: Hell on Motherfucking Earth: The Fistining: The Tv Series.

Maybe they can switch to Bec. And when the Beckies and Brocks actually respect their wishes and don’t call them a name they’ve asked not to be called, ask them why they don’t respect the wishes of black people who’ve asked not to be called That Word. And wait politely for their answer.

I wonder if women named Becky who don’t have the cops on speed dial have been thinking about changing their name this year?

I just wish the original legendary performance had also been filmed. I’d love to watch that, but I’ll settle for this.

“ morgan kendall “ ... mayonnaise mc white bread ( full disclosure i am white and find her actions deplorable and her name hysterical ) .

Nah, she’s a box wino if ever there was one.

The even better news is her equally racist potential clients in said backwater will take a hard pass on her once they learn she got her degree from an HBCU.

I am a white man who got his degree at an HBCU. This idiot’s actions do not in any way, shape of form represent in any way my experience.

True. My first reaction was to cringe at the thought of this woman managing to pass the bar and actually get a law license.

Maybe she thought she could cruise through law school with mostly black people as competition and found out otherwise.  

Yep.

All you have to do, at this point, is think to yourself “would THIS or THAT president do this shit?”. The answer will always be “no”, regardless of what political party they belonged to. Even Reagan would think this is ridiculous.

“some reason”?

That really was an unexpected film for the time, especially given the casting.

I’m pretty sure this was the reason:

I rewatched the 1960 version recently and, charmingly dated special effects aside, it holds up remarkably well. It's relatively faithful to the original novel in a lot of ways and has some memorable images, like the world's last books crumbling to dust in his hands.

Remember how the 2002 film was actually considered a really big deal leading up to its release, because HG Wells’ actual descendant was directing it and the machine itself was the most expensive movie prop ever made? That it’s become so forgotten while the 1960 film still has a following tells you all you need to know.

You should follow it up with a viewing of a Sound of Thunder.

Like...how fucking dumb do you have to be when James O’Keefe is better at his inept fuckery than you?
