Funny. When I strip the article of its idiotic political bent and just read what the movie is about, and watch the trailer, I kinda want to see this film now. Who knows, it really might be racist, or it could just be in good fun (just like the trailer shows one of the characters dressing like a woman for what I…

>>Phyllis Dietrichson, the femme fatale to end all femme fatales, seduces a detective and gets him to help her bump off her husband<<

This is an interesting one because usually, Shyamalan movies are original ideas. So even if you were curious about the beach that turns people old or the return of Mr. Glass, you couldn’t just look up the plot. That’s not the case with The Watchers.

I think that’s Justin Bartha, who was also in the National Treasure movies.

>>However, Kudrow does ignore that in the 236 episodes of Friends, the creators didn’t think to hire a few more people who could write stories about the experiences of being a person of color.<<

“Of course, first they’ve got to finish off Saul, which returns for the final half of its final season on April 18.”

The Daily Show, not Trump Derangement Syndrome (presumably). 

Possibly Onyx Equinox (though the term “LATIN American” is probably a misnomer for it, since it is - or seems - pre-Columbian, metaphor aside):

You can’t complain about being misinterpreted (in your view) if you don’t express yourself properly. “Inarguable” is not general and allowing for exceptions. “The best” is not general and allowing for exceptions. Neither are “actual reality”, “any actor of a particular ethnicity” or (though I suppose that one actually…

Your original statement was (and following ones were) absolutist, and that is what you’ve been criticized for here (be precise in your language if you want to argue a precise point). It’s nice to see that you seem to have come around to the position that not everything is (so to speak) black and white.

What determines one’s “ethnicity” in this context? You’ve already altered and qualified your original claim with “a Jamaican actor - who grew up in Jamaica”. The only more or less objective way to define “Jamaican” is as a nationality (you have the passport or you don’t, as recognized by the country of Jamaica),…

That’s very much not “inarguable” if you mean that any black actor will give a better performance than the best white or Asian actor. If, say, Carlton Banks was a voice actor (or, you know, a black actor from Britain or Nigeria), he could very well be a worse choice to play an animated character from a majority-black,…

I’ve often wondered: Can anyone go to a shareholders’ meeting? Because I used to have Disney shares myself (not many, just a couple; which is also why I ditched them, it cost more to maintain them at the bank than they brought in). 

I had not heard of this movie before and clicked wondering how the reviewer would square “grace, humor, and an ode to the female body in a familiar indie premise” with the horror tone of the Saint Maud trailers (which is what I thought it referred to). Apparently this is the Armageddon to Saint Maud’s Deep Impact (at…

Be sure to get your scoffing at physical media in now. You won’t laugh in a few years when certain important movies and shows will not be available at all anymore because their streaming home will have gone bust and/or the rights are tied up in limbo. I’d wager that kind of thing will happen more often and earlier…

That from the same (mother) company that (rightfully) diagnosed Star Wars fatigue as a bit of a problem?

“Stupid shit” is part of the Indy brand, it’s just less noticeable in the other three movies because of a) nostalgia and b) better execution. The latter point is on Spielberg, not Lucas. 

“all the principal players—Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg—”

Black and white movies were once the only option.

Not being familiar with that kind of music all that much, I initially thought upon seeing the header image that it was a movie about Robert Durst (he of bathroom confession fame), with Travolta doing a Fred Armisen impression.
