We should have something like a Bechdel-test for PoC.

If the idea of the show was to highlight the revolutionary ad men that brought us the convoluted postmodern culture we inhabit now, why not find a way to incorporate Tom Burrell, one of black America’s most famous and legendary ad men. The whole of America (and the Americas by extension) rests on the cultural…
For those wondering, the Ridley Scott excuse is basically that you can’t get funding for a movie if you cast PoC:
I always told my friends I couldn't get into "Mad Men" for that reason. For some reason I became the philistine. What's groundbreaking about a bunch more white guys drinking at their desks? Wasn't that the premise of every cop show?
Yeah, I’m kind of okay with a movie about a bunch of assholes ripping off the country basically being about the white dudes that did it. But that’s a pretty big leave out of the woman who nailed what was going on.
that’s what i’m thinking too, its a movie shitting all over a group of people that all happen to be white men, technically this is the most progressive film released in all of 2015. I can’t think of another well liked film that year that basically goes “You white men are fucking horrible and deserve to all by in…
You know, I am kind of okay with white men taking the rap for this. Honestly if white dudes corner the villain/colossal douchebag roles in Hollywood, I might forgive them that, as long as they don’t win too many awards for it.

Whether she’s saying this about diversity or women, it smacks of privilege. Especially from a person who was born into that industry with family connections and flourishes still because of them. It’s certainly not her acting and I’m a fan of hers. Her best acting was in Panic Room, when she confused the audience who…
I hate going in to public multi-stall bathrooms, period. God knows what I watched when I was a kid but I’m always convinced I’m going to be attacked and raped on a dirty floor and no one will come in. Can’t we just have all gender neutral singles all the time?

Still no acknowlegement of women of color, huh?
The last time Jennifer Lawrence played anything other than Jennifer Lawrence was Winter’s Bone. Completely disagree that she’s good at pretending to be somebody else. Meryl Streep is ridiculously talented and her various roles/transformations are proof of that. They’re not even on the same planet.
I adore Jennifer Lawrence, but she’s quickly becoming another Meryl Streep.
Imagine how these fuckers would react if the Oscars didn’t honor any white people one year.
Right? They have signs there, right? Every Kmart i’v ever been in has had giant signs hanging from the ceiling indicating their various departments.
Perhaps some actors should really just stick to the lines given to them by writers rather than come up with their own... I mean... wow.
