Please, don't insult gorgeous and talented Danish actors by calling her Mads. He deserves better. We all do.

I think it is more likely some sort of psychological crisis she's trying to work out on a website, of all places. Light skin envy leading to defensiveness, combined with incredible insecurity about her intellect, results in transparent projection laced with obtuseness. I had to send her to the cornfield because she…
Yes, dear, I am trying to school you. You need to learn to focus and address the points actually being discussed instead of your own neuroses. You also need to learn reading comprehension. My comments on colorism and light skin privilege preceded your attempt to impress "random Internet nitwit(s)" with your degree,…
I would watch the hell out of a Spinderella biopic. She was always my favorite (I even forgive her for being in the Geico ad too). HOLLYWOOD, GET UP ON THIS!
I'm not making fun of your degree, but of you trumpeting it as if it makes you some sort of authority on an issue you clearly don't even understand. This isn't about Jourdan Dunn's choices in her personal life or authentic blackness. This is about BRITISH VOGUE and their decision on how to present the first black…
If that's true (I hope you're joking about the degree, because, really?) then you should know the answer to your own disingenuous question. No one is accusing Dunn of "acting white". We are questioning British Vogue's styling decisions. We aren't stupid enough to think black women only look one way, and we also…
Perhaps you should look up "colorism" and "light skin privilege" and this will make more sense. Regardless of the blonde weave, Dunn didn't lighten her own skin. This is like British Vogue saying, "Fine, we'll put a black woman on the cover but only if she's as white as possible." If you don't know that comparing…
Feel free!
It almost makes me ill to think how much I used to admire and respect Whoopi Goldberg. When her Broadway show was filmed for HBO back in 1985, I sat rapt, watching her seamlessly flow from character to character and powerfully confront the pain of internalized racism and self-hatred. She seemed so wise and smart and…
I suggested you try that about three comments back, but you, apparently challenged by my temerity to be "snide" with you on the Internet, threatened to soldier on. And you have, bravely and with gusto. Good for you!
Do you know how ridiculous you sound? MM' s team ran the best campaign? This is news? You've heard of the Weinsteins, right? The English Patient? Chocolat? Shakespeare in Love? Let's go further back. Joan Crawford's "illness" and Oscar acceptance from a hospital bed for Mildred Pearce? Elizabeth Taylor's…
It's cute that you think you're schooling me on something, or that you're the first person to figure out that backroom deals and PR play a tremendous role in awards season. Good for you for making a discovery that has been a part of the Oscars since they began. More careful reading would make it clear I never said…
Unless you want to show me checks where Toth paid for good reviews for tiny films made years before Dallas Buyers Club, I'm going to go with critics actually appreciating the work. But whatever makes you happy. Unless you have a plan to take MM' s Oscar back, I think you should probably just move on now.
He didn't "suddenly become a good actor". He had been a good actor in mediocre and unchallenging fare. A savvy agent is fine, but if you don't have the goods it matters not. Mud, Bernie and Killer Joe were little seen indies, which got good reviews but hardly burned up the box office. But several strong…
Except McConaughey was actually being rewarded for several performances besides Dallas Buyers Club. From his "comeback" in The Lincoln Lawyer to the acclaim he earned for Bernie, Mud, Killer Joe, Magic Mike (seriously, there were many articles touting him for a Supporting Actor nod for that film) and even Wolf of…
I bow down to you. I also would nominate anything in the "Perfect" series, but especially "The Perfect Assistant". If the superb Heather Locklear-Linda Purl thriller "Body Language" had been made for Lifetime instead of USA, it would have been up there too.
I would be happy to hand over management of health benefits, time and leave accruals, recruitment, onboarding, retirement planning, labor relations, employee assistance counseling, contract negotiations, and much more for thousands of full-time faculty and staff, adjunct faculty and civil service employees, since…
My thoughts exactly. He was hardly lip synching. Quite impressed with Dan's skills, by the way, but anyone who saw him do "The Elements" should have been prepared, since that's basically a proto-rap.
I'm not there as often as I should be, but even I was wondering where you were. Not the same without kshortie16!
I'm sure you meant Tolerate, Kill, Kill, right?
