Nothing screams “a change in the perception, value and appreciation of music as a work of art” like an album slapped together from scraps recorded by artists who weren’t even aware they were working on an album together.

Yeah, I read an entire book about this years ago.

This is not news. Members of the clan including Raekwon and U-God have been saying this publicly for years. Basically they were paid individually to record some verses without being informed that they would ultimately be used for a collective Wu-Tang album. 

There have always been a fairly broad spectrum of depictions of Irish people in film, from the “Republican terrorist” stereotype to the “fearsome matriarch” stereotype to the “undiagnosed-bipolar drunken artist/writer/actor” stereotype. For decades though, Middle-Easterners and north-coast-Africans (Hollywood has…

There’s plenty of reading material I came across that called out works that tend to depict Muslims exclusively as terrorists. American Sniper, Homeland, Argo, The Hurt Locker, and Zero Dark Thirty tended to end up on a lot of lists. According to a USC Annenberg study, of 200 popular films released in the US, UK,…

It’s also right after the first Gulf War, and with the Beirut bombing in recent memory... And Libya and Iran were seen as threats through the previous decade in real life news as well as film (remember who Doc Brown was selling plutonium to)

Well, one of the more frustrating things is that Trump was just as awful in that debate.

Just how pissed is our former First Concubine that it was a miss? 

It doesn’t matter if “in his mind he’s not abusing her” if in actuality he’s abusing her. Expressing interest in spywork is not consenting to mean-spirited humiliation at the hands of what should be a trusted loved one. 

I said this just the other day, but the reason the press keeps talking about Joe Biden’s debate performance is because he hasn’t done anything else scandalous since then.  Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s strategy is to have a new scandal every 27 hours so that the press can’t focus on any one thing for too long.

You said it yourself, it doesn’t justify his approach. The misogyny is that it tries to justify spousal abuse because it make him a better man. Just because she’s willing to go on a mission doesn’t mean she consents to her husband lying, manipulating, and attempting to sexually demean her. 

No. And thing is, you know that. 

But that just frames it as his cruelty and manipulation of her is justified because it made him a better man. It’s not OK to victimize your spouse for your own personal growth.

That’s really the crux of it. The scene is just mean-spirited. It’s meant to be Harry giving Helen some excitement, but it comes across as deeply cruel and manipulative.

But, according to the author of this piece, if you’re man, it’s not your place to find it misogynistic, since a handful of women didn’t.

Personally I don’t think they should cater to people who don’t follow their cinematic universe. They want to get as much money as possible though.

“Is the scene humiliating for Helen? For Jamie Lee Curtis?”

I saw True Lies late—whenever it originally came out on home video—and was pretty startled by how the movie treats Curtis’s character, compared to the fun reputation the movie had. The strip scene may scan as empowering and funny to some, but she’s manipulated into it by her own husband, and not just to “give her…

Ive only watched one entry in each series, but I wouldnt be surprised if the Mission Impossoble and The Fast and the Furious franchises also require you to have seen the previous movies to get the most out of them.

LOL, this guy is so full of himself it’s ridiculous. Literally no one not named James Cameron has ever compared this turd to Day The Earth Stood Still.
