Black folks: Do you remember where you were when you discovered that Bobby Caldwell looked like...well, Bobby Caldwell? (I can listen to this song 10 times in a row and not get tired of it.)

I like to think Noem was informed she was fired when she received a TikTok showing Gregory Peck's last scene in THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL.

If only he was named Dwayne Wayne. It would be A Different World.

HOPPERS is a rip-off of both AVATAR and MEN IN BLACK, plus it looks more like cheap Dreamworks than Pixar. And its protagonist is so obnoxious and unlikable that I wanted to scream. At least you get to see Meryl Streep squashed by a gigantic Oscar.

Markwayne? And you White folks have the nerve to talk about Black people's names?

I'm curious to see what audiences think of Jessie Buckley's NORBIT--I mean THE BRIDE! I thought it was absolutely awful, but I also admired that its decision to go fully bonkers without care or common sense. Looks nice but it's sound and fury signifying nothing.

I didn't hate CRASH as much as some folks (though I still panned it). If DO THE RIGHT THING hadn't already taught me not to trust White critics' reviews of films about race, CRASH would have.

Walking out of the screening room, I thought THE BRIDE! was TURRIBLE! But at the same time, there's something about it that softened that original assessment of the movie.

Why not Timothee? Because his performance sucked, Hollywood Reporter. They wouldn't do this for a Black actor. Nobody is writing "Why not Michael B. Jordan" or "Why not Delroy Lindo."
What bullshit.
Everybody I want to know already knows the story.
