Okay, here are my thoughts about Dear White People: I'm going to be honest, I had a bit of a problem with the series. This is going to be a long post, but I need to get it off my chest. I enjoyed the movie a lot, as I felt that it gave some good and accurate insight of being black, as well as a person of color, on a college campus. It did an accurate depiction and a critique of of the "black experience". You had Troy who was seemingly a well to do black male who, in his mind, more or less was able to excel socially in both black and white society, while also having the pressure of being a legacy child. Coco was a student who came from the South Side of Chicago (i.e. the "ghetto" side) and thus often gets stereotyped by others (including other blacks) for being ratchet (especially with an official name of "Chantalle"). Despite having nothing ghetto about her, she is takes on a sort of Cardi-B persona in order to gain popularity and hoping to bust into the reality TV scene. There was Lionel who not only struggled with his sexuality, but also his race as despite being black he wasn't sure if he could fit in with "those" black people. Then there was of course Sam. The girl who hosts the titled "Dear White People". She sees herself as an activist and many issues regarding race as black and white in a literal sense. Each of these character arcs came to a satisfying close. Troy learns that not only he has a legacy to fulfill, but he also has a very hard fight ahead. As despite there being no "lynch mobs", there are still several factors still holding him back due to his race, which his father goes over such as the huge gap in pay between him and his white "superior". Coco came face to face with what she became as an attempt to try to be the socialite she dreamed of, she became a literal embodiment of a ministerial doll. Lionel comes into terms not only that he is gay, but that he himself IS black and thus fits in just fine with other black people even THOSE types. Sam comes into terms that her hyper racial politics weren't as black and white as she thought they were as she falls in love with a white guy and embraces that she is biracial. That said, she also realizes that she was more than correct that racism is still alive and well, as seen by those who attended the blackface party from the invites she sent out. I will admit that I am not black. I'm actually Puerto Rican and Palestinian, as well as having pretty light skin, though also have very thick and coarse hair and other "ethnic" features. But again, not black so the experiences in the film aren't 1:1 to my own. However, I do have many friends who are black and see the conversations they have with one another. I see the caricatures and sensitive topics from the film played out and it covered them in an interesting and respectable manner. The show Dear White People is a different story. I feel that the show outright ruins so many characters as well as many of the messages from the film. Now I realize that the show has a strange relationship with the movie as it retcons a fair bit of things, but makes it so that the movie still is and isn't prelude to the show's events. Kind of like an Evil Dead 2 in a way. The movie "counts" but also doesn't at the same time. I'm going to be very blunt about the biggest problem with the show. In the movie Sam White came from the right place and many strong points, but her philosophy was wrong. In the Netflix series Sam White's philosophy isn't only portrayed as being correct, but if anything it may even be too soft. While the movie culminated in the eventual black face party, the show has several events similar or more extreme like it, a few which I feel are a bit unnecessary, which I will get back to later. But in short the show presents virtually all white people in an extremely negative light. Now, before I continue, I don't give a poo poo how badly white people are portrayed. There are near countless examples of minorities being portrayed in a bad light in television and movies, so I don't see much wrong with this. The issue isn't that this ruins the white characters, but more so most of the black ones. The most notable are Troy, Coco, and really anyone not part of BSU. Like the film, Troy struggles between balancing his life of being a legacy child as well as his social life between his black and white friends. However, due to his white friends being so terrible, it's odd that Troy thinks of them as his friends at all. His actions make little sense, why would he care about the pastiche crew? And he really does view him as his friends as his father has to remind his son that "they are laughing at him, not with him." Coco on the other hand is even worse. Now admittedly in the film she is seen trying to fit in with white students and coming across several stereotypes. However, in the show she comes off as either sycophant or a straight sociopath. Not only does she not seem to have any connection with any of her plenty of white friends (outside of possibly one), but she constantly undermines fight for racial progress, no matter how severe it is, for just going against the slightest inconveniences in her goal of becoming the highest of achievers. She practically comes off as a villain. I feel the best example I can think of is when all of the black students are in a group discussion about Reggie almost getting shot by the campus police. Coco says something akin to "We have to come together and stop arguing about who is more woke between everyone. People are dying." Felt like it was intended to make way more of an impact than it should have. CORE and virtually everyone who wasn't BSU was wrong time and time again about the various racial situations on campus. What "argument" was there? There was none to be had, BSU was right every single time. There is no need for any other perspective. Finally, there is Sam White, who just drive me up the wall. First, off she just comes across as a terrible person. She doesn't stick up for her boyfriend at all, both when Reggie was being incredibly hostile toward him, as well as when her boyfriend just simply called the police during the party. She also more or less cheated on him with Reggie. The only thing her boyfriend did wrong was break up with her while her protest was hijacked. Yet despite this she never really gets called out on it, even during the intense episode 8, she holds up all of her points. And being honest, I feel that episode 8 summarizes so much of what is wrong with her character. She has intense hostility toward others and has broad generalizations and criticisms to all whites, even those with good intentions. Yet her own are never questioned and fully criticized. Her boyfriend was completely right in calling her a hypocrite, as she accused him of not really helping the movement as he was not sacrifice enough or put into danger, yet she hides behind the comfort of a recording studio essentially reading pro-black Youtube rants, but she really is putting it all on the line because of Twitter trolls  . Now I admit the story of the troll involving her dad's condition was sad, but if you change literally any other aspect of that story then her boyfriend's point still completely stands. The show once again used the most extreme example of something, trolling, in order to bring up the point that she was justified, which in this case is that her radio show actually being a legit "struggle". There was also the fact that she brought up epigenetics as concrete example of a daily struggle she has to face, and even insists her boyfriend to trust her that it's real. Despite the fact that the epigenetics has been debunked.Now to be fair, she does get challenged substantially in the last ten minutes of the last episode. As a black Ann Coulter figure essentially shows Sam that in many ways, Sam isn't any different than her. And the episode in question does do well to show this as the white students who are listening to the show on campus basically see her as "the other side" of the pro-White "Dear Right People" radio show. But still, I feel that the show doesn't give her as much of shake down as she deserves. She clearly has issues of being bi-racial, and clearly doesn't agree with everything she claims to believe, but only part of this is really challenged. And I could list other topics in the series that I felt were handled pretty poorly, such as the topics of segregation/safe spaces, "edgy" comedy, and what not. But despite taking a more nuanced approach, the show paints these topics in narrow broad strokes. And because of that I felt I couldn't connect with it as much as the film.

Grand Tour has been renewed for Season 4, but they are ditching the tent segments with that and just doing adventures. There's also a reference to "many years to come" so it sound like seasons beyond 4 will continue to happen as long as they want to do them. https://twitter.com/thegrandtour/status/1073326356321222656

On the subject of subtitles that I'm too late for. I don't know where Subscene or Addicted get the source for their subtitles, but I swear they are getting scripts off the sets of shows/movies. There are so many subbed lines from background extras that are completely inaudible that make the show so much richer. Say for example, there is cops hunting down the main character and they are outside of a building. All you can hear is their footsteps but the subtitles are like "Cop: Suspect is believed to be inside the building. Executing breach procedures now" or some poo poo. Where are they getting these lines from? Another example is lines like *Song that is thematically important to the scene playing in background* when you barely realised there was music playing before that. This is why subtitles are awesome. Rocksicles posted:This battlebishop geezer on Vikings is butchering his role this season. His acting his loving awful The whole character is problematic. So many story issues need to be overlooked in order to justify his actions. Seriously, who does what he did in episode one and gets away with it? I don't buy the whole relationship either. Also... WHY IS HE ALWAYS WHISPERING??

So after that Tom Cruise psa about motion smoothing I've been kind of paying more attention to my TV's and I already had it turned off on all of them. Thanks Tom! But I'm curious about the term "soap opera affect". What is it that they do differently than everybody else and why do they do it if it's such a detriment to the picture? Sounds like the only benefit is in sporting events, so why isn't the the NFL affect or something?
