camoseven posted:buddy it never left. didn't you see Ghost In The Shell or Cloud Atlas or uhhh I swear there was a blackface one but the only thing that comes to mind is Tropic Thunder which doesn't count GitS doesn't count either as ScarJo was not in yellow face Should they have made that change from the source material? That's a different question. I'd say casting Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan is much worse even though the original actor wasn't the correct ethnicity either

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drunkard%27s_Walk]The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives [/url1]is a really good book and has a chapter on the fact that even though studio executives get the credit and blame for hits and busts, they could do just as well flipping a coin. It's like the entertainment industry's equivalent of monkeys throwing darts at the Wall Street Journal. I'm very confident that this will make worse decisions and follow the usual trend of making the decision making process significantly more racist (anyone remember that article from 15ish years ago about bias among moviegoers about the fact that you can't reliably get white audiences to go see a movie with a black person in the lead role unless it's Will Smith?)Vox Nihili posted:Jesus Christ

Eventually the director relented and allowed a brief scene where Brad Pitt helps the protagonist regain his freedom.

also the vibe of that movie, and it is probably accurate to the POV of the real life Solomon Northrup, was that an educated freeman wasn't able to escape the racial caste system of America even though everyone could plainly see he was not a slave. But then idk it really seems like it's some kind of special injustice that he should be there, not like the other slaves born into that system. When he is discovered and goes back to NY and doesn't return to help any of the slaves he met. It's plays like a wrongful imprisonment story rather than an abolitionist story anyway what do I know

not only is this a pre-pandemic story, it's the premise of space jam 2 (don cheadle's character is "Algorithm" who is determined to make Lebron James the face of WB)

There is no algorithm. It's just c-suite fiat. If an algorithm told an executive to light his dick on fire he'd dumpster it and tell the nerds to make another algorithm. There is no AI, it's just a billion dollar magic 8-ball that says "do what the rich man wants" Can't question it though, it's maaagic- I mean: It's technooology oooOOOooo

Was that stretched in the movie or something? I thought he spent the rest of his life fighting slavery in the north until he up and disappeared with the implication being he was kidnapped again?

Either one can be referred to as "pedophilia" so it is confusing. its not confusing, the point with the disorder is that these individuals are categorically dangerous to have around children because these guys actually act on their perversion, regardless of cause for their psychosis. so to say, pedophilic disorder psychos are the REALLY dangerous pedos

i dont really see why it matters what the cause of pedophilia is, they present a threat to other people regardless. personally i think it's a symptom of how our utterly alienating society inspires in individuals a perversion of empathy and encourages predatory behaviour as way of coping. but whatever, sociopaths are a danger to all humans regardless of causalities that led to their creation, and must be exterminated

It's really dumb that the entire topic is such a third rail that it's basically impossible to ever even talk about it at all, but jumping right to human extermination is a new low.
