Stravag posted:Always liked Page's acting in umbrella academy. Really hoping the show doesn't do "well the actor is trans the character is too now" thing where Hollywood likes matching sexual identity or preference to the actual actor for whatever reason. I thought the thing in Hollywood was to make sure the actor matched the role. See for example all the people that got mad that Benedict Cumberbatch played Khan even though Ricardo Montalban wasn't a Sikh either. There were also people angry that the actor playing Sulu is of Korean descent and not Japanese descent.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Star Trek can be weirdly inconsistent. On DS9 Bashir is culturally Muslim and when his parents showed up the show went out of their way to find a Muslim actress which were not common at the time, but found a good fit from a community theater. I always attributed that to the eventual victory of the British over the French.

Richard Pryor's birthday was December 1st. Why do I bring this up? Because he served in the Army from 1958 to 1960. "Pryor served in the U.S. Army from 1958 to 1960, but spent virtually the entire stint in an army prison. According to a 1999 profile about Pryor in The New Yorker, Pryor was incarcerated for an incident that occurred while he was stationed in West Germany. Angered that a white soldier was overly amused at the racially charged scenes of Douglas Sirk's film Imitation of Life, Pryor and several other black soldiers beat and stabbed him, although not fatally. "

Flying_Crab posted:For cyclists it is generally much more dangerous to ride in the parking lane or close to it, and the law in many (most?) places allows cyclists to use the full lane just like any motor vehicle. Weaving in and out or in the door zone is frequently deadly to cyclists, they're doing it for a reason. But on the other hand they should make an effort to let you pass when it's safe to do so. You should just accept that riding a bicycle isn't compatible with American roads instead of trying to force the issue. You sound like a open carry advocate.

Raised Catholic, quit when the priest in Enterprise, AL ran off with a parishioner in 2004. That was the final straw for me. Occasionally I listen to Catholic Radio on the way to work and the only things they are worried about are abortion, sex outside of marriage, gay people, and the Church's Authority. Nothing about any of the outreach to people who need help. It's not a religion, it's a club. I will say that I prefer Catholicism to evangelical protestantism in that at least Catholics acknowledge how lovely people are, can feel guilt, and don't act smug and "saved" because they said the right magic words about Jesus. But I'm not giving more money to an organization that has to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars because they actively covered up sexual abuse perpetrated by the clergy.

Midjack posted:The thing I really want to hear from Biden is what his plan is for bringing the Mexican Pizza back to Taco Bell. Biden doesn't like Mexican. https://www.npr.org/2020/12/13/944791054/on-immigration-activists-demands-may-exceed-biden-realities Theresa Cardinal Brown, the director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a former senior adviser on immigration in both the Bush and Obama administrations, says the Biden administration must be careful not to unwind Trump's restrictions too quickly before getting its own processing system in place — or it will risk a new surge at the border. "They can't say, 'Oh, wait, migrants — don't arrive just yet. We're not going to be nasty to you. But don't come for another two months so we can get this in place.' Like, that's not how it works," she said. The administration can't just stop enforcing immigration laws, Brown said. PeterCat fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Dec 13, 2020 |

It was amazing watching Spike Lee melt down that white people were ruining the ethnic flavor of his old neighborhood. He's basically every rich old person ever bitching about the wrong people moving into his neighborhood. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/02/spike-lee-amazing-rant-against-gentrification.html

I mean, he talks about how his dad bought a house in Brooklyn in 1968. If it's gentrifying as much as he says, his dad should be able to make out like a bandit if he sells his place.

mlmp08 posted:Thank god we have you policing Spike Lee's ability to talk about gentrification because he didn't stay his rear end where he belonged, according to you. And so he has no right to bring up racism and gentrification? Get the gently caress outta here. Yes, SimonCat became PeterCat. Nothing gets by you. "Where he belonged?" He can live wherever he wants, it's just really funny to me that he's complaining about people moving and ruining the neighborhood he grew up in when he didn't stay. He sounds exactly like the old guys I know who complain about Hispanics moving in or black people from Chicago moving in. He's a comfortable rich man who doesn't like people who aren't like him. Also, Da Five Bloods was half a good movie. The first half, dealing with black Vietnam vets coming back to Vietnam and dealing with their memories was really interesting. His half-assed remake of the Treasure of the Sierra Madre that made up the second half sucked. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
