Just looks utterly forgettable.

Fantastic review of the new Lion King

[Benzin]

That's gotta be one of the most damning film comparisons (As good as Psycho remake) I've ever read

[Tafdolphin]

It's such a good "review". It eviscerates the thing without actually eviscerating it at all. It's somehow the most brutal, and most reasonable, critique of a film I've ever read.

[Tafdolphin]

Is this cancel worthy? I think this is strawberry floating cancel worthy.

What a hot mess of a strawberry floating take.

strawberry floating up the tweet code and not bothering to fix it should be cancel worthy.

Looks like I managed to do it....

To answer your question, I don’t think that is cancel worthy. I don’t 100% agree with Scarlett on the issue but somebody shouldn’t be cancelled just for saying they should be allowed to play any character.

I’ve only read the headline in the tweet though, the article might have cancel worthy stuff in.

I mean, it's the comparing of minorities and trans people to animals and trees that I had a problem with.

Seriously though, is a strawberry floating awful take. Here's the best paid actress in the world defending her right to take roles away from actors from minority groups, and doing it in the most dismissive, ignorant way.

It's also worth remembering she's doubled down on her defence for Israel recently, after that whole Soda Stream thing.

Use the mobile link and it still works.

EDIT: also, that is a great review (although the repeated description of the movie as "virtual reality" was a really annoying use of the wrong terminology!)

[Mafro]

That guy has done a ton of good DC and Marvel comic reviews as well on the same site.

Ign has an article about the new bond movie. Title of it is a spoiler and it's going to be a big story as it'll annoy a lot of people who are looking to get annoyed.

Spoilers for new bond film

Basically.... Bond is no longer 007. So the new 007 is.....the black female co pilot from captain marvel.

Seriously?

I don't know how to process that.

I've added a link to the story.... It's to the daily mail though.

What roles has she taken from minority actresses (other than possibly Motoko in Ghost in the Shell)?

There are millions of talented black widow spiders that deserved their chance, but no, Hollywood had to cast a blonde human instead

She was forced to step down from playing a trans man recently in the upcoming Rub and Tug. She originally dug her heels in but popular sentiment turfed her out.

EDIT: The quote her rep gave in response to the criticisms of her playing a trans man was "Tell them they can be directed to Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman’s reps for comment”

Yikes.
