Weren't the other scenes movie references - the whole Beiber thing wasn't, was it? and then SDJ in there makes no sense.
That bit was a nod to Midnight in Paris with the yellow car picking him up at midnight and taking him to meet famous people of the past, such as Hemmingway. So in that sense, SDJ made more sense than Bieber. Still doesn't excuse the blackface.
My condolances, Burrell & family.
I was pretty angry about White Chicks, but to paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, I wasn't offended as a white person, I was offended as a film major.
Yeah, racism against caucasians bothers me when it's in the form of overt hostility, but I don't think being good sports about being made fun of in comedy bits is too much to ask of the majority.
KGBar is also a small, cramped space. Whatever the event is, I would plan on getting there early.
Thanks Jessica and Tom! I'm not decided on going, but if I do, I will get there early.
and ita is oppressing me
Yup. I will also continue to do so, if you're making plans for the day.
Go Grace! Decannulate, or the healthiest available option!
I haven't seen Tropic Thunder, but it seems to have been described to me as everyone doing stuff on paper that I might want to avoid with great awareness and pointedness, which elevated it beyond a lot of its baggage. No personal opinion though.
Sending good surgery vibes to Gracie!
And thanks for the condolences everyone. I may be changing my board name eventually. Right now it's nice to see her name there.
I would very much like to hug Burrell and spend the day doing nothing but lounging and having comfort food. Why can't that be your day?
I would love to spend the day like that, msbelle! Might need to be virtual lounging however as I have three major work projects all falling on me right now.
Much ~ma for Grace today.
