"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

KGBar is also a small, cramped space. Whatever the event is, I would plan on getting there early.

not your mom's socks.

Thanks Jessica and Tom! I'm not decided on going, but if I do, I will get there early.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

Go, Gracie!

Vibes for Gracie!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Much ~ma for Grace today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, in Tropic Thunder his blackface was angled quite a bit as a comment on people who might wear blackface. RDJ's character is a super-intense actor famous for disappearing into his characters, and it's understood that he's a white guy wearing black makeup and that's fucked up. Similarly Ben Stiller's character playing a mentally disabled character is mocked as a blatant Oscar bid. It's more about actor vanity, pretension and cluelessness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Even I know to never go full retard.

I should probably get over to Netflix.
