Anyone watching Shadowhunters on ABC Family? It is a bit derivitive of Buffy, but stars Alexandra Daddario's brother Matthew. That is one hot family -- nm - GregW Jan 18, 09:02 4

    - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - znufrii Jan 18, 10:38
  - for that, I would just get window units. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 10:17 3

One other thing I'd add about Hollywood is that movies made from a different perspective than the Hollywood norm get written off as flukes. - Roger More Jan 18, 08:49 2
- I think the academy gets an undue bad rap sometimes. One year they're racist. Forrest Whitaker wins best actor, oh they weren't racist that year. - Loyola Jan 18, 08:58 1
  - Again, it's not specifically that they are ignoring great performances, it's that they don't get a chance to give them - Reagen Jan 18, 09:15

  - That's how I felt about Julio three months before the draft. -- nm - Davi Jan 18, 09:34 1
    - Yeah, but Rick's draft philosophy precludes a Julio-type deal. -- nm - ML Jan 18, 09:51

- 10 years ago. What has he really done since then? -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:39 44
  - Why is it up to him and just him? - Reagen Jan 18, 08:41 35
    - I never said it was, I said he is part of the problem. - groiny Jan 18, 08:43 34
      - Replace "black" with "gay." What you're saying makes no sense. -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:11 6
        
        OFFS. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 09:12 5
        
        Don't OFFS this, you can't pick and choose your arguement. You're completely wrong. -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:14 4
        
        you can have your opinion. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 09:14 3
        
        Opinions without facts to support them aren't worth much. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 09:17 2
        
        Dustin Lance Black won an damn Oscar, and can't get hired, unless it's to write niche gay stuff. -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:19
        
        well, I can't tell which directors are gay because they do not have rainbow skin. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 09:18
      - I think it's time to repackage your character. The White Man Rage gimmick is this board's Red Rooster. -- nm - David Jan 18, 08:44 17

        I -almost- said him instead. -- nm - Davi Jan 18, 09:03
        
        If you can't see what it is I am saying, I can't possibly discuss this with you. -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:47 14
        
        I see exactly how it is. As long as there is 1% of it that can be laid at his feet (and if it's anything it's that Spike is in the - Reagen Jan 18, 08:52 6
        
        who is gonna help break through then? - groiny Jan 18, 08:55 5
        
        He's making his movies. He's not the black filmmaking Mother Teresa. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:56 4
        
        hilarious. - groiny Jan 18, 08:57 1
        
        Yup, 1% his problem. Nothing to be done. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 09:00
        
        "I'm not the black filmmaking Mother Teresa!" would be a good line in a movie. -- nm - Max Jan 18, 08:57 1
        
        Especially if spoken by Jesse Eisenberg -- nm - prayformojo Jan 18, 09:02
        
        I think all of us see what you are saying. You just don't want to hear how you are wrong. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 08:49 5
        
        so, how does it change then? -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:51 4
        
        By white folk recognizing there's an issue and most of it could be corrected if they realized that. - TWuG Jan 18, 09:15 3
        
        Tim Story is the only guy I can think of although there are possibly others, but he's been shoved back into the pigeon hole - Reagen Jan 18, 09:22 2
        
        Antoine Fuqua -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 09:27
        
        F. Gary Gray -- nm - Roger More Jan 18, 09:24
        
        Well, that's that, then. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 18, 08:48
      - I think you're ascribing entirely too much power to him. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:44 8
        
        he has the name, and you can't tell me he can't help with the issue as he describes. - groiny Jan 18, 08:47 7
        
        your argument illustrates the problem perfectly -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 18, 08:51 4
        
        there is a reason why Michael Bay keeps getting hired for movies. - groiny Jan 18, 08:54 3
        
        But think about newbie directors being given a shot at directing big name franchise movies - Roger More Jan 18, 09:04 2
        
        sure, there are exceptions. - groiny Jan 18, 09:12 1
        
        Well, those are four exceptions, and just the ones at the top of my head. So it's not really exceptions, it's a pattern. - Roger More Jan 18, 09:22
        
        He did that, 25 years ago. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 08:48 1
        
        so he did his part back then and he is off the hook now? -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:49
  - spike could do paycheck movies if he wanted. that's never been what he wanted to do -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 18, 08:40 6
    - as I said, he is part of the problem. - groiny Jan 18, 08:41 5
      - I just think he should do more movies with his brother Stan. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 08:51 4
        
        He could totally have done a Black Panther movie. - groiny Jan 18, 08:56 3
        
        when he was at his peak heat, around Malcolm X, Hollywood never would have greenlit a Black Panther movie, which is part of his point -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 18, 08:58 2
        
        so Hollywood has gotten better since then? -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:59 1
        
        better than 92, yes, and comic book movies have eaten the industry and it's an easy move now -- nm* - slipping jimmy Jan 18, 09:00

- they could write "asshole" on the name line, as long as the price is good, for all I care. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:37 3
  - *doctor* asshole -- nm - ML Jan 18, 08:39
  - Sounds like you speak from experience. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 18, 08:38 1
    - it may have happened a time or two -- nm - groiny Jan 18, 08:38
- he uses his brainpower for important stuff, spelling is for nerds -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 08:37
- How are they supposed to know the z is silent? -- nm - Roger More Jan 18, 08:35
Would you like to watch a rocket land, tip over, then explode? -- (link) - ML Jan 18, 08:34 9
- So, so close. -- nm - spamlet Jan 18, 08:43
- I feel bad for that one dude/team whose probably only responsibility is "collet lockouts." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 08:42 2
  - "was" -- nm - ML Jan 18, 08:45 1
    - True. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 09:05
