Hail, Caesar! - for whiter than white whites (1 Viewer)

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

P.S - P.O.C is the most ridiculous term ever, whoever started pushing that term hard literally circled back into referring to Black people as "coloured" and somehow got away with it and fooled everyone.

Amen to that. Are whites P.O.N.C?

It's a group term that aims to be inclusive for everyone who is not white. Whites are white.

Typically it's the white lads who have a problem with it.

I've read an instance where an older black British person has objected to it as it reminded him of nasty words people used to say to him in the 60's.

Oh also, on the Nina thing, I think any white person who gets involved in that is on amazingly shaky ground.

Yeah I heard that too. It's a US term mainly isn't it? I can probably get behind calling it ridiculous to bash American imperialism if that'll get us all together.

Where's the casual anti-americanism thread?

But what is white? Are Latinos (is there a different term I should be using?)? Turkic people?
Even within Europe you've got a huge palette of 'whiteness'.

West European white (in America) mainly. Probably no and no to your question. It's not an exact science.

When in doubt google image search "CEO" and remove anyone who looks out of place for a rule of thumb.

White's not a colour dumbie!

Ok, maybe that's it's intent, but having said that it's pretty much exactly the same as referring to a non white person as "coloured" which was deemed derogatory a long time ago.

Hey, the CEO of McDonalds is of colour. 19th in Google images.

This guy though. Number 1. The epitome of whiteness.

Once again, it is a tough gig being a black actress, where even if you do get a role in a major movie, you get called out for being racist.

Leslie Jones hits back at criticism against her 'Ghostbusters' character

Racist against ghosts.

If anyone wants me, I'll be in Shondaland

Speaking of white guys, this guy is Iranian and looks like his people are from Kinnegad. He's also been sentenced to death for embezzlement.

So I saw this the other night. Thought it was a load of shite. About as uninteresting and insignificant as True Grit and Burn After Reading which I rate pretty low for the Coens.

It seemed more smug than funny in it's humour when it wasn't just being plain unfunny - Mr. Skank hahahahahahahhahaah hilarious!

The scene where Ralph Fiennes was giving the kid a line reading was pretty great though.

Yeah, just cos they are super into the whole period didn't make it inherently more interesting.

It was almost less than the sum of its considerable parts.

Tim you're off my christmas card list. I loved this and Burn After Reading. True Grit is good and all.

The only bad Coens film is The Ladykillers. I even liked Intolerable Cruelty

I was pleasantly surprised by Intolerable Cruelty too! I genuinely enjoyed that one!

But this almost seemed like a Coen's pastiche! I hated the voice over! It might have worked better for me had everyone been an unknown besides Brolin.
And I have to say it looked quite cheap which is bizarro considering it's a Roger Deakins movie. I guess digital just gives things that look but people roll with it anyway.........beats the shit out of me why!

 

[David Kronenbourg]

i found it funny, clever and great to look at. And how about those musical numbers?
