zadi: LOL. My favorite moment from August’s PBS press tour. I was busy interviewing the Sesame Street gang, so I didn’t realize what happened at the time.
In Steve’s words:
“At the TV Critics Press Tour in August, we interviewed Sesame Street. I was so dumbstruck by watching Maria, Grover, and Cookie Monster, that I ACTUALLY REACHED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA to adjust audio levels on a mixing...

This is clearly the greatest movie review ever written. The blockquote below doesn’t even do it justice.
You know who I love? I love anyone who hated this movie because I would like to fight them to the death for being wrong as balls. Fuckouttahere. I wanna be on the 2012 thrill park ride, playing 2012 on my Nintendo DS, eating the 2012-branded chocotaco and watching this movie at the same...

This movie is based on a true story. A rich white family really did adopt Michael Oher, a homeless black teenager, and eventually, he became an NFL star. In the real world, that’s very moving.
In the manipulated world of movie trailers, however, Oher’s story is a disturbing revival of the “benevolent white master” trope.
