Book Favorite

"With blatant disregard for what it “ought” to be, this book is simultaneously exhilarating and devastating. It’s propelled by an ecstatic and acute rage that unmasks the insidious, mendacious, and pervasive web of technology, gentrification, racism, sexism, celebrity worship…"

World building, some of the stories are amazing (0 more)
The heavy-handed religion, sexism, xenophobia, ham-fisted morality, God hates Susan (0 more)
These are really uneven.
If you skip The Horse and His Boy, The Last Battle, and arguably The Magician's Nephew, these are pretty good reads.

Brilliant! I
I really enjoyed this but it was just way too short of a season.
It's fantasy that I have never seen before and what makes it even better is how it includes many of the everyday things we all read about, see, experience etc, such as racism, sexism, etc.
I can to wait for season 2

Slightly disappointed, slightly repetitive
I was absolutely gearing up for Roxane Gay's latest book which turned out to be a mish mash of interesting short stories, intersecting racism, classism and sexism. The only issue was about 75% of the book seemed to repeat itself. It seemed to be missing a trick - there are more to women's lives than men, which was the main focus.

This film was horrendous. The sexism and misogyny that radiates from this movie are too much. The plot is bad, the acting was bad, it's really just bad. I have a friend who said that this is one of his favorite movies and for the life of me, I can't figure out why!

Maybe it's just not my jam, personally, I don't know. I just can say, without a doubt, I did not like this film.

Mildly disturbing, beyond crude
There are very few films out there where the cringe factor outstrips the comedy, but this definitely hits it. While I was mildly impressed by its all star cast (Edward Norton, Salma Hayek, Kristin Wiig, Seth Rogen), I was also slightly distressed by its ridiculous storyline, especially the last Sausage Party scene - which says it all. The language and content goes beyond South Park levels of inappropriate. Expect sexism, racism, rampant sex scenes, and drug use - in animated form. It's definitely not Disney.

Mary Anne only stops being a doormat because she fears the wrath of K. Ron Hubbard. Check.

An older woman, who presumably has been living by herself for quite a while, breaks her ankle and just...lays around waiting for someone to hear her yelling? I'm going to pretend that she just passed out from the pain, woke up and figured she'd call out before moving her ass so a neighboring cat wouldn't eat her face.

The sexism b-plot with Nicky and Buddy was kinda nice, though.

Sexism (0 more)
I used to watch the original To Tell the Truth; the old one in black & white, late at night on the Game Show Network, and loved it. It was charming, classy, intriguing, delightful, and funny. So I was excited when the modern iteration of the game show came out. I'm not a huge fan of the host but he's tolerable. What I don't like is his mother, Doris. She makes disgusting sexual comments that are highly inappropriate to the male contestants. Comments that would not be tolerated if a man were making them toward a woman. The men are visually uncomfortable with her remarks but they play it off like it's a funny joke, but it isn't. I'm appalled that that level of sexism is allowed on television in the post #metoo movement world. I would have thought that people realized that you can't treat people like a piece of meat but apparently Doris did not get that message. She needs to go! Boot her off the show!

Other than her, they have people with interesting secrets and truths to tell on the show and it's fun to try to guess which one of the contestants is the one with the secret. It's a shame that Doris has to spoil an otherwise entertaining show.
