Thank you for finally putting words to the reaction I have to him. Pointy ferret. Yep. |

SNL is now only funny to old white ranting men because that's solely who they write for now. I am not sure why they narrowed their focus like that (somehow I blame Trump) but they did. It's so bad and awkward now that it's embarrassing to watch.
Woody Allen movies have always been creepy even when people were praising them. Leonardo di Caprio has never been attractive and Titantic was stupid. Taylor Swift's new album is boring. Killmonger in Black Panther is by far the best, most thoughtful, strongest, and most interesting "villain" in the MCU and shouldn't have been killed off. (That might not be an unpopular opinion.) |
She was also terrible in Groundhog Day. Beautiful woman, awful cringey actress. How she ever got a second chance in any movie is beyond understanding |
Agree about Killmonger. Thought so At the time, great character and amazing acting. Especially now with the loss of Chad. |
Living Single was a funny show. I have always been a fan of Queen Latifah. I just watched her movie Last Holiday again on prime. Friends was a completely different show. The only stable character on Friends was Ross, the paleontologist, and his ex wife was a lesbian. Again, completely different Gen Xer humor, self-deprecating. |
No, it’s not a completely different show. https://www.nj.com/entertainment/2020/01/david-schwimmer-maybe-there-should-be-an-all-black-friends-queen-latifah-and-living-single-would-like-a-word.html |
Not only did Friends rip off Living Single, but The Golden Girls ripped the show 227. |
Living Single was Queen Latifah's show and centered on her and the other three women. The two men were just supporting roles. Friends was a cast of six lead characters. The three men were not in a supporting role to the three women. |
The show Full House completely ripped off and stole from the sitcom The Jeffersons. It's so obvious. It's been discussed and it's common knowledge. The Jeffersons was way funnier than Full House. |
Game of Thrones is totally overrated. Seriously - I watched the whole thing expecting it to get better (since that is what everyone says) and nope. |
Ma’am, read the article. Also, maybe actually watch Living Single. You keep touting this and I’m going to disagree. Phoeobe and Joey seemed like supporting characters. But it doesn’t matter at the end of the day. Friends was based on the same concept of Living Single. It wasn’t original. They replaced black characters in Brooklyn with white characters in Manhattan. |
I watched both shows. They were completely different shows. Living Single was Queen Latifah's show. It was about Queen Latifah, a successful black woman entrepreneur. Living Single had successful Black characters including an attorney, a stockbroker, and a business owner, in contrast to Friends, which featured white characters including a waitress, a folk singer, and an unemployed actor, and no lead characters of color.[6] These were two very different shows. |
Sorry, but you are completely in denial. Friends was a knockoff of Living Single. This isn’t some secret. Read the article (there are other articles too). Oh and some of the other jobs you didn’t list from Living Single include, handyman, retail associate, unemployed actress, receptionist. Both Chandler and Ross were successful (ie Kyle and Maxine from Living Single). Monica was sometimes successful as a chef (ie Khadijah - her magazine wasn’t successful until the last season when it was bought). The only difference is one was white and the other was black. The premise of both shows were friends living in NY. |
PP here. Yes, it's even a worse decision now that we have lost Chad. Killmonger should have had a spin-off. Amazing acting and character depth. |
