    Currently watching The Ranganation. What the fuck has Katherine Ryan done to her face?

    Watched Ted Lasso over the weekend. The trailer makes it look shit but I really liked it.

    A lot of really likeable characters (including Ted) but Juno Temple as Keeley was great.

    As it goes on it turns into what I was afraid it would be, but for the most part I really liked it. The main character is great.

    I used to really like Adam Curtis, but there came a point where I couldn't get my head far enough up my own arse to enjoy them. Bitter Lake was bad, HyperNormalisation was worse. I don't need a contrarian Twitter thread by an anime avatar/'race realist' spun out over six hours thanks.

    If you can't enjoy learning about how everything you know is wrong and everything you do is pointless, interspersed with tangentially related shaky handheld camera footage, then I think you need to ask yourself who the real problem is here, mate.

    Yep. Great fun. I feel for the saddos watching this in dubbed, as Netflix wants you to. It's between 40 and 80 times better in the original with subs.

    The dub is so bad I genuinely waiver onto the side of thinking it's racist.

    Latest Lockdown offering was Toast of London which I absolutely loved and a lot funnier than I expected it would be.

    So, no more Brooklyn Nine Nine. As much I enjoyed the recent season, it's probably a good time to call it day.

    I re-watch a random Toast of London episode if I'm ever in a dogshit mood (quite a lot recently). As soon as the first piano chords kick in on the theme tune everything is OK again.

    Where does this stupidity end? Can black voice actors no longer voice white characters? Surely the point of a voice actor is that they can do any character - who cares what colour the actual person is?!

    The current fad for only gay actors being able to play gay characters really pisses me off. How to reduce empathy and de-normalise the characteristic, like it's fucking Down's Syndrome or something.

    Some film called Music had an autistic character and now there’s a backlash that it should have been played by someone with autism. Not sure what acting actually is anymore. Should Walter White have been played by someone who was actually suffering from lung cancer?

    If you’ve seen the newer animated version of The Grinch there is a white character with the blackest voice you’ve ever heard. Seems there’s no black people [allowed] in Whoville though.

    Jodie Turner-Smith playing Anne Boleyn really irritated me. Works fine to recast tradtionally 'white' characters with black actors, if they're fictional, but 'colourblind' casting of historical figures just comes across as pandering.

    It isn't pandering. They think they're being subversive, missing the fact that it being widely encouraged means that, by definition, they aren't. It's the modern equivalent of putting swearing or graphic sex/violence in a programme.

    I find it strange. Surely you become an actor to play roles that are different from who you really are. Yet now you have to play your own sexuality, ethnicity (in voice roles), disability etc etc.

    It's you and the AME community who are missing out since it's always black actors. Indian Anne Boleyn wouldn't cut it.

    I always want to point out that our Asians (who are more numerous than our black communities, iirc) always get left out in these things, which proves that it's all just an ego play attempting to reflect and bask in the cultural soft power of black America, but if you stay stuff like that you end up getting cancelled and forced to spend the weekend strumming with Laurence Fox.

    Americans concentrate on the East Asians spoiling their racial hierarchies, but globally Indians are the real threat to the NARRATIVE. Not only have they thrived in the West, but they ended up running half the colonies as well once we cleared out, suggesting that 'white supremacy' is actually just supremacy.

    The autism thing is especially tricky because committing to a film shoot sounds like an ordeal for a young kid. The lass in Hollyoaks manages it but she has her own quiet room on set increase shit gets intense. Still, they should've hired one for easy critical acclaim. Who's going to moan at some dodgy line deliveries when the lead's got a disability that can play right into it?

    Well I finished it last night and fuck me, I was wrong to leave it this long. I haven't been that invested in a show for a long time. Genuine butterflies in my stomach waiting for the verdict(s) to come in. I know it's an incredibly poorly kept secret but the US Justice Department is fucked. Watching him turn from a normal guy to an old man, missing all those family milestones, and still having to fight on was tough.

    I'm going to give Making A Murderer another go now.
    It's amazing isn't it. I nearly gave up after episode 1, but glad I didn't. It's genuinely a thrilling documentary.

    Asians are considered whites over here now. That's what they get for being good at school.
