I have never actually played a max Payne game, but I think that mostly has to do with my having gone to public school in New York, and besides I have great respect for gamer culture.

She did a worse Danny Devito impersonation than The Rock.

So imagine that, the professional actor/comedienne was worse at her job than the man whose job for most of the preceding 20 years was to pretend to be punched in the face.

there were no good danny devito impressions in that movie

what an absolutely terrible choice, to introduce danny devito at the beginning of your comedy and then replace him with bad impressions

In the midst of this controversy, I asked Awkwafina who does she think she is, and she said "awkwafina"; I asked her where she gets off, and she said "all over." I demanded to know what gave her the right and she said the LORD.

Seven. I consider myself a pretty passionate person especially where posting is concerned

E: in all seriousness I do think it’s a really fun subject. The social media public accusation/apology ritual we developed in the 2010s is absurd and delightful and I think the unique vocabulary of both the accuser and accused is so strange and funny when it’s over something very trivial. because I find it humorous and interesting I make a lot of posts when there is a thread about it

Yeah I watched her in the Farewell, and while I enjoyed the movie, her Chinese was noticeably bad. Not really sure why she decided to go to into a movie career when I feel like she was more interesting as a rapper.

Musicians don't make any money. Or at least not as much as they used to. It's why Will Smith doesn't do music anymore.

Think about how Steven Seagal started speaking in his later movies to sound "cool" or how he made a rap song about poonani to cash in on black culture. It matters cause doing that is sorta wack, but if like, someone from the ciry says "mad" or some poo poo who cares imo

She probably wouldn't have caught any flack in the first place if she hadn't done a few extremely self-righteous interviews where she talked about how she would never do an accent, and anyone asking her to do an accent for a role is racist. That then caused black twitter to pop up like "oh, you say you've never done an accent?"

A good contrast to this is Paul Wall. Dude isn't putting anything on, he just actually talks like that. Some people on twitter tried to target him for the same kind of accusations, and were immediately met with an enormous wave of folks who had Paul Wall's back (including a lot of musicians and artists from Houston who had known him forever and who he had personally helped over the years).
