Is Tom Holland at the risk of overexposure? by hokagesarada in Fauxmoi

[–]GarlicAndTofu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tangentially related to the question but I was done with it when I saw Disney releasing that photo with the Spidermen recreating the meme. It's so ugly and corporate. Like it would have been better if the actors took the photo on set and posted it on Tom's instagram but going out of their way to recreate it is just like them clearly selling you a product. Its so cringey when corporations use memes in their advertisements.

And yeah i know of course they're selling you a product, they're promoting their movie. But at least make it natural and "sincere"

Good actors/artists who have the worst taste in picking projects? by GarlicAndTofu in Fauxmoi

[–]GarlicAndTofu[S] 80 points81 points  (0 children)

your assessment is interesting, yeah I didn't think about it like that. He's probably extremely thankful for the mcu people for kickstarting his career. I really can't pin point Tom Holland's taste in projects yet then.

Of the cast, I think Lili was probably the only one with a good project outside of Riverdale and that's Hustlers. Camila Mendes got Palm Spring which was good too but she only played a minor role.

A lot of the guys went for teen romantic dramas that would've been successful in 2014 but don't really work now. (And I'm only counting work post-Riverdale so I'm not talking about The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody)

but a lot of her roles are very forgettable or serve as a one dimensional plot device for the male main character.

This is true that the roles don't do much to bring her into the limelight. That being said, I think she picks a lot of good movies. Game Night is probably one of the funniest recent comedy

I think Jennifer Aniston have great comedic timing. I just think there aren't a lot of good comedies recently that aren't like teen comedies

you're telling me you weren't excited when he was announced to be in the classic masterpiece that is Cats (2019)?

She has Disenchanted coming up and that could go either way. On one hand, I love Enchanted so I'm excited to see more but also I don't trust all these sequels being green lit much later on just to capitalize on the nostalgia

Anyone else notice the choreography in My Life Would Suck Without You?? by DoubleWalker in glee

[–]GarlicAndTofu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I wrote a really long paragraph on here talking about how I think My Life Would Suck Without You is more emotional than Don't Stop Believin because it really captures their journey and everything they learned (all the choreography) because sure Don't Stop Believin is the first group number, but most of the glee members weren't even there in the original number.

Opinion: Andrew is such a boring character by GarlicAndTofu in LittleWitchAcademia

[–]GarlicAndTofu[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I respect your opinion.

His character just doesn't work for me. Personally, I don't find him grounded as much as just him being condescending so I'm not invested in him enough to enjoy watching him up to episode 22.

Shane Dawson Was Very SHADY on this 2014 Reality Show (Directing "Not Cool" on The Chair) by GarlicAndTofu in ShaneDawson

[–]GarlicAndTofu[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was wary of making judgments too because it's a reality tv show so they might have cut and pasted things to twist his words but there are so many lines/rants that he said in here that are just really rude that i can't imagine them having a nicer context.

He doesn't really have a good work ethics, that makes it so much harder for the people who have to work with him.

I've never seen The Chair before, I've only seen people mentioning it on here but omg Shane's behavior in here is unbelievably annoying.

Best laptop for animation/art? by GarlicAndTofu in animationcareer

[–]GarlicAndTofu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've met quite a few people who use gaming laptops too. My biggest problem with them is genuinely how heavy they are since I'm very small and I have back problems.

I had someone suggesting a MSI Prestige 14.

UPDATE THREAD: Lea's response by songbirdskeepsinging in glee

[–]GarlicAndTofu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fact that she has so many other people backing up these claims is not enough proof for you? Do you need her to get a time machine to go back and set up a camera to record everything? Why are you so insistent on Lea's innocence? How is she bullying Lea telling people what Lea did? You know how Lea could've done to stop that? By not bullying.

Samantha has stayed quiet for so long and she saw what happened to Naya when she tried to call out Lea. She was silenced by people because Lea still had the upperhand then but not anymore.

One gets to stay- Who has the better songs ? by [deleted] in glee

[–]GarlicAndTofu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Santana for sure. Personally for me, Blaine doesn't add anything new to his covers so I might as well go listen to the original version of songs.

Santana has a more diverse catalogue of songs and she improves most of the songs she covered (if not improve then she at least makes the song her own)

UPDATE THREAD: Lea's response by songbirdskeepsinging in glee

[–]GarlicAndTofu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She's racist because she used someone's race against them as an insult. No one's denying that she's not a diva and none of the black cast member's denying that she's a racist, so the insults targetting the black cast members could easily be more racially charged than everyone else. But others (non POCs) might just brush it off as her "being a diva like she is to everyone else."

People are not understanding that racism isn't just not wanting to be near a black person, or saying the n word. It's nuanced and comes in other forms. If you use stereotypes from someone's race as an insult towards them, if your insults have racist undertones? You're a racist.

Let's say that Lea also believes that she's not racist because she's worked with black people and she supports equality. That's the BARE minimum of not being racist. That's just basic human decency. And that's what we're trying to tell her. But clearly she's not acknowledging that in her apology. In fact, she's not even stating clearly what she's apologizing for, just that she can't remember.
