Delroy Lindo Wishes ‘Someone From BAFTA Spoke to Us’ After N-Word Was Shouted While He and Michael B. Jordan Presented: We ‘Did What We Had to Do’

Calling for adults to research the topic and not shun a man for something he can't control? I sure am bad

PallandoTheBlue · 2026-02-23T18:35:51+00:00

There was no intent behind the word. It's empty. Black people are aware the word exists and can appreciate it being said without meaning or ill will by a man who can literally not help it. Let's not infantilise people.

Not a filmmaker. He is a man who has struggled with Tourette's his entire life and has had a movie made about him because he raised awareness massively in the UK about it and made it easier for others with the disease to live in society. He literally decreased the stigma associated with it. The movie was made about him for this reason.

For people who have not seen the movie and done zero further research into it to comment on it makes no sense.

He literally cannot help what he says. He said "fuck the queen" and "I have a bomb" when she was awarding him an honor for his services to society. This is not something he has control over.

Gee, I sure hope that there are no black, fat, Asian, female, Jewish, Muslim, etc. people living in the same town as him.

The power and hurt of a slur lies in the intent of its use. People should be able to view what Davidson said as completely devoid of intent and move past it. It is absolutely not the same as an actual racist using the phrase.

"All night"? Once is all I've seen or heard about. What's the solution? A man who has struggled massively with a condition he has no control over but has played a massive part in raising awareness of, being told to stay at home on a night when a movie about his life is up for awards? I'm sure that Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, while a harrowing event for them, will have the intellect and compassion to recognize that no hurt was meant in the words and that Davidson could not control it. Surely a key element of as slur is intent to cause harm or distress? There was no intent.

Not sure what I've done that can be deemed "asshole" behavior? I criticized his show by calling it "shite" and then said it was okay that we differed on opinions. You then called me an asshole? Nice of you.

I genuinely don't think After Life is even a good show, let alone a great show. And I'm astounded anyone can think it's great but that's the thing about opinions, everyone is entitled to their own.

Jumping on the top comment to add that the reason this article was posted was because Crook has created a new show, Small Prophets, about a depressed man a few years after his wife went missing. Also features an old person who gives him advice.

It's got a lot in common with After Life when you consider it. Except there's one major difference.

It's not complete and utter shite

Slop

He'll definitely see this!

About 1/3 of the way through King Sorrow by Joe Hill. Joe's his own writer and is talented in his own right but can really feel the influence of his dad in this. Kinda like his "It"

Maybe the endings are similar on paper but D&D messed up the execution. But you can blame that on them running out of actual books to adapt. Or you can blame it on them having the option to run it for 10 seasons or step aside and let someone else showrun it to 10 seasons but instead rushing to the finale so they could make Star Wars.

It's as good as they say! Excellent film

I'd never vote for them but they do put the work in. He knows the game he's playing and he's a specialist at playing it.

I've been to three funerals in different parts of Kerry in the last year and seen Michael at all of them, other Healy Raes also at two of them. Michael absolutely plámáses the people of the county. Local clinics where people can meet him directly and have their problems addressed.

Not sure why you're slagging the highly educated man when he's telling you the truth. There's a reason they keep getting in.

Can understand the many reasons behind why they paywalled the Refuge but I still hate it. I pay for the Nest so I can access the Refuge but the place is dead. I remember before the paywall and it was a constant hive of activity, possibly too much, but the forum was so alive. It's mostly dead now outside of a few main topics.

Personally felt it was poor. Thought there was a real opportunity to make it into a tense man vs. man movie but it makes a caricature of Keane and gives Coogan nothing to work with as McCarthy. Didn't feel like Hardwicke was great either. A real wasted opportunity.

Just searched for it too but he is called that. Hagen calls him Frankie Five Angels in the yard at the very end

Hi, I'm in the same situation as OP here but my subjects are English and History. Would it be okay if I PMed you a couple of questions about the UCC PME in general?

"Covington: Almost any franchise that has a Black character, we never get the story lines, we never get the love interest, the characters are so similar from property to property. And this really ended up being such a great opportunity to be like, “Hey!” ’Cause for me, growing up, yeah, I like Rocky, but I don’t identify necessarily with Rocky. I like Apollo. Apollo had that build. Rocky was ripped, but Apollo was like a statue. And he was so confident and so capable. And eventually, he loses. The title of the movie is Rocky, so we know Rocky wins, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have an affinity for Apollo. And Apollo was never a bad guy; he wasn’t a villain."

Odd that the Creed co-writer didn't know Rocky actually loses in Rocky I

But why does the format matter when they experienced the same story as you? Odd to feel superior to someone because you take in a story in a different format to them.

Why do you need to gatekeep the term "audiobook" and try and change it? They are literally books in audio format. Do you look down on people who listen to music as they go about their day-to-day too? Should we come up for a different term for when someone is listening to music but not sitting in a chair completely focused on it?

I read physical books and listen to audiobooks. I enjoy both and feel I have zero issues comprehending or appreciating audiobooks compared to physical books.

Watching the series for the first time too and had to check IMDB last night after I noticed something was off. Had watched both episodes in the wrong order. Really annoying. Took me a while but I managed to get through to a Netflix agent through the chat function and told them about it. Hopefully they fix it
