Zootopia (2016) dir. Byron Howard and Rich Moore
It is so important to me that a kids movie had this conversation in it
This movie gave an entire generation of children a script for how to handle this issue. It showed marginalized kids that it’s okay to call people out, and gave them a script for how to do so firmly but with compassion
It also gave privileged kids a script for how to respond to being called out– which is to listen, have compassion, apologize, and never do the problematic thing again
It also managed to convey this to all the adults who brought their kids to the movies, and all the rest of us who just went because we wanted to
This scene is so important to me
SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS GOING TO GET A PUPPY AT THIS VERY MOMENT AND IM SMILING BECAUSE I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THEIR HAPPINESS
- me, on a date: so who did you side with in Fallout 4
- them: the brotherhood of steel, of course!
- me, shoving synths and ghouls into my purse: I have to leave right now immediately
“is Bernie Sanders going to lose the primaries for treating his wife like crap?”
“the Internet is freaking out over this!!”
all I see the Internet freaking out over is Hillary tone-policing him and someone saying all Bernie supporters are white, so……. I’m sorry, media coverage, but you are once again completely wrong.
also Bernie’s wife asked where she should go and he said “stand over there.” My god, you will really look for any reason you can to villainize him.
please do not be mean spirited over any dogs appearance… please be kind… they may not understand your insults but I do and im already crying
[Kate McKinnon making her castmates break during “Close Encounter” sketch]
Why did you think Kate was right for the part she played?
Kate has an innate ability to make weirdos wonderfully accessible. She felt like a real person up there, which made the weirdness of her experience on this UFO with a group of dumb aliens seem more real. She found an awesome nuance in not playing it angry or too annoyed, but weirdly accepting and kind of disappointed, yet pretty much unfazed. It’s hard to explain the method to Kate’s delightful madness.
Were the cast members laughing in the days leading up to it, too?
Yeah. Kate was like an assassin, taking them out one by one. She’d get Bobby to laugh, then spread her legs wider and wider until Aidy lost it. It was really fun watching Kate just completely control the scene and have fun up there.
I wanna hug all the black men who are dealing with depression 😔…love y'all…there will be better days sweethearts.
