Crime-thriller? I saw Bound and I’m pretty sure it’s a Romance. ;)
That Dexter quote and the visuals that went with it really shouldn’t have been funny, yet was incredibly so. Definitely the right call to have Deb be Dexter’s Dark Passenger.
Dexter has always had a Gallows Humor to it/him…
Context as a lot to do with the joke ‘popping’…
and I think the biggest Danger to the joke not working is/was that it’s citing Fargo: the Movie, now 25 years old (unless the Fargo Series has revisited the woodchipper)
I know it’s “on brand” but the visual addition made it quite a visceral scene.
.
Was similarly amusing this week with Harrison using some of Deb’s favourite curses.
Transphobia, bad. Check
Misogyny, okay. Check.
Sorry, just updating my scorecard for crappy television commentary.
If you’re talking about the Rowling jab from Saved by the Bell, you understand that TVLine is just explaining the intended context of the line, right?
It’s the character passing judgment, not the journalists
(though everyone is entitled to their opinions. You clearly have many.)
As if you don’t.
That’s the fun part about the word “everyone” – it includes… you know… everyone.
“Explaining’ is being overly generous to the writer of the tvline blurb.
They took a side by calling her ‘transphobic.’ Not qualifying her as ‘allegedly’ or even hinting that there might be disagreement on the suddenly controversial words of JK Rowling, is the ‘journalist’ passing judgement.
The quote from the show has an implicit suggestion of Rowling’s supposedly dark turn, whereas the writer here was explicit with their slur.
TVLine obviously needed to explain the implied context for the sake of those who are unaware, but you’re right they could have used some sort of qualifying adjective.
However, Rowling’s transphobia isn’t exactly “alleged.” It’s established that she said what she said, and she hasn’t taken it back, and it was indeed transphobic, even if it comes from a well-intentioned stance of female solidarity.
Declarative statements saying that her words were indeed transphobic is going beyond having an opinion.
Apparently slurring someone is okay with you and the libellous blurb enthusiast.
Scorecard updated again…
again here’s what rowling said that males are born males females are born females and her stating scienticfic fact is somehow transphobic
You might have missed this, but the quoted person referring to JKR is in fact trans so her meaning was inherently clear in the context. It’s not the writer passing judgement. There is also no need to put journalist in quotes, they are entertainment news writers, not graduates of the Columbia School of Journalism.
The Nash Bridges quote was classic!!!
Of course, the quote was from Sami. Best character on daytime television, bar none.
Also, love the banter between Hawkeye and Kate.
