Minority Mindset

During its five-year run on NBC (from fall 1984 to summer 1989), Miami Vice rapidly gained a large following and made Don Johnson a highly sought-after actor. He grew tired of playing a police officer, so he willingly turned down the opportunity to star opposite Al Capone in The Untouchables. In a recent interview, Johnson revealed his reasons for declining the role, which ultimately launched Kevin Costner’s career. The Untouchables allowed Costner to move into directing, producing, and writing, proving that appearances and roles can significantly shape a person’s path.

In the episode “Hard Salt Beef,” the knight, Dunk, asks the artist Tanselle to paint his shield. Their conversation is a bit clumsy and amusing, especially when Tanselle reveals that she was teased as a child for being so tall. Dunk’s young companion, Egg, later jokes that they’re both very large. The actress Olivia Cooke, who plays Tanselle, says she was very aware of discussions about her height online and wanted to make it clear she’s a full six feet tall, not just five-nine – which she considers her “worst nightmare.”

Uber Eats recently launched a new ad campaign with a preview during the playoff games, hinting at a larger ad coming during the Super Bowl. However, the ad immediately received negative reactions, and people quickly began sharing their complaints online. So, what’s causing all the frustration? Let’s take a closer look.

According to an arrest report obtained by People magazine, an incident occurred on January 19th at the Portofino Bay Hotel in Universal Orlando Resort. A family of four – Huberto Dorto, Laura Alonso Silva, Amanda Brito, and Olivia Nicole Brito – were eating at the hotel’s restaurant and requested parking validation. They had four parking tickets, and while two were approved, the other two could not be.

Despite its heavy themes of redemption and second chances, The Shitheads truly shines when it finds its rhythm. The film kicks off with a brilliantly funny scene featuring Killer Mike as a pastor scolding Davis (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) for taking a youth group to an inappropriate movie – the title itself is a highlight! We’re then introduced to Mark, played by Dave Franco, a talkative drug addict who lacks any sense of tact. Right away, we see how the filmmakers, Blair and Alex Orr, will create compelling drama by contrasting the characters’ worldviews. Davis is a deeply religious man seeking a direct connection with God and takes his role as a youth leader very seriously.

Let’s talk about what’s left of Angel’s disastrous trip. Last week, I thought Angel was unfairly targeted by Gizelle and had no chance of salvaging things. While I still think Gizelle’s confrontation on the jet, with the other women silently agreeing, was excessive and unpleasant, I’ve completely changed my mind about the trip overall. It might be a total failure, but if the women aren’t going to enjoy luxury, we might as well be entertained by their struggles – and that’s really all Angel provided this time around.
