This is amazing – spot-on riff on the sitcom format assuming a family of Muslims who are “not that kind of Muslims!” – beautifully done to highlight some of the challenges & injustices faced by Muslims in the US today. And funny! Four very short episodes, and I loved them all.<\/a><\/p>\n

New blog you want to read: watching 1970s Coro Street.<\/a><\/p>\n

Saw Avengers: Age of Ultron. I liked it. I could probably write a lengthy blog post about it but, who cares, right?

Nerd culture world exploded about some comments from Simon Pegg. The reaction was dumb. Pegg’s explanatory blogpost is good<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How the media didn’t talk about the WACO shootout<\/a>. (Hint: race.)<\/p>\n

And finally, via Pearce, a job ad that provides a very special opportunity. Full of wonder. “I sometimes just quickly write movie pitches that are 200 pages long so I just need an assistant who isn’t overwhelmed by 200 page movie pitches.”<\/a> That’s about the most sane thing in there, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
