First ‘Fences’ Screening Turns Into Love Fest for Denzel Washington Drama
If the reaction of the Screen Actors Guild members who filled nearly 700 seats for the first Los Angeles screening of Denzel Washington’s “Fences” on Saturday night is any indication, Washington, his cast and Paramount Pictures should soon be awash in rave reviews and shiny statuettes. Naturally it won’t be that easy, but the Saturday screening at the Regent Village Westwood theater was a triumphant bow for director-actor Washington’s adaptation of August Wilson’s family drama, which ran on the Broadway stage in 1987 with James Earl Jones and in a revival with Washington in 2010. The capacity audience included studio…

In Which I Scold My Friends and Colleagues
I teach in a law school capital defense clinic, in which we mandate that our students never, ever post anything related to the representation of their clients on Facebook or other social media platforms. I didn’t think this was a controversial position, as it tracks the ethics rules in virtually every state. But I see criminal defense lawyer friends of mine posting about their cases on Facebook all the time. They post about victories, defeats, their travel plans related to case work, the issues they are researching, and the personalities involved in their cases. Some of these posts seem like…

Melania Trump Accused of Plagiarism Again, This Time From Marla Maples
Melania Trump made a much-talked about speech condemning cyberbullying on Thursday, but apparently some of it had been said before — by Marla Maples. Yep, the GOP nominee’s wife has been accused of plagiarizing from none other than the GOP nominee’s ex-wife. Yair Rosenberg, a senior writer for Tablet Magazine, tweeted that Melania had lifted the phrase “if you could dream it, you could become it” from an old interview with Donald’s second spouse, as both Mrs. Trumps misquoted a similar famous saying, he said, citing another Twitter user.

Teacher To Muslim Refugee Student: You’re A Terrorist, And I Can’t Wait Until Donald Trump Deports All You Muslims.
Get a cup of coffee. Attend worship services. Go to the library. Board a flight. Ride a train. Take a bus. Drive a car. Walk down the street. Fill up at a gas station. Go to work. These are things that most of us do every day without a second thought, but these unremarkable events are increasingly fraught with fear for many Muslims. As a wave of bigotry sweeps the country, Muslims (and those perceived to be Muslim) are facing unprecedented harassment, discrimination, and violence simply for living their lives. It seems anti-Muslim bigotry is everywhere, even in our public…

Why Beyonce’s CMAs Performance Is So Iconic, From a Historical Perspective
Beyonce dominating the CMAs stage with the Dixie Chicks in Nashville was in all aspects a breathtaking performance, but more importantly it was iconic for the mere fact that it, if even for a minute, shed light on a major deficit in country music. Specifically, a deficit of black artists. Not that black country artists don’t exist, they just tend to be erased from the genre. The myth that black people and country music don’t mix has seemingly transpired into a feigned reality.
