Y’all, “Stuber” did not get good reviews at all, and it also bombed at the box office over the weekend.
‘Late Night’: probably not for men, white or otherwise
I went into “Late Night” with fairly low expectations. It’s rated 79 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 71 percent on Metacritic and 6.3/10 on IMDB, which while not bad at all, the movie severely underperformed at the box office over the weekend.
A-pop! Constance Wu seems humble
While the “Crazy Rich Asians” fever pitch was happening last summer, I was very withholding in my appreciation, very careful and moderated. I like to think it was because a part of me intuited that nearly a year later, we would be watching Constance Wu try to torch the show that first gave her a shot at mainstream success. Ha!
“The Sun Is Also a Star” has likeable stars and tackles immigration — but is also so boring omg
“The Sun Is Also a Star” is the film adaptation of Nicola Yoon’s 2016 young adult novel of the same name, about two young strangers who fall in love in the course of a day — the hitch being that one of them is set to be deported at the end of the day.
‘A.P. Bio’ star Mary Sohn on her Korean parents and holding it down for the regular Asian ladies
Last spring, actor and comedian Mary Sohn landed on a network TV show after years of hard work performing on cruise ships and waiting tables. Sohn was talking to her mom who, at that point, was finally much more on board with her daughter’s unconventional career path.
A-pop! Man tries to sell daughter, does not go well. Also, Miyazaki hates America and I love it!
Happy March! This month, we learn about the lengths an Asian parent will go to, to ensure that their beloved child gets the bestest leg up in the world. There’s just nothing that compares to an Asian parent’s love, you know?
OMG, maybe I was wrong, and it’s our South Korean overlords we should worry about?
Sometimes I like to be my own worst critic and read my column through the lens of a conservative white YouTube video commenter.
API Hall of Fame/Shame, because it’s hard to say only nice things about people
Man, 2018 was a fun year for Asian-y stuff. I feel like there’s been a shift. It used to be that we’d featured the same ol’ entertainers year after year — like Bai Ling, who was a hot mess that we constantly had to talk a lot about at one point — because there were so few API entertainers.
A-pop! — I hate Star Wars. I’m scared saying that out loud. So I’m going to run away and hide now.
Hi, guys! This month in pop culture news, we have it all. We have research that flies in the face of decades of racist conventional wisdom. We have an Asian dream team coming together to make what will hopefully be the best romantic comedy there ever has been. We have sex cult stuff. And we also have a Vietnamese American actor who was driven off of social media because — guess why! — people were racist dicks to her.
A-pop! Watch out, people of color. In the future, we are all dead.
By Stacy Nguyen Northwest Asian Weekly Yo, guys, how do we feel about the word “Oriental”? I know we’ve mostly decided to stop calling human beings this, unless you are like, over 60 years old — then you get a pass, I guess. But are we still okay with calling rugs and Top Ramen Oriental? […]
