Last November the New York Times, which never gets a story wrong, ran a piece about a potential "Obama Effect" in television casting.

That is to say, as America had elected a person of color president, fake liberal Hollywood might just catch up and start casting people of color in lead roles in dramatic series.

In some other, alt Spock-with-a-beard universe, the new movie “Obsessed” would be as little as its producers wish it to be: an elongated, filmed catfight targeted toward young men who'll willing hand over their hard earned pay in hopes of witnessing the female leads rip each others’ shirts off.
 
But we don't live in an alt universe. We live in our universe. And in our universe, “Obsessed” is the most significant film of the decade.
