It’s amazing that his positions galvanized a new generation of activism and have pushed the Democratic field to the left. He is demanding many things that we sorely need. I also agree that responsible adults must compartmentalize to some degree when it comes to political candidates - you won’t like EVERYTHING about…

It’s so hard to resist speculation, but your post will help me remember to do my best to withhold speculation without much evidence, particularly and especially when it’s of the victim blaming variety, like what your old classmate said.

I just can’t imagine what was going through Mama Closs’ head in those last few moments of her life, knowing she couldn’t protect her daughter. Nightmares like these are part of why I believe in an afterlife - all I can hope is that Jayme’s parents are at peace now, somehow knowing their daughter is safe again.

Dude - people are boycotting Gillette, because they made a commercial urging men to be less sexist, and to stand up against bullying.  Somewhere, someone is garbage. :(

I think it’s just an odd and/or poorly lit photo. He is *so* handsome and that’s not really evident here. The actress that plays Jasmine looks much younger than she does here, too. The actual movie stills are better. 

Aladdin is supposed to be hot and he looks like a gremlin. I AM SO UPSET

“Just wait for the live-action version of Bambi.”

Yeah, like... he and Jasmine are pretty obviously in their late teens in the cartoon. 30-year-old Aladdin makes no sense. 18-year-old street urchins with monkey friends are endearing; 30-year-old ones are just depressing.

James Monroe Iglehart is currently playing Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson in “Hamilton” on Broadway. He’s incredibly talented! 

Does Aladdin look... weirdly old? I always thought of him as early 20s, tops, and the Aladdin above looks like he’s fresh out of his second marriage and ready to mingle. :\

Much like the Trump presidency, it’s incredibly disheartening to me that people see this and think “yep!” I thought I was cynical but clearly I still have had too much faith in humanity.

At the least, Abu is cute.

To be fair, the original Aladdin animated film didn’t really correspond to any cultures besides “vaguely Arabic of undefined time period” (and the original folk tale was set in China(!), and may have just been made up by the French translator who published One Thousand and One Nights in the 18th century).

If you’re talking about James Monroe Iglehart, I agree! He was so great as the Genie (and hilarious as Coriolanus Burt on Kimmy Schmidt).

Can we ever mix this shit up - couldn’t they find a hilarious woman to play the genie? Or gender swap Aladdin and Jasmine? I know the point of remake after remake is that you don’t have to get creative, but, come on, get a little creative!

Did anybody ask for this movie? 

Nah, I’m sensing that he is quite the giver in the bedroom, lol.

Wait... Are people surprised by this? Because Momoa has always had “douche-bro jackass” written all over him. Like, another “charming big guy” I’ve always suspected being secretly like that is Dwayne Johnson, but he at least sell his “good guy” persona very well, to the point I’ve genuine uncertainty about it. Not…

When I hear actors tell these “behind-the-scenes endearing” stories that are actually terrible about their costars, I like to believe it’s purposeful and they’re finally taking their revenge with a smile, faking cluelessness with a morning talk show host.

Physical destruction of co-workers’ property is grounds for dismissal out in the real world.
