Fan campaign?

Oh yes, when she said to Tara, "You may beat me up sometimes, but I still like talking to you" my heart broke into a million pieces of glitter gooiness.

"Bill hits Jessica. Bill sucks forever."

I....I honestly don't know what you could possibly say to defend using "beast-man" to refer to a black man. There is really nothing anyone could say that would erase that blotch from my opinion of a person.

No one is calling for her to stop publishing it herself, but from having now read the first chapter available for free online for myself, it is an offensive piece of work, not just for her labels of the races but for her undignified, privileged and ultimately impotent examination of racial discrimination. It belittles

Whoa whoa whoa. She says she was once called a racial slur because someone thought she was black, and she takes away from this experience that....white people can be discriminated against too? So, instead of thinking about all the little black girls who've had racial slurs thrown at them since they were tiny, she

......she may also just be a poor writer. She may actually have thought what she was doing was sympathetic to oppressed minority races, but her concept is so terrible that it does the exact opposite.

OH my god, that is the most ham-fisted defense I have ever read! Seriously,WTH?! If you want to make a statement about the horrors of racism, why not use characters who actually suffer racism on a daily basis IRL? This whole "flip-side of racism" schtick sounds like pandering, and it also feels like an even more

Yea, exactly. I looooved the Scouring of the Shire, it's one of the chapters I read over and over again and was heartbroken when he didn't include it. So I'm a bit peeved to hear that although Jackson cut Bombadil AND Scouring out of all existence, (HELLO, PJ?! You could have just filmed it for us die-hards, and put

I don't know. I think it depends on how someone teaches themselves, because you can almost create an environment of immersion in your own home if you care to. For instance, I started learning Hindi when I was already 23. Admittedly, I took an intensive course over the summer at a university, but to keep up with it in

I love that too. It's Hobbit Epic Procrastination levels as well. You get a sense of how much they really really don't like to leave their sphere of safety behind.

Now playing

It worked absolutely splendidly for Jersey Shore.

I would read an entire adaptation of LOTR in an Oscar Wilde voice. The already present sexual tension between Sam and Frodo could use some biting wit.

Whoa. And just like that, I accept this casting with no reservations whatsoever.

Oh man, Atia was possibly my all time favorite. Those eyebrows of hers.

Or it was named after an Ikea line of furniture.

One of Ranbir Kapoor's best performances, by far.

"Society of Sikh Supporting Characters"

I don't know what this says about me, but my lucky numbers have always been 4 or a multiple of 4 up to 16. My birthday is 8/12 and every number that was assigned to me when I was a child in class (probably done by alphabetical order) was either 8 or 4. I also had these numbers for whatever team sport I played, so

I think it's more that she was in a highly publicized relationship with Robert Pattinson and her cheating on him that got everyone in a tizzy because it was TWOO WUV or something. It had little to do with the director's relationship status.
