Sepp Blatter resigns as President of an organization too corrupt to have voted them out when they had the chance like a day ago.
I’m sorry, are we not supposed to be sleeping with our friends?
Right? I came to the comments to write that 1. It is most definitely hard to make friends as an adult woman (especially if you don’t have kids). and 2. Mindy Kaling has always activated my “seems like an asshole” radar, so it’s probably extra hard for her. I want to like her, but the more I know about her the harder…
It is ridiculously hard to make friends as an adult, especially for introverts. I have to be around someone so many times before I’m really comfortable, but of course by then they’ve decided I’m an aloof bitch.
Nothing changes in Hollywood. Lena Horne campaigned for the lead in the film Pinky, a role where the character was a light skinned black woman. But it went to a white actress instead. And this crap is still happening.
because white people aren’t 6.6% of the demographics coming out of hollywood. additionally, rue was not recast as someone black, she was black in the books. louis ck’s wife isn’t being cast as someone not black, angelina jolie in salt proved that the film worked regardless of gender.
What gets me is that this is an original screenplay by Cameron Crowe, right? If he wanted to, he could just make the character white! It’s not like there are fans of the original source material who will notice something, so just name her Allison Smith. It’s not like there’s anything in “Hula dancing expert with a…
Yup, there are literally none. Had to be Emma Stone. Just like Tiger Lily had to be played by Rooney Mara in Pan and Joel Edgerton had to be Ramses in Exodus. God, those casting people have it rough, eh?
For everyone commenting with anecdotes about their Hapa friends/relatives/dog walkers/random persons: NOT THE FUCKING POINT.
Please correct me if I’m blaming the wrong person or if I’m wrong, but- I feel like, if I was an actor, and I was presented with a script and my character was written as non-white and they’re trying to give my lily-white ass the role, then I have a duty to be like “dude no, I can’t in good conscience when there’s…
The question isn’t really whether it happens, though. The question is why are we so happy to say “oh, this could happen, totally plausible” when a demographic that is under-represented in film continues to be under-represented while there’s a really great opportunity to have that not be the case. Why are white people…
You guys, it's just SO HARD to find Asian actresses? It's not our fault that acting doesn't seem like a viable career choice for POC, so we perpetuate a system where the laziest, easiest option is to just hire another white face. SO HARD.
She is also part Hawaiian, which I think (since it was used in the same line as describing her as a quarter Chinese) is supposed to mean ethnically, and most Hawaiian people are not as white-looking as Emma Stone because they’re Polynesian/PI. Genetics are freaky, yeah, but I don’t think Hollywood needs anyone to play…
My favourite part of the feedback to all this is all the white people going, ‘It’s just a movie, it’s just acting why do you care’, but God forbid you cast a fictional superhero of another race, then it’s not ‘realistic’. Over it.
Oh god, it’s happening.
Too many Kardashians, you guys. Too fucking many. I love eavesdropping on the lives of these vapid, idiotic, generally boring people as much as the next person, but for fucks sake. I think its time we have a one Kardashian per Dirt Bag rule.
