Actually it was made with American money by an American production studio in English with a goal of being a crossover hit both in China and in the US.

That’s what happens when you put a trailer out. People critique it.

No good person could be best friends with Ben Affleck.

Gee Matt, between this and your comments on diversity I’m starting to think you might be a douche.

Well, post-war Western Europe has long had a slightly different take on freedom of religion than the US. Whereas, in the US, the emphasis is more on the freedom to practice your religion without government interference, in many European countries (most notably, France) the emphasis is more on promoting secularism and…

True, but why do we always hold the women responsible for these decisions? This law does not target men to be persuaded to feminism, it targets women to be scorned and humiliated in public.

Choosing a burqa during puberty is not a choice to me. Teenagers are not adults in the US or in Germany or in France. Most teenagers are still living in their parents home, so I’m not even sure this can legitimately be considered a choice/free-will. I’m also an atheist. I also believe in women’s rights, and believe…

Is it bad that I’m ok with this as a pragmatist? I don’t think she’s serious and is merely saying it to win her campaign. Considering the stakes (she’s the last non-far right leader standing in the western world), do what you have to do.

I can’t be upset about this because I think the burqa and the niqab should not exist. If a man can’t handle looking at even a woman’s face, he has issues. My understanding: A burqa covers the entire body, head to toe, with a small mesh panel for a woman to see. A niqab covers everything but the eyes. Strangely, I…

I’m sorry, but this editorializes too much for me. A burqa ban is not at all like a ban on the burkini. The ban on the burkini limits a muslim woman’s ability to integrate with society and enjoy nature (a huge part of french culture and the human experience generally). A burqa ban goes after a practice that increases…

“So happy” till he learns the secret that his light up dinosaur shoes are tacky and he cannot wear them.

Jesus Christ, this is what happens when you become too rich for people to tell you that you’re a tedious asshole.

“...it’s unlikely 50 Cent will see any of that award, as most of it will go toward satisfying the $23 million bankruptcy settlement he agreed to in July, pending approval, Forbes reports.”

I wish men could have a period. Just once. The full-on, full-body-and-mind week-long experience. It would be glorious and they would never fuck with us again.

Tom is my nemesis just based on the fact he won’t let his damn 4-year-old wear the cool light up dinosaur shoes. Let the kid live! I want light up dinosaur shoes! Just make some silly high-fashion ones and we can all be happy, okay, Tom?

It’s such a vulnerable position to be in, and it’s such a passive position to be in.

Well not for nothing, for SCIENCE!

“Ford says his 4-year-old son Jack is “so happy” because he hasn’t learned “the secret.” And that secret, he says, “is that he’s going to die.”

are you telling me I stuck all that stuff up my bum for nothing?

Damnit.
