Alien was a perfect example. And George Lucas considered making Luke a girl.

“Creed” definitely deserved more Oscar noms, at least for Best Director. That movie is a gem to watch, especially the boxing scene which was done in one take really.

Agreed in entirety (I mean, except for the whole part where you work in the industry and I don’t). I don’t know why this idea persists that diversity can’t be profitable, when the truth is, most moviegoers literally won’t notice the difference, and those who do will appreciate it.

Yeah, there was absolutely some studio fuckery going on during the campaigning. Netflix was pushing hard, but they’re the one studio literally every other studio was willing to unite against. Netflix, to them, is a very real possibility of the end of movies as we know them. And that would be bad for the traditional…

I think, for me, one of the biggest missed opportunities for racial diversity in casting is getting everyone to change their idea of “normal” casting - changing the everyman (or to a lesser extent, every woman) to a person of any race. A ton of this has to do with who is writing the script (generally people write…

Calling your kids dad a cunt in a very public forum is a great way to make sure your kid can't stand you.

sounds like somebody needs a hug!! c’mere

“Because she has probably been aborted,”

“Because she has probably been aborted,” said Mother Teresa.

‘Gross in Real Life’ would have been a much better title for his book.

Either Lea Michelle has been replaced by a life-sized molded rubber action figure in a wig, or she needs to back WAY THE FUCK OFF on the makeup.

I have a friend who works/ed on this show. I’m “extremely proud” of her because she’s a pretty great person who doesn’t deserve to be out of work.

More like there’s a sub group of Bernie Bros who are incapable of handling even the slightest criticisms of Bernie and completely condescend to people who try to have an actual discussion about his stand.

I helped a friend who was in an abusive relationship move once while her SO was at work and didn’t know what was going on. He seemed like a total dipshit, and not capable of real violence... but there was still a tiny fear in the back of my head of him somehow figuring out what was going on, and coming home and…

I’m so sorry for what your friend is going through, but I am glad she has a friend who she feels she can talk to about this. I have experience with domestic violence/emotional/financial/everyotherkindof abuse in my personal and my professional lives (I have done outreach and harm reduction work with various…

There was a story around Christmastime that popped up on my FB feed about a man killing his ex and their children and then himself. I clicked on the story, and when I went back to FB, it offered me three more stories of men doing the murder-suicide to his partner/ex, two of them including offing the poor kids. All…

Damn.

This is incredibly heartbreaking, and terrifying. It’s scary how often this happens. When I finally broke up with my emotionally abusive ex-boyfriend, I was terrified he was going to come find me and hurt me for ending it. The abusive texts, and the constant cyber-stalking had me on edge. He’s been quiet for about a…

This article is really bringing up a lot of feelings. I dated a guy for 4 years who became increasingly controlling then crossed the line to physical violence. I was in college and managed to escape by going to a study abroad program. He would call me all the time while I was in Europe, getting increasingly scary…
