And now that the US is dominating, Americans are wringing their hands over the rule. Do you suggest we change it?

We can run in circles arguing about this, but you see it one way, I see it as self-centered and simply do not understand the macho medal count BS that has taken over the games. Stop being poisoned by NBC.

The point of The Olympics is also about highlighting countries from all around the world and their accomplishments (this isn’t a new ‘prizes for everyone’ idea. Last time I checked there were five Olympic Rings). These rules were put in place because of global inequality and the fact that for the most part, being born…

Yes! Thank you! It’s totally self centered that we can’t deal with only two US athletes on the podium even though the US has been dominating almost to a boring extent.

Medal counts and all that bullshit have ruined The Olympics. It’s one thing to have the most extraordinary athelete the sport has ever seen dominate…

Clever! So relevant!

I’m obsessed with her beautiful alien/model (I mean this in the best way possible) face.

It’s not. I had to wait until 8 to see it too. I mean, I knew they would win, but I thought you guys would wait until the broadcast to announce it.

MODERATORS CAN WE CENSOR THIS? Who approved this without blurring? We have no idea (or at least, I don’t) who this poor unknown girl is. I feel like I just violated someone. Thanks.

OK I guess we should give her a pass because she is a woman.

“An ex-boyfriend of mine used to call me ‘Moscow,’ because he said I was always looking out the window sadly, like ‘Moscow,’ like some Russian novel or Chekhov play.”

Loved him in that movie! He had so many great performances left in him.

I mean, wouldn’t he have been the perfect Nikolai Rostov in my make believe HBO War and Peace adaptation that isn’t actually a thing?

Point is, he was great and could have dug into so many great roles given the chance.

Not to mention that this is such a fucking insult to the physically disabled.

Wow. You know everything about profit margins and pricing.

This probably won’t even register since I’m commenting so long after the article went up, but I knew Sarma really well and to see all this happen is totally bizarre. There is a huge piece of the puzzle missing and it definitely has to do with her husband, whom everyone hated from day 1.

It just doesn’t compute...she…

I hated this book so much that when I had 30 pages left, I said, “You know what? Fuck you,” and never finished it. No regrets.

It was so bad.

And about 500 of those pages were Jude thinking about how much he hates himself.

It was gross how all this torture porn was set up to make Jude this unbearable saint that became a burden to every person around him.
Children of extreme abuse are still textured individuals! I don’t think I learned anything about Jude except his extreme hatred for himself (repeated on every other page), and that he…

Please keep posting on this with the same writing tone. I find this immensely pleasurable as I’m a vegan in LA and I get extremely irritated by most vegans. This two-part (more please?) series has been very cathartic.

Still waiting for the day when someone makes a great series/movie about ballet. The Red Shoes and The Turning Point are still the only ones that capture it.

Black Swan was horrible. Flesh & Bone was dogshit. Center Stage was what it was. The people in this trailer would be laughed at in an audition.

I am the owner of a popular vegan establishment (sounds ‘ew’ when I type it sry sry), and we get dickhead vegans like this in our store ALL the time. We use honey as one of our sweeteners, and we always get vegans coming in and making a vocal scene about how DARE we call ourselves vegan etc etc. We (and Cafe Gratitude…

Thanks so much for the info! I guess it sounds much better coming from Angelou than my mouth when I recommend it to people :)
