Yeah I mean! There is Donald Trump and Snooki and George Hamilton, damnit! You will no longer be invisible!

You forgot Johnny Depp. Or is he a pumpkin thing at this point?
Ya know, this sort of thinking is exactly why British actors of color feel as though they have to come to the US to even get work. This idea that “English” is equivalent to white is the problem, so that doesn’t even remotely excuse his lack of diversity, especially since he’s a nerd from Los Angeles County.
He’s okay with people of color... that color better just damned well be orange.
Also, hello, there WERE people of color in Victorian times, you numbnuts...
Especially for a movie whose premise is literally “children from around the world who are peculiar are gathered onto an island for their own protection”. I read the book and as far as I remember all the characters were described as white and European, but there’s zero reason that had to be the case.
Look, his imagination can only go so far. It can contain a pumpkin king, a headless horseman with a pumpkin head, some other pumpkin things, but that’s where he draws the line. Gourds and squash, yes. People of color, that’s a little too oddball.
Attitudes like this are so fucking disconnected from reality. I have never once watched a film or tv show and thought “huh, this was great, except it was a little too diverse.” I cannot for the life of me understand why directors wouldn’t want to cater to (or at least pay lip service to) the 37% of America that…
- Tim Burton, basically.
Oh, FUCK NO. You can’t even cast a diverse group of people in AN IMAGINARY WORLD?!!
They are both so sexually unappealing to me, I just don’t get it. Every time I look at Cumberbatch, all I can think is that aesthetically he would have made an excellent Voldemort.
I’m always left with the why. Why would someone want to live there? It seems more like a place to walk through (carefully, without touching anything) and be photographed (carefully, without touching anything) than where you sprawl out on the couch to watch House of Cards.
Here’s a great quote I found about it on tumblr:
Agree. She’s rich and privileged but doesn’t seem to be a raging asshole about it. I don’t think anyone believes she’s just like you and me, she doesn’t either, she just has to say that shit because it seems to make people less angry than if she just says she is who she is without apologies or attempts at populism to…
What is normal anyway? I spent a few years not long ago living in an apartment building in LA that was all studios and one bedrooms and probably 85% of those apartments housed 3 or more people. Some have whole families living in them. I know one place has that 5 actual beds and at least one trundle, and I they have an…
If you have that family net, it means nothing unless you are also personally wealthy (or taken care of by that said family). If you are taken care of by that family, then you are personally wealthy.

Yeah, I can’t get on board with this. If Kim Kardashian, who has an army of caretakers to look after her child and probably forgets the child’s name half the time, called herself just a normal mom, then yes, fuck her.
if you are not poor you are moming wrong.
