It's crazy, sarky snark aside. I am really bummed about Peggy Nash and Megan Leslie.

I was not under the impression that NDP would win over Liberals. I just wish that people who generally would want to vote for NDP did not for fear of “giving a vote to the Cons” and thereby costing NDP some seats.

I just wanted MORE NDP involvement.

The fact that NDPs seats went down DRASTICALLY from last election makes me sad. You’re correct in the strategic voting theory. I fuckin hated the whole “it doesnt matter who you vote for, just vote!”

YES IT DOES MATTER WHO YOU FUCKING VOTE FOR, YOU WALNUTS.

My seething rage is calmed only by the fact that I am proud of…

Not noted, but this election was an unprecedented victory for the Liberals in canada’s history. Only on 4 occasions has a majority Canadian government been ousted in such a way, and all but one had to do with a bad economy at the time. Yesterday was a serious case of Canada being absolutely sick of Stephen Harper. The…

The film sounds as amazing as the book. When I read the book I was at Disney World, and even though I felt the subject matter wasn’t appropriate for the Happiest Place on Earth, I could not stop reading. I’ve since read books by Jaycee Duggard and Amanda Berry and Gina de Jesus, and Room’s author really nailed the…

RIGHT? How can you be a witness to the way he treats women, and then think “You know what? I want to have his baby.”

Exactly!! Ughhhh

“Word on the street is I’m not his favorite person.”

it’s just pastiche without any weight behind it.

He’s just basically exploiting some of humanity’s bleakest tragedies and playing it up with some cool shots and witty banter, without considering the moral complexities of the tragedy.

Wow, just the multiple levels of entitlement at play here is amazing. Filmmaker being “oppressed” by a critic? Cry me a fucking river. The privilege of making and putting out your art goes hand in hand with criticism. Successful artists who whine about critics or the content of the criticism are the worst. Criticism…

Haha it’s all me! I love Emily most of all so was originally Ellis Bell, but sadly lost that key and didn’t realize until yesterday that you can change your “shown username” without changing your account. So I’m back to being Ellis. Currer is dead (sorry, Char).

Absolutely agreed.

It’s too bad there’s only room in the world for one young likable actress at a time.

I'm actually doing ok, all things considered. But I know I'm lucky, especially for a trans woman.

21 more than it should be.

No, no. Not like this. Not like this.

As hard as it is to read about this, please keep posting about it. There must be more awareness, and the mainstream media needs to be forced to talk about it.

Must my countrymen (and women) forever demonstrate loudly and publicly that they understand jack shit about world history? Not everything can or should be seen in U.S.-centric terms.

If this were a film about American history, that would be utterly valid. Brits at the time would probably associate the word “rebel” more with Irish Free Staters than any kind of American.
