There’s a girl scientist in it so its already politically radical in the US.

You sound stupid.

So Marvel “appropriated” the King Fu movie without understanding the deep meaning that spin kicks and wire work have in Asian culture.

Blah Blah Blah, I don’t understand legal nomenclature, Blah, Blah, Blah, misses point, misses concept of inherited and deprecated rights, Blah, Blah, Blah, embraces the ever backward logic of “this deserves these things more than this thing so we shoudn’t do anything”.

You make her out to be the villain, but why the fuck should M&Ms care what she wants on her candy if she’s a paying customer? It’s a little different than a municipality deciding what you can’t put on a license plate...

I’m also confused about why “appropriation” is a bad thing. The USA is built on appropriation. We take the best of whatever we see and integrate it into our culture... like the Borg! Wait... forget that last part...

They still have de-gaying camps. Probably the same type of person that would send away their “sick” daughters and fool absolutely nobody.

Wow...further proof that those who run Facebook are simply complete assholes. BBC should have reported Facebook for receiving child porn just to stick it to them. Technically Facebook did ask for the pictures, which is *also* illegal. Just wow...

The only problem is this mistaken and culturally-poisonous viewpoint that someone needs to look the same as you do in order or identify with them.

freedom of speech sometimes comes with consequences, my good bitch.

The Katy Perry comment doesn’t make her look like kind of an asshole, it makes her look like a completely ignorant, bullying asshole.

I am sure Trudeau wishes he could be hanging out on Richard Branson’s island with Obama instead of guest starring on the Political Apprentice.

Let me raise a voice here for what is truly the pinnacle of SF filmmaking, 2001 A Space Oddyssey. It was all practical effects, what with the hundreds of little 16mm films running behind all those display screens, and the immensely complex rotating Discovery set. Blade Runner is great, but the vast sweep of 2001 far…

Minogue’s attorneys also described Jenner as “a secondary reality television personality,”

and could cruise underwater at speeds reaching 20 mph (39 km/h).

2001? Nah.. I’m thinking they have a Lego fan
