Yeah we just barely made it out of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and that was with a White House full of (mostly) sane and competent people. Shit is different now. Rich white people do have almost all of the power but the fact is we can’t guarantee there will always be a responsible, level-headed adult in the right place…

Awesome! That movie was the one good thing that’s happened within the last year.

Pretty sure he’s in the black on his own.

It really depends on where you are in the world. In the United States, putting a photo on your resume will just make people laugh at you. Other countries, it’s required.

Honestly, I’d hire that person. That shit’s adorable.

Absolutely. In the US anyway, your photo does not belong on your resume unless you’re a model or performer (actor, singer, etc.), and even then you probably have a portfolio with headshots and a separate resume.

The sad part is he’s not a troll, he’s a regular reader. I’ve seen him around here for years.

The thing that’s getting me about this is this dude has been a Jez commenter for almost as long as I have - close to ten years. He should fucking know better.

Most people, when they are sexually assaulted, go into “freeze” mode. It might take hours before someone is able to process what happened to the point that they’re able to do something about it. In the meantime, to protect itself, your brain tries to just carry on as normal - so, in this case, posing for the photo,…

I’m not saying it’s not a significant age difference, but “when that old, wrinkled penis comes a-poking”? Like, really? Just saying he’s hardly ancient.

Everything in reality tv is highly scripted and controlled. And if you want to talk about the Kardashians, they control every bit of what people see on that show. There is no comparison here to the way Jennifer had her privacy invaded. 

Jennifer Lawrence gets work on the strength of her own name, she’s hardly a newcomer.

You know he’s gonna hook up with Jennifer Lawrence and end up having like two kids with her. Poor Anna Faris.

That is great news. Hopefully the show at least will give us a good adaptation.

Is it still confirmed that the show is going to be made? I’m afraid when this movie tanks (as it almost certainly will - I mean I’m going to see it tonight but I fully expect it will suck), the show will evaporate.

We all did :(

Idris Elba was definitely the best fit for the part. He is everything that Roland is - strong, deadly, brave as fuck, an intimidating badass, but still with emotional range. Anybody who saw him in Pacific Rim should be able to see that in a second. The part went to the best actor, period.

If Roland can be black (which, I’m a huge fan of the books, and he can, it’s totally canon), then any other character can be, too. If Idris Elba is seriously the only black person in this movie that’s fucked up.

I literally know a Blake, a Chad and a Darren that fit this description. Also a Robbie.

People who don’t know me or who forget my name have been calling me “Amanda” for basically my whole life. Like even if there were no Amandas in our class, so there was noone they could be confusing me for, I’d get called Amanda.
