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.

he likes his cast to have big eyes and no melanin. he should just be like, “i like people who look like porcelain dolls or freshly dead because that’s my aesthetic, and that’s usually white people. i like the way white people look. white people!!!”

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…

I LOVE the picture the Times used in their endorsement story of her on their site yesterday. I haven’t seen it in print - haven’t been out of bed to open my paper yet. But it was a gorgeous picture, just right. She looked beautiful but presidential. More like this and that, yes.

The first 6,000 times I heard “Blank Space” I thought she said “Starbucks lovers” too, Jared. I feel ya. (Also why didn’t he sue the guy who made the tape and sold it???) 

Requiem for a Dweeb

I live in Bellingham, which is about 20-25 minutes away from this so I’ve been watching the news. A picture has been released of him - he’s wearing black, not grey. Three women are dead (they think two in their mid 20s and one elderly) - one man is at Harborview in Seattle with life threatening injuries - another…
