I think so, but it’s also to important to remember that it’s also a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation for minority actors, who probably would prefer that they could compete for roles without having to worry that they won’t get cast sometimes due to stereotype, and sometimes won’t get cast because someone…

She would have also been waaaaaaaay too young to be Catwoman opposite Christian Bale, even by Hollywood standards. Hathaway, 8 years younger than Bale, seemed like a peer. Kravitz 14 years younger and only 23 at the time would have been off.

“Whoever decided to not go with Kravitz because she’s a woman of color is probably kicking themselves now, because there’s been plenty of positive chatter from fans about Kravitz taking on the role.”

Ah ha, the enemy of my enemy.

I’m still waiting for season two of MILF Island.

No, he wouldn’t be required to do a deposition or testify at trial. But given the type of allegations (that she defamed him when talking about him abusing her), per which he will need to show that she was lying about him abusing her, and that such “domestic abuse” allegations often turn into “he said, she said”, its…

It is truly laughable. As if EPIC swooped and forced Bandcamp to sell...

One time, at bandcamp...

So people don’t really mean it when they say “it’s an honor just to be nominated”?

Hookers?

Gabrielle for me. 

Wonder if they’ll do an episode where their contract negotiations fail.

I’ll let them know to pack it up and move on.

You could have made the same argument against the sanctions against Apartheid South Africa. It’s important that ordinary Russians see that their leader has made them a pariah. They are just not going to get that from Russian state media.
