Wait, isn’t Harry Shum Costa Rican American? If Mulan should be of Chinese descent, shouldn’t Shang?

The way Mulan checks him out is my fav thing about that movie. They literally drew the scene so that you can’t even see his head. It is just her checking out his chest and abs as he walks by.

Not to mention there are tensions between China and Korea, especially regarding media creation and consumption. Though I suppose having it produced by a US company might lessen the issues involved with that. Still, I’d personally prefer a Chinese actress in the role. There are enough talented Chinese and Chinese…

IDK, China already has a few different live action Mulan movies and two Mulan drama series (of varying quality and adherence to the legend), though they are probably meant for an older audience than Disney will aim for. And they are definitely missing that special Disney MAGIC. I mean, for ME, there is greater…

Yes, Mulan runs off as a teen. The actual legend has her at war for 12 years. So not a teen when she returns home!

Omo! She does look like a 70s Cher!

Or that it makes some naive, impressionable kid (or adult) think that celebrities really do look like that through no effort --and what are they doing wrong that they can’t look that nice without makeup?

I LOVED My Boys. They doled out the best punishments between friends. The episode about the all you can eat meat place, as all those Brazillian steak places were openinng up everywhere was fabulous. “Meat baby” indeed.

Chicago: Land of the Mole People. Especially if you work downtown, take the subway and and then walk the pedway to work. Nary a glimpse of the sun...

Yes. Lived 8 years in a neighborhood that was predominetly Polish & Hispanic. The sheer number of little old ladies outside with their brooms! Why have other outdoor tools when you have a broom? Yard full of leaves? Sweep ‘em with your broom. Sidewalk full of snow? Swipe it with your broom. Dog poop some rotten…

I want to lay under a pile of them. I want to be covered in floofs. Please bring floofs to play at my house. I have tuna.

You are frightfully good at his cadence.

I’ve got to say it is one of the things that makes watching Kdramas so interesting for me - the men are most def the objects of desire. From camera work to the writing. Sure, the women are acknowledged to be beautiful, but far more time is spent showing off the men’s beauty - and that is across ALL genres scripted…

It is tragic how often I use Anita Blake as an example of a good series gone bad. I mean I have no issue with all the sex in the Meredith series because that series is pretty much ABOUT sex. I had hoped that once she started writing that series as an outlet for her crazy sex fantasies maybe AB would get back on track…

Yes, I wanted to get married because I wanted us to become our own family (even before we had kids). I didn’t want a roommate I had sex with and shared responsibilities with, I wanted a new family. I understand not everyone needs marriage to feel those things, but to me that is what marriage is.

And you avoided getting married again because of what you “feel” about marriage. I’m not sure why your feelings about marriage are more valid than hers? Obviously her boyfriend was willing to propose. It is possible, if given more time, the writer would have compromised. It is easy when two people feel the same, and…

My now husband of 12 years would never have gotten around to proposing, or might just be starting to think about it right about now, if I hadn’t given him a timeline I was willing to accept. Marriage wasn’t important to him and he was happy how we were and would have kept just being happy not changing anything. That…

Mine was handsome from the get-go, thank you emergency c-section! A well shaped head, topped with a full head of dark hair, and the darkest brown eyes. He is still gorgeous, actually. (He’s so good looking I have to ask people to stop telling him how cute he is, because yeesh, what if he eventually gets ugly? And he’s…

But Arianna enuciates for shit.

I hugged someone at work just today actually. A co-worker found out that she was going to have to put her mother in a home. She looked sad. I asked if she wanted a hug. She said yes. We hugged. We aren’t close, at all, but sometimes we just need comfort.
