Yeah, as good as the Bechdel test is, I’m a bigger fan of the sexy lamp test for exactly the reason you state.

You always see plenty of signs in English at protests here in the Netherlands: these days people assume a global audience when expressing their opinion in public. I’d presume it’s the same in Germany.

Also, rape in German is Vergewaltigung, and refugee is Flüchtling - Vergewaltigungsflüchtling is not quite as catchy…

I love him as Captain Cold! He’s so over the top and totally steals all of the scenes.

I think we’re the same person, only replace Puerto Rico with India.

OK, so by 2001 Jackson had transformed himself on the outside into a white man with the face of Elizabeth Taylor. Jackson’s relationship with his own skin was...COMPLICATED.

I find it strange everyone levels so much well-deserved hate at Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, but we’re supposed to give a fuck about Michael Jackson. Fuck Michael Jackson.

So white actress, then?

Were there Asian and Latino winners as well? Diversity isn’t just white/black. (I believe there are some Latinos on OITNB but I’m not sure because I don’t watch it. Not sure about Asians?)

If I were a *skeptical* fellow, I’d make a few guesses as to why there was such a landslide...

Last night Sarandon was nominated for a SAG for her performance in The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe;

Bizarre, isn’t it? Even if the music and show for Hamilton weren’t great (which they pretty firmly are, if not to everyone’s tastes), it would be incredibly worthwhile for just how democratizing it is, both in terms of American history and in terms of musical theatre.

And he was devoted to Peggy, his mum. Having a decent family was clearly very important and he waited to marry again, when it really meant something.…

I LOVED them growing up so I thought my 8 year old would also. I got her a subscription and she is into it but not as much as I had hoped. Regardless, the TV show is an awful idea. Remember the cartoon? Pretty rough. Although, I think who ever the makeup artist for Nanny McPhee must be hired immediately because she…

It’s disrespectful, but if she didn’t legally change her name, I think the police are required to state it as such. At best they would say Monica was an alias. The pronouns should have been changed however. .

I don’t understand this.

The 100 has navigated this pretty handily by turning the drama outwards. Less interpersonal and more huge life altering political events, it's shockingly good sci-fi.

I am SO okay with this. I was obsessed with Archie as a kid. I started and Archie club on my school bus and made other kids pass a quiz about Archie books before they could sit with us.

(How dare you make an error. lol) I chose to focus on what you said, and yes, he had a wonderful smile.

Darkness and weirdness eh? Are they going with the Afterlife series?

According to the timestamps I’m seeing, you said “well you shouldn’t because its offensive and you should be offended by other people taking your culture and profiting off it” several hours after they said they were Puerto Rican.....
