It's from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Chronicles, which had a lot of concept art and explained how the movie was made.

So on my facebook recently some old acquaintances from high school have been posting this ....meme I guess?....That says "When I was little my parents spanked me, now I have this crazy thing called respect from others!" And then they get a ton of likes. Of the three or four people who have posted this, they have all…

This just makes me want to hug my child extra. Oh, you just wait, kiddo, because when I come to pick you up after school YOU ARE GETTING SO HUGGED IT'S GOING TO BE RIDICULOUS.

When my mom was little car seats didn't exist and she turned out just fine. I suggest that we ban all car seats forever!!

Maybe consider it from this angle and you'll see the problem - Cis women are not the only people wearing women's clothes. Trans women wear women's clothes, too. And vice versa - mens wear is not only worn by cis men. It's also worn by trans men.

I am sorry about what happened to you, but thank you for sharing your comment!! I really appreciate it! I agree completely, sharing an experience is brave and I think our first reaction should be compassion not quick to criticize her. I never been sexually assaulted so I have no idea what it must be like to share that…

Yet another case of "Something must be everything or else it is nothing," huh? I appreciated his thoughtful response.

I love Gunn, but he is dead wrong on this.

Thank you for your post, I know Black women (and a man) who were sexual assaulted more than once, they don't identify with the victim title. I believe White women do because they been taught they are pure and deserving of protection (compared to Black women) so they identify as a victim. Even as children, Blacks are…

I feel like I immediately went there because to me, the face of "victimhood" is a white woman. A ton of Lifetime movies and news coverage of missing white women probably doesn't help. It's pretty fucked that factually black women have a higher ratio of violent crime against them, but I don't really think of us as…

Well, the psychology of victimhood is really complex. For some people, being loved and supported can be very uncomfortable. My sister, for example, really didn't want to tell our mother when she was assaulted precisely because she was afraid of being given a lot of attention when she just wanted to disappear. I see…

it's her experience. funny how so many people here constantly bitch about how quick people are to blame victims for not acting how they're supposed to act after a rape, and then those same people turn around and start blaming victims for not having the 'right' kind of narrative when recounting their experiences...…

thank you for having a balanced perspective.

I dislike that her rumored bad attitude is being used to dismiss her feelings on her own rape. Also, not to be that black girl, but her comments on not being raised to
be coddled, and being raised to stand on her own two feet have a lot to do with how black women are raised to be survivors of all sorts of abuse and…

I want to be different, like everybody else I want to be like
I want to be just like all the different people
I have no further interest in being the same,
because I have seen difference all around,

and now I know that that's what I want
I don't want to blend in and be indistinguishable,
I want to be a part of the different…

I know I'm still a little out of it due to all of the tequila from last night, but a lot of what I just read did not make sense.

One of Austin's local papers, The Daily, has a good report on the initial incident. And they DID assault her-when she didn't stop, an officer grabbed her, which is what lead to the resisting. There was no reason to touch her. (If they can't run fast enough to get ahead of a jogger, they shouldn't be on beat.) I'm…
