It’s like all those films about Jesus being played by white blue-eyed guy. Omar Sharif in his prime would be the choice and he could make this film, which is likely to be a mess of superficial Western assumptions about Orient, watchable. Unfortunately, I can only dream.

Persian. Rumi was of Persian / Turkish origin. And anyway, the film would be shit if Rumi is going to be interpreted through the typical lenses of Western Orientalism. I love Rumi’s poetry and this news looks like another chance to exploit Eastern culture, history and traditions. Would be great if the film was…

How can anyone savor House of Cards? Netflix doesn’t get much better than that.

As an external observer from the UK, I am a bit worried about her foreign policy (Iraq War). That said, if she’s a president (and I refuse to imagine the alternative...) I am really looking forward to having all those mysogynistic idiots in Saudi Arabia, and other countries having to deal with her and respect her at…

Fyodor, is that you?

Three months are a short period in jail for what he committed, but hopefully long enough for him to experience ‘20 minutes of action’ on his own skin. Unfortunately for this retarded humankind, karma is the best teacher and typically, she needs to give repeated lessons.

Lol when did I try to do that? By calling attention to the fact that huge numbers of sex workers are exploited, trafficked and downright forced to prostitution? Thanks for denying sex slaves their agency and for totally overlooking their plight, so that a small number of sex workers can have a good business case and…

With her naked body. How original and empowering!

Well, from another perspective, the gorilla can rest in peace now instead of having to be the caged source of entertainment for the masses. It’s probably better destiny than other animals in zoos have.

did they talk to those millions of trafficked sex slaves though? Because I guess, those might be of different opinion with regards to Nordic model.

you talk about his stance, as if it was wholly dismissed by international experts, but the truth is, it isn’t. Plenty of people support the Scandinavian model, and you can burn me - I’m one of them.

yes, for both women AND men. The second part of this statement is always missing when reading about biological clock. It ticks for all of us, but I don’t see people telling men in their 30's and over: ‘Hurry up, tick tock, you don’t wanna put if off for too much longer!’

I have lots of stuff in my cosmetic box, most of which gets used from time to time. I’ve stopped wearing full-coverage make-up recently and only use mineral powder + concealer on the occasional spot. It saves me about 15 min a day and the feeling of freedom is awesome. My skin can actually breathe now. If I want to…

it looks like something out of David Lynch’s film. A bizarre creepy kitch.

actually, it seems like at the moment it is exactly them who are doing something about it, by talking about it publicly, raising the issue and demanding an equal pay. Rich and lucky as they are, they could just shut up about it, accept the status quo, not rock the boat.
