Keep hoping for that breast cancer relapse to happen any day now.

The Fox people won’t allow her to wear her hood on air. “Hides her blondness too much.”

I feel him, you cannot choose the hyper-religious, misogynistic, bigoted, racist ass family you are born into.

“We’ve been estranged”... that’s the most white, WASPy-est, chicken shit way of saying “My brother successfully Michael Bluthed his way outta the family after the pilot episode.”

“We’ve been estranged from my brother for years. Ever since he started spouting all this insane nonsense like ‘brown people deserve basic human rights’ and ‘the holocaust was bad, actually’ we’ve been unable to countenance his presence at family gatherings. A true shame.”

If they’re changing Superman they need to also change Lex Luthor. Get rid of the twitchy Mark Zuckerberg convict and replace him with a belligerent CEO turned Presidential nominee running on an ‘anti-(illegal) alien’ platform.

In Hitman #34, Garth Ennis actually talks about the idea of Superman as the ultimate immigrant.

To me the problem with his “Superman” was that he wasn’t really a character. He was just a blank slate that other characters projected their philosophies on while he stared blankly at them. We don’t get much on his own opinions, likes, or even dislikes.

I’m sure the response to the possibility of a black Superman will be totally reasonable and measured... Remind me not to go on reddit for a while.

Jordan would do a good job if those reports are true, but I would have gone with a Latino or Middle Eastern actor for Superman. I think that Superman’s story has always been the story of an immigrant who was welcomed to America by its most loving people, and who repaid that love by becoming our greatest champion. I

I’ve never been thrilled about Cavill as Superman (or - um, Superman in general). But I’ve liked Cavill in many other roles. In my perfect world this would free him up for Man from UNCLE sequels, and also people would want to see them.  (Seriously - it was a great movie and everyone should know that.)

And it’ll be especially awkward writing Superman out of the films when the old “I have to go now, my planet needs me” excuse isn’t possible.

Exactly this. Alcohol makes someone think their dumb stories are hilarious and witty, it doesn’t suddenly make someone’s brain go “yep, it’s okay to grab this stranger’s ass”.

Talk about a blatant appeal to “bros before hos”. So gross, and I’m glad there are dudes who won’t collaborate out there.

‘What if she’s lying, bro?’

Because it’s probably not their defining characteristic as a people. We have incestuous people who will eat fried butter, but it would be offensive to visit a Canadian and be told “Hey, if you’re hungry I can drop some Land O Lakes in the fryer, you cousin fucker.”

I read The Help and wanted to know more about the working women and their perspectives. The Help’s author referenced Telling Memories Among Southern Women by Susan Tucker, so I got a copy.

I hope Marky Mark realizes his life wouldn't be possible without a fuckton of hired help.
