I thought everyone knew that rich people just basically started non-profits as a way to commit tax fraud?

Well we commonly forget that Cleopatra was...what, 14 or 15 during the time the film is supposed to take place? She died fairly young I believe. Either way, I'd still vote for Angie, but J-Law is a great plan B.

I thought it wasn't a remake, but instead the book, by Stacy Schiff (researched book).

Ooooh! See, I was, like you, drooling for the Cleopatra remake starring Angelina—but then I heard rumors ("my LA friends") that she's been replaced in talks by none other than Jennifer Lawrence. I think that is a great alternative. Now someone make this thing.

Cleopatra remake, really? That would be phenomenal with Angelina Jolie. *crosses fingers*

This is the same reason I don't say actress. Its the same gig for men and women.We don't say blactor, do we?

The original comments I pointed to were suggesting that the film was a purely American endeavour that had been misunderstood by the simple-minded ignorance of 'Europeans', (Europeans being used indiscriminately and sweepingly). The irony was that the director himself was British and it highlighted the commenters' own…

The metric system America, it's useful and sensible and the rest of the planet uses it. Just a suggestion.

Since ambitious has discovered the "dismiss" button, I'll wish her good luck as well and assure her that she should continue to generalise about racism in Europe, as that will assuredly go over well if she visits any other European countries.

I know. like when all those Gawker/Jez commenters were going on about how racist ALL OF EUROPE was because of those 12 years a slave posters that featured Brad Pitt, completely ignoring the fact that the director of the film is British and the lead character was played by a Brit. Europe is just one big onion and…

I'm an American, so you can cut the feigned defensiveness. The fact that you are comfortable referring to Europe as the EU and vice versa is the first indication of your seeming ignorance regarding non-US geography and history (you might also Google "History of the EU", since you seem to think it organically…

...the major problem with your analogy being that the US is a single country whereas Europe/the E.U. (not interchangeable terms, fyi) is comprised of a slew of countries with hundreds of years of history, language and culture which do in fact make generalizing about them as a whole quite a bit different than…

No way those kids were sober that night. Either Madonna let them drink on the down low, or they sneakily had some shots behind closed doors somewhere. But as far as the actual photo goes, I can't help but clutch my pearls. Kids will look at this and think this shit is cool when a) it's not that cool. Drinking is…

What does Morrissey think that meat eaters do to the meat exactly again?

I am taking offense because you ASSUMED information, about someone you have never met, that you have not been GIVEN. Assuming things is a logical error. Do not do it. Ever.

Scarlett is displeased.

I'm not quite sure what you mean about us "needing [our] own shit". Sure, being biracial is a bit different from being black, but not necessarily in the ways you've talked about.

PICS, where are the pics.

My mum's in her sixties and she went to school (in Australia) with kids who had had polio. It wasn't exactly common but nor was it terribly unusual to see kids in calipers or to hear of someone having to go in an iron lung. My dad saw it more often in northern England growing up there. Neither of them can comprehend…
