Woah, Sia is an adorable wizard. I love this.

I liked 1980 when we dressed like ranchers.

Well considering most countries look like they are sending a bunch of flight attendants to the Olympics, I think these look nice.

Not everything that a woman does that's remotely sexual has to be about sexual confidence or whatever. I'm not sure where you got this idea that men are terrified of and sexual situation that they didn't dictate/initiate, but the massive number of "sub" men and the endless "my girlfriend never initiates/takes…

A someone who loves Cormac McCarthy's books, and actually saw the movie*, Malkina's aggressive sexuality is just one of the ways she asserts dominance in the typically male-dominated world of drug trafficking. (The other way is... well, see the movie.) Reiner is disturbed because, as he says later in the scene, he…

Okay I actually SAW the movie, which didn't actually come close to its grand statements that it was trying to make and came off as super pretentious, but to me, the scene wasn't about Cameron Diaz asserting her sexuality at all. She was trying to unsettle Javier Bardem, because she basically fucks everything up.…

Also, I thought this was kind of typical for him, having read about 98% of the rest of his works. This definitely isn't that bad in the McCarthy scheme of things coughchildofgodcough

Fuck those people, you're a rockin' feminist.

I think it' s in the conflict - he's trying so hard to be an artist as opposed to a celebrity, but he is marrying (and maybe genuinely in love with, I don't know) the exact opposite of that. So everything he's done recently is to prove just how "artistic" he really is.

This, exactly. It seems like he's torn between being a cutting edge, actually artistic artist and a superwealthy, superfamous "artist." It makes him look a little crazy but in some ways I think this is because our culture doesn't allow for someone to be popular/famous/wealthy while actually being truly artistic. So,…

Also he misses his Mom, and he may never forgive himself for paying for her surgery.

My theory (one of a few) is that he genuinely loves Kim, but is trying to fight what her reputation means for his brand by kicking out at the wrongs of the media world, and its treatment of the pair of them. Now's as good a time as any to go all guns blazing after the unjust ways he's been treated for being a black…

Don't you know that quinoa is far superior to lentils? And of course I only eat quinoa organically farmed by Peruvian virgins- no meat allowed! Not even in those that harvest my food.

You win one kale smoothie.

yes, he does! thanks for mentioning him here. as does harriet jacobs and plenty of other authors of autobiographical slave narratives. it's a problem that was swept under the rug with the southern belle myth and the lost cause ideology that flourished in the wake of the civil war.

I agree- the action is kind of disjointed. In fact,

I loved this series- the story is SO good. But Mockingjay was clearly rushed through the editing process because of the popularity of the series and it is the weakest link. I don't think the plot of Mockingjay is bad- it definitely finishes out the series, but the book feels like a draft and not the final.

I'm with zzyzzxs. Some how she has gone through life not understanding that blackface isn't a good idea. But when people said "whoa, horribly offensive", she said "OMG, my bad, so sorry". Let's all just be glad she didn't try to say it was our own fault for being offended and not being able to take a joke.

I am with you, completely. My initial reaction to this was "Dammit, Julianne!" But I believe she didn't know better. I didn't know what blackface was until I was 22. I had a very diverse group of friends, but school just didn't teach me this. I sensed it might be wrong though.

But doesn't the statement "we're not all the same" (implying that some white people do care, contradicting the earlier comment) mean that the poster is conscious of the benefits that being white has given them? And being aware is the first requirement to helping fight inequality, which, by definition, means that that…
