Burkas are the ones without eye holes/that cover everything. Niqabs are everything but the eyes, and hijab is colloquially just a head scarf with face exposed.

That is so horrifying. I simply cannot imagine being forced to act the physical manifestation of Absence.

I do not know who this is!... but I shall dive deep into the internet to find out.

It is relevant given that the administration trying to ban transgender people from the military. These attitudes did not appear out of nowhere. They are perpetuated by ignorant people with an audience.

‘Sounds like a secret weapon to me,’ he continued. ‘If I was in ISIS in the trenches fighting against the United States and all of the sudden I see a man with a beard and big D-cups titties just rushing my foxhole and shit, I’d be horrified.’

Or he could at least make the jokes funny instead of stupid shit.

I mean, I think it’d it’s going to be an offensive joke that gets a pass it has to be in some way smarter than “ew trans people are icky”.

Far worse than Charlie Sheen/potentially awful plot/collective holding hands over ears about a drama based on 9/11 are my fears that this is a hideous adaptation of a tale of true courage by Dean Eberling and Russell Keene that took place that day in the South Tower.

Cool, cool, but will we be allowed to smoke in the bathroom at this conference?

That same list of questions explains Trump getting elected too.

I swear to fucking god, I am so sick of the reporting on this movie completely omitting the fact that 1) the author of the book co-wrote the screenplay and is, according to both her and Jolie, a very close friend of Jolie’s 2) this movie was done with the full support of the Cambodian government and the local…

I think it’s going to flop big-time. The youngs won’t care while the olds is disgusted and it just looks D-list and cheap.

Can someone explain the appeal of Kevin James? I do not find him funny at all. Like Adam Sandler level of not funny.

I am really nervous about how this will translate. The book was incredible but stories like these are difficult to translate to screen because the reader relies on the internal voice of the narrator (among other reasons). I’m also pretty concerned about the casting issues but I’m going to remain cautiously optimistic…

Oh, cool! I can’t wait to listen! There’s also a book about this that I’ve been meaning to read: The Holy or the Broken about the history of the song.

I love Cohen but something about Buckley.... he was a young guy but an old soul. I don’t know. You can hear the weariness and heartbreak in his voice and his voice is beautiful.
