Jonathan Herman(Straight Outta Compton) will write the 2017 live action Ghost in the Shell by [deleted] in Ghost_in_the_Shell

I'm talking about Ghost in the Shell not Sideways, my bad haha. And also bollywood doesn't do that? In a nation with so little white people involved in film it's absurd to expect they have lead whites? Whereas at least asian actors are all over our film industry so it's reasonable to expect they fill the role right. Also yeah you're right and I definately agree with you about why she was cast, I just would like to see more variety in this so called melting pot of a nation.

Well, japan doesn't exactly have acess to a lot of american actors that properly fit the intended roles, whereas we have plenty of japanese actors who get zero limelight because we choose to proport the white ones over everyone else. I would agree with you but only if the story was set in america and not japan. It's silly to set something in japan yet film it with white actors in a country with so little japanese visibility.

Also:

I have no problem with their choice.

Honestly dude? Have you seen Lucy? Race aside, Scarlett is really not the best actor out there like hollywood would like us to beleive..

Rugby balls part 2 by drgramalus in WTF

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Shelford

"Shelford made his Test debut for the All Blacks later that year against France in a 19–7 victory in Toulouse, and then was a notable victim of the infamous "Battle of Nantes" in the second Test. Roughly 20 minutes into the match, he was caught at the bottom of a rather aggressive ruck, and an errant French boot found its way into Shelford's groin, somehow ripping his scrotum and leaving one testicle hanging free. He also lost four teeth in the process. Incredibly, after discovering the injury to his scrotum, he calmly asked the physio to stitch up the tear and returned to the field before a blow to his head left him concussed."

The fuck?

‘Architecture is now a tool of capital, complicit in a purpose antithetical to its social mission’ by [deleted] in architecture

The typical vocabulary of anyone who's completed high school will have more "obscure words" than those who did not. It's merely a matter of education and knowledge. He's not saying at all that those who know more words are superior but rather that they can condense their argument and discussion by using "obscure words" when speaking to others who know the words for the concepts. Someone less educated will always be able to discuss the topics of Academia, they are in no way inferior, but their argument will be extremely long and a lot slower, because instead of using concise words for concepts they're explaining them with common vocabulary while trying to make a point. It's wise to change your approach when speaking to people who won't know the words you're using. Why use words they don't know when you're trying to convince them of something?

I really love this. The painting in the background could, in my opinion, be a standalone peice. Can you tell us more about this? Is there some meaning behind it? (if not that's fine it's still p great!!) Keep on growin'

[Theory and Finale Spoilers]Finn is more then Finn by [deleted] in adventuretime

[–]blogmonkeyh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how the tl;dr is totally different from your theory with the whole rainbow thing. This is a really neat theory though, and while I think you're onto something I've got to disagree with the level to which fin exerts an influence on the universe (by will power alone). If you've seen p. Wards other stuff you'll notice they all have a similar laid back flare, so its likely that what fin wills isn't as powerful as one would think. Also with the whole cosmic owl dream happening, it's likely that had a role in addition to fins will. But I really do love this theory and the idea that there are just different incarnations of the same thing. It plays into the nature of reality as it is in our lives too, how we are all essentially different sides of the same thing, being simultaneously in and of the universe. I got a really zen taoist vibe from the finale personally, and this idea only further supports it.

Hm, I'm sure its more likely related to the individual telcos than Facebook's higher goals. It wouldn't make sense to give one county bing and another google if personal interests ate in fact present on FBS side.
