Nom, malasadas.
And yeah. Buffistas need to incorporate and contract ourselves out to big Hollywood companies, where we can be experts on everything and keep them from making themselves look like asses.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I recognize that my objections are probably along the lines of ita's wrong music objections in that no one else cares, but who am I, if not the person who comments on Asian casting?
If you find the time, could you pop over into Movies and the current discussion about race and casting? I'd welcome your insights.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Liese, BE that Asian casting commenting woman!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I still suck at being social.
My new filing cabinet was delivered today, and they left it on the porch. I got home, and I tried several times, but I couldn't lift it over the step into the house. I noticed my neighbor outside smoking, and after several times of stepping over toward him and then stepping back, I finally asked him if he'd help me. He said sure, no problem. He brought it in, and I thanked him. I realized that this would be the time when normal people introduce themselves, but somehow, I just couldn't get, "Hi, I'm Hillary, I just moved in here" to come out of my mouth, so I just said thanks a few more times and he went home.

Oh fuck off. I'm more interested in her thoughts as a LotR fan.

Not just you Liese, though I was willing to let the cranes go - I'm a half-Irish Protestant Christian with a small Ganesh on her desk - people adopt others' traditions. But the idea last night that two Koreans (who could pass for Chinese in a pinch) were both related to a Samoan bugged me.
And thinking further about the topic in general, I was sort of glad that the 1st identifier for DDK in my head is Gavin (from AtS). Gavin could have been played by any ethnicity - DDK just got the job because they liked him, not because they needed an "Asian" look.

Yeah, I popped over.
I have no problem commenting. I'll be happy to let you (general you) know if I'm having activist fatigue and don't want to be Asian Representative. But you guys know me, and I'm talky meat.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh fuck off.

Huh. And see here was me (only having seen the first ep) a little impressed that when they cast two actors as related, they were both actually Korean.
Are there many Koreans in Hawaii? Are there a lot of people who are "inter-Asian" to completely make up a term? I know so little about it that it might have pinged me as odd but I wouldn't have known how egregious it was. Sounds like it was way on that side of the line.
We like talky meat around here!
