Two lesbian witches are about to take over your TV – and we’re so here for it.
A Discovery of Witches, which is coming to Sky 1 later this year, will feature Sarah Bishop, a powerful lesbian witch played by Doctor Who and Arrow star Alex Kingston.
Together with her partner, another witch called Emily Mather, Sarah raises her niece Diana, teaching her how to use her powers to fight in a centuries-old struggle between supernatural beings.
Seriously. Everyone should look this guy up on YouTube. He has so. Fucking. Many. Marble races. He names them. He has intense commentary. He did a fucking Marble Olympics. And all of the videos are so entertaining. My old roommates and I used to each pick our favorite marbles and root for them. In the “Marblympics” we all chose teams we liked and rooted for them all season long. It’s fantastic. He put so much time and effort into his content.
do my eyes cruelly deceive me or is that an actual plus-sized girl in anime
ok but chances are its to appeal to gross straight otaku who just wanna fuck anime girls, and not trying to promote body positivity
otaku boys would be disgusted by this anime because the girls in it are frank about their menstrual cycles, how difficult it is to find bras when you’re busty, and if they feel like shaving or not
is this a real anime? because i want to watch it.
oshiete! hallo-chan
Galko Chan is great.
lol at the jackass assuming this anime is supposed to be gross
My cousin’s showing me a mockumentarh movie called ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ about a group of vampires in NZ, Taika Waititi is one of the vampires, it’s like 2 mins in and I love it
The vampires are flatmates and are arguing about no one washing the bloody dishes
“I’m embarrassed when I bring people over!”
“What does it matter, you bring them over you kill them!”
“The other day, I was dragging a body across the floor, I noticed, not much dust.”
“…”
“I kind of swept?”
“She (girl he fell in love with) gave me this (locket) before she left. She told me it is pure silver.”
….
“Unfortunately, we vampires, cannot wear silver.”
*cuts to Taika wearing the locket, his chest smoking*
*talking about drinking virgin blood*
“I like to think of it like this. I think you would enjoy a sandwich more if you knew no one had fucked it.”
“What are we?”
Group as one: “werewolves not swearwolves”
“You led a vampire hunter into our house?!”
“I just gave him my email!”
“His soul is in hell.”
“I don’t care where his soul is, where’s his blanket?”

why is this cracker the main character of a movie set in CHINA
full offense but fuck this white guy lmao
“1700 years to build. 5500 miles long. what were they trying to keep out?”
the huns. they were trying to keep out the huns. the huns were what were being kept out of china via the wall that china built. that great wall, which was built by china, was made to keep out the invaders, known as the huns. it was the huns who were being blocked by the wall that china built, which was a great weall. it was the huns who
uh, no? it says on the poster Matt Damon. They were trying to keep out Matt Damon.
I know that after seeing so many egregious examples of whitewashing, it’s infuriating to see yet another movie featuring a white man as the hero in a land that is definitely not white. But let me tell you why The Great Wall is different.
Unlike The Last Airbender, Prince of Persia, Ghost in the Shell, Gods of Egypt, and Doctor Strange, The Great Wall is not inserting a white actor into a role meant for a non-white actor. This is an original story by Chinese director Zhang Yimou (famous for Hero and House of Flying Daggers), filmed in Qingdao, China, and featuring one of the largest Chinese casts ever.
Did you only see Matt Damon in advertising? That’s because the Chinese people involved with the film know that Americans will recognize an American actor. This is targeted marketing. If you actually look at the cast, Damon co-stars with Chinese actors Andy Lau, Jing Tian, Han Lu, and more.
The Chinese film industry is trying to break into the American market by featuring a prominent American actor. Don’t boycott The Great Wall for attempting to appeal to American audiences. Matt Damon’s entire purpose is to lure Americans into the theater for Jason Bourne and expose them to Chinese actors already well known in China.
A similar example to The Great Wall is the upcoming action-comedy film Skiptrace starring Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville. A Chinese actor and a white actor are co-starring and the film involves a road trip from Mongolia to Hong Kong. If you’re still displeased with Matt Damon, go see that.
Tl;dr if you want to support Chinese people in movies, watch The Great Wall (Feb 17, 2017) and watch Skiptrace (Sep 2, 2016).
If you do a little reading up on the film you’ll see that it’s fantasy based and there are monsters that they are fighting, this movie is not trying to rewrite history or tell fact, it’s just trying to tell a weird fantasy story rooted in China.
And the lead role was intended to be a white actor for story reasons, he’s an outsider, he was never meant to be Chinese, y’all need to chill and actually watch the films instead of getting all riled up about something you don’t want to see in the first place.
I FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT THIS MOVIE SUDDENLY.
>Why is a white guy in this Chinese movie? Lets punish the Chinese director and 99% Chinese cast by not going to see it.
“Progressive”
Honestly this look like a lot of fun. And it is clearly a fantasy work.
Also, lets remember, that the same people who freak out by there being no black people in early European settings also freak out about there being Europeans in Asian settings. Because what is consistency?
This is an Asian movie trying to reach a Western audience. It’s that simple people.
Okay now that’s clever.
This is something where SJW’s who are so intent on going “AHA! Whitewashing!” that they don’t read more into it before jumping on it.
And I say this as an SJW myself. Sometimes I swear people dump on what they see as an affront like they’ll win points for pointing out racism or whatever.
But it makes all social justice warriors look bad. Always dig more before you pull the “AHA! You’re racist/sexist/ableist/etc!”
I admit I fall into that pattern too, but I’m trying to break it and I hope others learn from this post, too.
It’s about this dude Henry who’s an artist living in New York,
and he has to go back to his hometown in Montana to take care of his grandfather who just recently had a stroke and is wheelchair-bound.
Things are all fine and dandy until Henry finds out that his old best friend from high school, as well as object of his unrequited affections that he’s never really been able to let go of is also back in town. His name is Dean. He’s there with his two sons to recoup from a recent divorce from his wife.
Henry is extremely frazzled by seeing his long-time crush after so many years, but they spend a lot of time together over the passing weeks and seem to fall into their old friendship very easily. Perhaps a little too easily….??? hmmm???
And with everything with Dean happening, Henry can’t be blamed that he’s entirely oblivious to Pike, the man who runs the local general goods store.
It’s obvious to us (and the whole damn town) that Pike’s been head over heels for Henry since high school, but is painfully shy. He can barely talk to Henry at all and it’s the cuTEST GODDAMN THING oh lord help me from this movie.
Throughout the movie, Pike can’t seem to help himself from wanting nothing more than to make Henry happy from afar. He’s supposed to be delivering food cooked by one of the older ladies in town to Henry and his grandfather’s house to eat every night, but Pike cooks his own, exceptionally better meals, and delivers those instead and tells no one.
Now, Henry does notice Pike, and something about him catches his attention. Even if he doesn’t understand why yet. He tries to invite him to stay for dinner almost every night in an attempt to get him to open up, but Pike only becomes more closed off when he notices what’s going on between Henry and Dean.
I’ll stop there, as I don’t want to give the whole thing away, but I can’t leave this without talking about the town’s residents in this movie. This place is 100% one of those little towns where everyone knows each other as well as their business, you have nosy little old ladies, dudes who do nothing all day but sit on the porch of the corner store and smoke a pipe, and they all go to church on Sundays.
AND YET, not only is this movie void of any homophobia from any character, basically the whole freaking town is all up in this whole love triangle. They support Pike so much that there’s even scenes where they all play matchmaker with him and Henry. They root for them in the goofiest, most loveable way.
SO BASICALLY, this is a silly romantic comedy, except gay. It’s all super lighthearted comedy with tiny bits of drama thrown in. No one dies!!!! No one is killed or commits suicide and has a 100% happy ending!!! The three main guys are just normal guys!!! There’s not a stereotype to be found here!! anD ONE OF THEM IS NATIVE AMERICAN. No seriously guys it hurts me that not everybody knows about this movie. I discovered it when I was in middle school in our video store’s tiny little LGBTQ section, and must have rented it 20 times throughout the years before I finally bought it. I know this movie almost frame by frame I’ve watched it so many times because it’s just so disgustingly cute and always makes me happy. NOW, this movie isn’t perfect. It’s got some clunky acting, weird.. I guess artsy moments that don’t make sense, and crosses into the line of cheesy quite a few times, BUT, that’s really not important. This is treated exactly as if it were a het romantic comedy. Their being gay has nothing to do with the overall story, and is never brought up save for a small plotline where Henry is guilty with himself for never coming out to his grandfather. But overall, more LGBTQ movies need to be like this, it’s just way too rare.
GO WATCH IT YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID. Sadly, the only way I know to get ahold of it is to just buy the DVD. But it’s fairly cheap on Amazon! And even cheaper if you buy it used on there, but either way I promise it’s worth it to own. Like I said, I think I kept our video store in business from my renting it so many times.
Oh, and I hope you enjoy country music to some extent because this has the countriest soundtrack of all time.
