  I can't believe so many people actually agree with this policy. People shouldn't be able to determine other people's fate based on their heritage. I've had childhood friends deported, I've had friends go through this sickening process and be rejected, even though they are much more upstanding, ha...

  @rentheadangelcollins Oops, and I just realized that's still only two years, not three. It's too early in the morning, my brain apparently can't handle simple math yet. Silly me.

  @rentheadangelcollins And I agree that he most probably means he doesn't cry out of sadness or sorrow, i.e. that it's not a coping mechanism he usually uses when things get tough. Just as most guys in our society still don't in this day and age.

@Popsicle789 And I dare say that Natalie, knowing him personally, can probably judge the situation better than people on the web, most of whom are misguided by harmful moral conventions and sensationalist mass media.

  It's her own choice what she eats, but promoting it as veganism (and this is far from the first time I've seen this) is inconsiderate and unethical. In today's world, it's a reality for some people that maintaining a vegan lifestyle is nearly impossible, so I think promoting organic farming can ...

Yes, the interviewer's comments were ignorant and in bad taste, that's n...

Everytime I've had an encounter with a cop they've pulled this exact thing. They stop you for some minor thing, then you try to explain the situation and calmly state you disagree with their assessment, which is what they've been waiting to hear all along, because it gives them an excuse to demon...

  I honestly think that all these reports about Lea being a diva have some merit. She has this very theatrical, melodramatic air about her. It's apparent here, in the way she cried when Chris won, how she described it as "hysterical crying" afterwards and in general in many of her recent interviews...

If she had gone with him, I wouldn't find that honest. That would be cheating on the viewers, on the story, and also on the characters.

  I think that's the dark, negative side of love. The dark side of it can makes us very destructive. It can give us strength, which is what happens in the movie - in the beginning he's a dead man, basically a zombie. He's being reawakened, kissed back to life, so ...
