Damnit. I stan for "30 Rock" but Jenna's Filipino joke from last episode kinda bugged, and Alec's crack [smh] is gonna make it a wee bit hard for me to enjoy the reruns.

Are we the safe Asian (Pacific Islander) to make fun of? Because we have a friendly history, not fraught with Vietnam War guilt and such? Yay for being "A Little Brown Brother". Don't get me started on what the U.S. boys stationed in the P.I. used to call women there. Starts with "Little Brown"... ends with wanted to kick some dude's ass.

Arghhhh. Sorry if this is off-topic now. Change topics. Is that Ireland in the photo with him? Is she that old now? Quite lovely!

I liked Breaking The Waves and all, but Von Trier needs to get over himself. From the comments I read on the earlier thread about this, I don't think I'll be able to stomach this movie....

@Penny: Both "Waves..." and "...Dark" were fairly awesome (if catatonic-depression inducing) but I saw part of one of Lars von Trier's more recent and came away thinking he needed a LOT of therapy before I'd bother with another.

@Penny:

i didn't even know what "gynophobia" was until i looked it up today. since i only read the reviews and haven't seen it, i can only comment from that perspective. but it sounds like a sexual morality play where the woman punishes her husband and herself sexually because their child fell out a window while she and her husband were in another room, unawares, having sex.

i guess i~~ get it. but what would she have done if instead she was home sick alone, and had to run to the toilet because she had a case of the runs and was in there a long time, and her kid fell out the window? what would she have cut off then?

just something oddly medieval about the mutilation in this movie, especially since the woman carries it out~~ like sex is bad and dirty and she's disgusting for enjoying it, and she was punished by losing her child. the cinematography makes it shocking and the setting is modern-day, but the storyline itself seems "gynophobic."

I'm totally bummed about Samantha Who. It's one of those fun, frothy escapist shows I don't think they make enough of anymore. So many great actresses on it, too -- Christina, Jean Smart, Melissa McCarthy ...

Alec Baldwin is now on my Shit List. This Filipino/European blend of Aussie is tired of people making jokes about:

*Imelda Marcos. Living under the Marcos regime wasn't shits and giggles - my Filipino rellies are allowed to joke about it, clueless white people who think Imelda is "cute" aren't.

*Ping pong balls. Remarkably, the majority of women from the Philippines and Thailand do not derive their income from performing lewd novelty acts/sex work.

* Mail Order Brides. My parents met while my father was on holiday in my mother's native land. They corresponded via mail, sending love letters for several months, before deciding to marry. If my mother wasn't Asian, this would be considered romantic, rather than an indication of/cover for a possible financial transaction.

Note: The next person to imply that I am more suited to domestic duties than an "Australian" girl can go fuck themselves.

@Fridge Hussy :STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A TITTY BEF...: Yes, I know what you are saying. Two of my uncles married Filipino women, one of the lovely ladies is of mixed descent and second generation, while the other moved to the states shortly before they met. The two couples' children look very different and are constantly asked "what they are." The children that are darker often get mistaken for Mexican in school, while everyone assumes the lighter child is White. It's disheartening to see the way they are treated differently, especially by my own grandmother, who favors the lighter child.

@Chocolate Sex Bunny: It really is terrible. I feel for the poorer spouse when they've spent years with someone, uprooting their life for their spouse's career. They do deserve money because they helped built the other person's career.

That doesn't mean anyone deserves money for a one or two year marriage.

About the Mary-Louise nude scene...shouldn't SHE ultimately have a the final say in it? I mean, she's the star of the show, it's her body...I don't know, it just sort of skeeves me out the way it sounds like she was forced into it.

Also I wonder how much of this has to do with the reported contentions between MLP and the director and producer of the show- like, either they forced her to do it because they didn't like her or that she's complaining about it now because she doesn't like them? Either way, a shitty situation.

@AlmostDream: Imagine there is a nude scene written and you tell the director that you don't want to do it. Rather than getting you a camisole for the scene, he cajoles you, then yells at you, convincing you that your artistic integrity is at stake if you don't show your tits.

Yes, she should have said no if she really didn't want to do it, but the director wasn't on the up and up.

@AlmostDream: "I fought with the director about it... I was goaded into it" sure sounds like pressure to me. Now maybe it wasn't intentional pressure, but I'm not sure the "we" in the director's quote was meant to include Mary-Louise.

I'm not saying the director is the big bad wolf, but it sounds a little sketch.
