I have to wear a tie tonight for the first time ever. I don’t think I’ve ever worn a tie before. It’s my first Hapkido testing as a blackbelt. Our white belts are testing for the first time, so it’s pretty low-key, but black belts have to wear a white shirt and our club’s red tie.
So in honor of this moment, here is Ellen Page. In a tie.
Tracks
What as very interesting about the experience of press with this movie is that people are constantly telling me how dark it is. How […] men will sit down to do an interview with me and be like, “Oh, I feel afraid of you! Make sure there’s no scissors in here,” and making all these jokes and I was like, you know that basically every time I turn on primetime television I see a woman who has been stabbed and in a dumpster and the amount of violence towards women that we watch in cinema and just television every evening is quite frankly traumatizing, and I guess sort of accepted in this way. And then here we do a film where this girl is taken home by this man and she proceeds to psychologically torture him. And it turned into this huge huge fiery debate, and I was quite frankly shocked. It’s not even, I don’t think it’s even a penny on the scale.

The Casting Game
My friend created this website and it’s really fun and well-built! Basically you can cast whatever you want to - books that don’t have movies yet, live-action cast of animated things, re-castings of TV shows, or it’s pretty funny to cast things in your life like your family, friends or co-workers. I made a gender-swapped Harry Potter. Still need to add more people…and there are people I’d change looking at it now… :)
