I am sorry for the grief George H. W. Bush’s family and friends are feeling right now.
But frankly good riddance to bad rubbish, he was little better than a mass murderer and I spit on his grave while the dug earth is still fresh and every day after.
I really want a movie where there’s this Dark Brooding Male Hero who’s like, a total badass, and during all the fight scenes he keeps getting flashbacks to happy images of his wife, and like his whole narrative is framed around his wife, and all the other heroes on his team know that he’s got this passion and vengeance and think it all has to do with his dead wife… but then near the end of the movie his wife shows up and he’s like “hey babe” they’re all shocked and they’re like, “Wait I thought all your power and passion came from avenging your dead wife?” and he’s like “no bro, I just really love my wife, she’s really cool, she’s what keeps me going” like… a reverse fridge

“This whole saving the world thing has kept me from seeing my wife for like, three days and I was really starting to miss her!”
A storm broke out after singer Chinmayi accused poet-lyricist Vairamuthu of sexual harassment in the wave of #MeToo that swept through South India. While some in the industry did speak in support of her, she faced a lot of trolling and abuse for making the charge. Life has pretty much changed, for her after #MeToo, she tells The Hindu in a frank, exclusive interview.
How exactly has life changed for you after #MeToo?
Before #Metoo, I used to sing three songs a day. After an album as successful as 96 (movie), in which I had dubbed for the lead actor as well, I should usually get work for the next one month. But, after my involvement in the #MeToo movement, there has been a silence. In a month, I used to do 10-15 songs, out of which 5 songs would be in Tamil. This has dried up as well. And then, the dubbing union terminates me. I realised it is not a coincidence. Recently, I had signed on to dub for two movies, which were subsequently cancelled.
Why were you terminated from the primary membership of South Indian Cine, Television Artistes and Dubbing Artistes Union?
The office-bearers of the dubbing union say that they have debarred me for not paying the subscription fee — but in February 2016, I had paid a subscription fee of ₹5,000. In 2016, my name was there in the list of members.
They have put in my name, along with 96 others, for not paying the subscription fee. According to the union bylaw, the membership automatically lapses and a new card has to be bought. Since I had dubbed for 96, Irumbu Thirai and two other recently launched films, it clearly means that I was a member
