I’m sure Fassbender is relieved to be out of America and Britain right now.

I’d still pick Hollywood over Bollywood any day of the week.

Siding with Hollywood at this critical time where so many rapists/pedophiles are coming out of the wood-works is not something I think you want to do.
Don’t get me wrong, Bollywood has its fair share of godawful films (so does Hollywood, let’s not kid ourselves) but Bollywood doesn’t have a Harvey Weinstein or a Kevin Spacey or a Jon Favreau.
And by the way, fuck Louis CK.
Every country has their own Harvey Weinstein! Just cause he hasn’t been exposed yet doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist. Also, aleast women have more freedom and support in the US,whereas in India law enforcement on protecting women’s rights is weak.
Here’s a timeline of unarmed black people killed by police officers in America.

It’s time you take your blinders off and look at India again. You’re going on about Weinstein and Spacey while the vast majority of Indian women are treated like garbage. India’s been making the news constantly for one thing in recent years, rape. Major cities like Delhi are unsafe for women. Atleast American cops will listen to rape victim. The typical Indian cop can be bought and bribed with little difficulty. Your politicians are famous for blaming girls for being out too late at night or wearing a too short of a dress.
You talk about race issues in America, what about the caste issues in India? What about the Dalits? How many people give a fuck about low caste rape victim in an Indian village? What resources does she have? F**k outta here.
India is a inarguably a third world, developing country which means its WORKING on its problems, America is billed as a first world DEVELOPED country which means it should have most of these problems sorted out but as one can see, it clearly doesn’t.
America has had eight school shootings since January 2018 for fucks sake.
Have you ever heard of 17 Indian school children being gunned down? No.
I love both countries very much (my father’s from America and my heart is in India) but I’m much more critical of America because its a first world country.
It’s like going to a five star hotel and seeing a shit ton of health violations and quality let-downs. You are bound to complain, right? I mean who wouldn’t. You step into a five star or a four star hotel and you expect exceptional quality..
But would you be as stringent when you go to a cheaper hotel of a lesser quality? Probably not. I mean sure you might complain, but you wouldn’t complain as much if you were in a five star hotel, would you?
That’s how I see India and America.
Last point: India is 70 years old while America is 350 years old.

What’s amazing is that the Dubai comic con in April is bigger and has been going on for longer, but if you look at their guest list….Kuwait hands down has MUCH better guests for a con only in its second year. I’m really impressed with the Kuwait comic con, hope they keep getting better and surpass the Dubai one.
Is the dubai one also full of hobbyists booths and shops from rehab complex?
Yup, full of hobbyist booths and shops.
They do have official booths of major companies though which is great
I personally prefer going to Video Games Live in Doha this weekend than going to Comic Con Kuwait.
In fact, that’s what I’m doing.
Michael Fassbender was also in A Dangerous Method – highly recommended.
I liked the sd comicon better –
