Yep! I laughed out loud when I heard Steinem say that... “Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie.” Absolutely ZERO lies detected there! It’s an uncomfortable truth that most women don’t like to face in themselves until a certain interval of time after they’ve grown out of it.

Yeeeup. This was what Gloria Steinem was trying to say (in my opinion) when she explained why young women were voting for Bernie. I didn’t disagree.

Yeah, I kinda always thought NONE of them deserved the factory. Oompa Loompas should’ve formed a union and taken over and run the factory as an employee owned co-op. To hell with Wonka and the kids.

It’s not even a true story if he survives longer than he did, maybe at best, inspired by. I mean, having someone else alive on the boat that you can touch heads with every five seconds is very different than doing it all completely alone.

The proper ending would be Scott choosing Knives, and Knives giving the “I’m too cool for you” line. I loved that movie, but what Scott deserved was to realize people deserved to be treated better than he treated them.

Grandpa Joe, decent? Tell me you’re not serious. That old man laid in bed for 20 years letting his poor daughter take care of him and his wife along with the inlaws, all while smoking tobacco that he sure as hell wasn’t paying for. He also somehow bought a Wonka bar for Charlie with no money (thus, he swiped money…

I think Knives comes out on top in that movie. Scott is her first crush, she is totally head over heels. She learns to stand up for herself, is given the chance to continue to date Scott, and declines...and rightfully so.

Congratulations on finally outgrowing your Cool Girl[tm] phase! *throws confetti* This exact syndrome is as old as the hills..... When we’re young, we like what the boys like, because we want boys to like us, so we adopt their opinions, we adopt their heroes. It’s pure psychosocial conditioning, very insidious. When…

The Fish in The Cat in the Hat should be at the top of this list. I know, in the cartoon it is voiced by a guy but the book does not assign that fish a gender and I would argue it is the ultimate Lame Bitch.

We are set up to hate the fish, when all it does is point out that we don’t know that cat and he should not be…

If you don’t use a coaster, let alone put your fucking glass on upholstery and then start bouncing around on it, you don’t even count as housebroken.

See, I would have been mad if he ended up with Knives, since the whole movie was Scott realizing he didn’t deserve the various good things in his life. He was “in a band” he kept ditching rehearsals for. He was “with” a couple of girls and lying to both of them. He was the older guy who dates a high schooler because a…

I saw American Beauty in the theatre when I was 13. I was wayyyy toooooo younnggg for it, but I remember being distinctly put off by BOTH creepy, horrible dads in this movie. I just wanted the beautiful young people to run away from it all. All the seduction scenes with Mena Suvari horrified me!

I like the sentiment of this article as a whole but I do want to point out that “lame” is regarded as an ableist term. We should really try to avoid it.

I like Edgar Wright and the Scott Pilgrim movie, but Scott’s whole arc in the book is realising he’s been as bad a boyfriend as the people he’s fighting if not worse. That’s totally missed in favour of style, which maybe should have been a warning sign for Baby Driver.

Knives should have never been with Scott. He’s a creepy child man, and she deserved better. I was glad that she didn’t end up with him in the end, but he really should have been alone in the end.

I think one could possibly make a point of how both Scott and Ramona are both so terrible that they end up removing themselves out of reality, much to the betterment of all the people in their lives.

It would have been immoral to split off into two countries pre-Civil War because it would have meant that the South would still have slavery today. But now...now nothing should stop us from going our own way. Hell, we might be better off as five distinct countries, one in the Northeast, one on the West Coast one in…

I am going to imagine, that he’s just there in her head. Which will make the inevitable death all the more fucking gut-wrenching.

In the real event, they were both fairly experienced sailors — not like she went out for a three-hour sailing lark with a stranger & ended up on a boat she had no idea how to operate. That said, jury-rigging any dismasted boat to sail upwind (the eastbound trip from French Polynesia to Hawaii & the West Coast is a…

This movie/story sounds absolutely like a complete fucking nightmare. Like that Tom Hanks movie but possibly MORE depressing. Le sigh :(
