Related: my wife and I were watching the Netflix show “Grace and Frankie,” and saw the scene when Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are in a grocery store trying to get the attention of a clerk to buy cigarettes and getting increasingly pissed, until he finally does come over... to help a young blonde woman.

Weighing in with my totally anecdotal observations based on my own chubby, male anatomy.

My wife is currently recuperating from a tummy tuck to remove skin left from where she lost a lot of weight a few years back. She has to keep support garments on 24/7 for weeks, and then off and on for months. After a lot of shopping around she chose a Spanx-kinda thing from Target that has snaps in the crotch and she…

Any idea if the Creative Cloud offer is only for new subscribers, or can present subscribers can jump in on it?

Oh, they did. And so did fans. It was talked about a lot. I believe had the show lasted more than 14 episodes it would have expanded considerably.

In his original Serenity script, MUCH longer than the one shot, Book is still onboard, there’s a different guy on that moon helping them hide out, and no one dies at the end. No idea how much the changes were due to contracts, the need to combine characters and Whedon’s own vision, but the first version (available…

He did make exactly that distinction. In his interview with Buzzfeed:

Local newspaper has more of the footage.

Thing is, troll response is preventing people from staying in or even entering some fields. Just read this today: http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblo… Lauren Mayberry of the Chvrges reposted an obnoxious comment she received and quickly got over 1,000 responses. Some supportive, many vile. You can’t be a…

Ask Zelda Williams how difficult it is to avoid a troll. She left Twitter because she kept getting photoshopped pics of her dead father sent to her. Or the women the GamerGaters decide to target, many of whom left social media altogether. Or the parents of suicide victims who get hit with waves of abuse.

Well, the ability to try to ignore nonsense. When belligerent idiots take it upon themselves to force their attention on you, to the point where it floods out everything that isn’t them and causes you to take on the new full-time job of blocking them and their friends, it isn’t quite as wonderful anymore.

So far the people mentioned here and in previous articles did, in fact, act professional by going in the back and having their moment away from the public.

ThinkGeek's Game of Thrones Clue game abruptly dropped off their site this afternoon, so I'd like to solve it:

Never understood mistreating a server. Not only for decent-human-being reasons, which should be enough by themselves anyway, but because it always pays dividends later on.

To clarify my post: Stewart had an interview half-hour show on MTV that was successful enough for the powers-that-be to move it to a full hour format with more executive oversight, where it tanked.

He was known but mostly in a hip, insider sort of way. He's had an MTV talk show that lasted less than a year, he'd been doing standup forever, and he'd had bit parts in several movies which completely failed to launch his movie career. There was some bitching but there wasn't really a huge surge of "The Daily Show…

I should point out, in case my posts weren't clear, that while I can see why someone might get upset about being overlooked due to race I'm not justifying their stance or trying to validate it. The Deadline article was tone-deaf and ignorant of history. And, now that they're doubling down and saying they've stirred up…

I think any actor who loses a job for any reason other than he or she isn't talented enough has a reason to complain. I also think that POC actors have had this happen to them over and over for, oh, all of recorded broadcast media, so even if there's a shred of validity in there it's drowned in the ocean of…

Good point, and me being unclear. It's not letting me edit, so let me post a more accurate version:

The complaint that talented white actors are being pushed aside so that creators can meet a POC quota is potentially a valid one all on its own, but it ignores the context of a half-a-century of talented actors of color utterly ignored because they weren't white. And it ignores the powerful and growing audience for…
