Hollywood doesn’t worry about what percentage of women actually work as strippers when including the Obligatory Pole Dancing Scene in every story; it is not concerned about how few real-life female detectives joined the force because their mothers were mysteriously murdered. It doesn’t worry about how many couples…

Game of Thrones producer said the rape scene gave Sansa an “important turning point.” If it’s just a dramatic device, my question is: Why don’t male characters have this specific kind of “important turning point” as often as female characters?

... and this is why every freaking door-knocker in New England looks like a pineapple.

(For what it’s worth, I’ve seen Sara Chang dance — not precisely a jig — while performing and yes, I assume her accompanist was prepared for it, because he did not kick over his piano bench in shock.)

But... any female person who is still alive is a “present-day woman.”

If you had ever been told that ALL you were suited to doing was baking, cleaning, doing the laundry and raising the kids — if you had ever participated in family dinner after family dinner where the women and girls got the food on and the dishes off the table while the men and boys watched TV or smoked on the porch —…

I think it gets crapped on because it goes on way too long and because no one except Dennis Hopper looks as if they know what kind of movie they are in or are having any fun making it. Matthew Modine and Geena Davis, on the other hand, seem to be thinking, “Cool! I’m in a fucking pirate movie!”

All the squares become dots, and you can hear the writers thinking, “Fuck this shit.”

Exactly. In my case, I barely care about basketball and mainly want to know who the Warriors are going to be playing and whether I’m going to be taking shit from friends in L.A.

But Wendy Davis is fresh af. Ann Romney would just drag Wu Tang down into her wackness.

Why aren’t they moving to Brooklyn with all the families? Or, you know, to that nice* mall in White Plains? I can understand Manhattan might not be their demographic any more, but this is a destination store.

Pressured his mistress WHO WAS HIS PATIENT to have an abortion.

John Malkovich? He is still doing arty stuff, but recent action-oriented work includes “Burn After Reading,” “Jonah Hex,” “RED,” “Crossbones,” “Transformers” and “Call of Duty.”

Cutthroat Island: Nowhere near as bad as Waterworld, and yet Kevin Costner continue(s) to find work, while Geena Davis, not so much.

I guess “Raven-Symone prefers Rosa Parks to Harriet Tubman for the $20 because Parks is more relevant to the modern Civil Rights movement” wouldn’t be much of a headline.

All I ask is 1 percent of sales. :)

You mean that was the very first time your kid’s camp had considered making itself wheelchair accessible? Even though about 4 million Americans use wheelchairs? My “assholes” may vary from yours.

Maybe I will add a note to my syllabus: “Federal law prohibits my discussing your academic work with your parents.” Students are always genuinely surprised to learn that.

Why, I had a parent call me just last fall to complain about something her son heard in class. And yes, I do teach college students.

My Bialetti is my best friend!
