I feel like Mulligan's presence will only draw attention to how shallow and pointless the whole thing is. She's wasted on crap like this.

No thank you! Just like with Luhrmann's version of Romeo and Juliet, I'll stick with the earlier version (in this case the Robert Redford version of Gatsby, or the Zeffirelli version of Romeo and Juliet).

Is there a worse possible time to experience the Uncanny Valley effect than when you're tired, jet-lagged, rushing, and probably already in a foul mood? I suppose the momentary bemusement might provide some relief from all the other stuff.

You think that people should stop expressing affection towards their families in the way they prefer (which is in part a cultural issue) because it makes you uncomfortable? Yeah, that's not going to happen, nor should it.

Why is it so common among angry misogynists to believe that directly quoting their own words is maliciously misrepresenting them?

Poorly fitting bra + possibly implants + arms raised above the head, which if your bra doesn't fit correctly will cause it to move around. Also that looks like a bikini top rather than a bra.

There really is no "on your own time" when you're a Secret Service agent on a mission where your job is to protect the POTUS. That's just fundamentally not how the job works. You can't ever let your guard down, and they know that when they sign up for the job.

I'm really tired of stupid people trying to derail this conversation into either a justification of their own right to visit sex workers, or their right to engage in sex work. The sex work part is kind of a red herring here - the real issue is the security issue, and the fact that people with high security clearances…

The only case of a mainstream Hollywood movie I can think of where this has been done is the Branagh version of Much Ado About Nothing, that had both Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves cast as Spaniards in a movie based on a Shakespeare play. It worked just fine, so why not Oliver Twist too?

These people scare the crap out of me.

I think all this study shows so far is that there's a societal perception that people who buy organic foods are smug assholes, as shown by many reactions here. It's interesting that people keep clinging to the idea that the study shows that (it doesn't, because it was so poorly designed) despite any evidence to the…

My cat steals money. I'm not kidding - if I leave bills in an accessible place she picks them up and carries them back to her favorite hiding places, or sometimes leaves them scattered all over the floor. Which is a rather odd thing to wake up to - first time it happened I thought I'd been visited by a stoner who'd…

I remember watching that show when it first started (I was 17) and thinking "this guy is going to be bigger than Tom Cruise". Whatever you want to call the quality that makes someone a star, he has bucketloads of it.

I think it's just that you didn't have a TV. I was in my late teens when that show was on, lived in several different countries during the time period it was on the air, and was a pretentious goth/punk with Manic Panic hair, and even I watched and loved that show. Can't think of a single person of my generation who…

Nostalgia attack! I used to watch that show all the damn time when I was in high school and university. Now that I live in America I have to say, Will Smith is a national treasure. Gary Barlow on the other hand...well, the cover of How Deep Is Your Love was awesome, but other than that many Brits of my generation…

Why can't the Catholic Church stick to bossing its own members around* in terms of birth control policy? Why the incessant urge to interfere with the choices of people who are not among the faithful? I'm an atheist, the Vatican thinks I'm going to hell anyway, so why can't they just leave my ladybits alone?

This doesn't sound like fiction for men, it sounds like fiction for small children. And then...and then...and then...

At first glance I thought it was Armstrong, and what he had to do with Schuman. But yeah, he looks like AngryLance.

That was meant to be his "fun" face?
