hah! probably true - including some of the gay male population too.

that would be an appropriate message to convey to Katniss, regarding Peeta. One of the moments I missed most was when Haymitch tells her that compared with Peeta, there's no way she can hope for better.

She was amazing! And her 'tree' outfit was actually very pretty - but it was not a bad decision to stick to the script and have her take it alllll off. Possibly best decision ever, especially the way they handled. Katniss actually emoted facially!

there were a lot of Jezzies who apparently expected it to be Jesse Williams (who is, admittedly, gorgeous). I do think there is a sad lack of non-white actors in the casting choices - but I always felt like Finnick was a dude who looked Irish. Finnick Odair, as a name, coupled with the 'bronze' hair and green eyes,…

I'm with you - there were definitely times where there were emotions that needed to be brought to the front (and were, in the books), but the film just jumped into the next scene.

Oh my god yes! It reminded me a little of the first of Cinna's outfits for her that is described. I want that outfit, and this outfit. Ok, I want all of Cinna's outfits

Madeleine, do you know if there's a reason why I can't recommend other commentor's submissions anymore? Did they change the star system?

AGREED! Peeta and Katniss have a really complex and, in my opinion, much more interesting relationship that Katniss and Gale. I do wish the people who cast the character hadn't picked someone who is dwarfed by both Gale and Katniss. When I was reading the books, I imagined him as much more on par, attractiveness-wise,…

How great was Finnick! I was very dubious about the casting choice, but somehow it worked. There were several great moments where Sam Claflin did a great job conveying the complexity of his character. The sugar cube scene, which annoyed me in the books, turned out great - more intelligent and calculating than…

this is beautiful. I don't have time to elaborate. But thank you for sharing this story

It is irreversible, which is probably why some women could have a hard time finding a doctor willing to do it. But that's why I chose it.

I had the Essure procedure done this past August, and I have absolutely no regrets.

THIS. this thread is the best. I'm sad it's not at the top (or part of the article), because I imagine many people (like me) watched it weren't sure what was satire and what was exploitation

If only! I wish there were more depictions of social workers, sexy or just, you know, THERE, in popular media

I think that's Prince Naveen from The Princess & the Frog (see: lilypads, water, his necklace)

The guy on the right is not the Beast. Click the link at the bottom - the Beast (in his human form) does in fact have a rose (no euphemism) tucked into his underwear.

Red Hot Riding Hood! We watched it for a gender studies course I took

what vigil are you talking about? are you located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?

Apparently it's only news to me - but I just learned today that Michael Fassbender, my Irish/German sex fantasy, has a record of domestic violence : (

not taking suggestions for better guys to drool over

wait, what? I adore him, but this could seriously undo that!
(but he's Irish and charming...sigh)
