Seriously. They could have totally went there with her. Like, don't apologize, you thought your man was dead. But that scene with her whispering to Rick made my skin crawl. It seemed stereotypical that a woman would expect her man to make a stand in "her honor." Just awful.

I think that's one of the reasons why I keep watching the show is I'm fascinated by what would actually happen in the zombie apocalypse. Apparently, according to the writers, the gender roles would stay — or regress, even.

I know very little about the comic book community but it seems like there's a surprising amount of misogyny and/or stereotypical portrayals of women. It also seems like many of the comic book writers don't care all that much.

There's so much hate for Andrea on the internet. She was badass. She was the only female character who was like, "Pffft. You do the laundry, I am going to shoot shit" and yet she got so much flack.

*him. Total typo.

Yeah, I saw that and assumed it wasn't him but was too lazy to check it out.

I have a love/hate relationship with the internet. People who shouldn't be given as much attention seem to receive it. My dad took classes with Ebert in the 70's before they started a lottery at U of I (once he and Siskel got on tv). Said he was the most unassuming man and so patient with students. It's such a…

That actually made me tear up!

Ha. I feel like Morgan Freeman gets a lot, too.

Eh, I am pretty indifferent to Roeper to be honest. I was an avid Sun Times reader until I moved and used to like his column but 4/5 he would say something that made me turn my head like a confused dog. Like some pretty offensive shit sometimes...or just really shallow. I completely agree with you about him never…

I'm from Chicago and grew up with him as a cultural icon. I think today so many reviews/reviewers are preening, bombastic, or just plain mean. Like they want to write a soundbite that's harsh and get known for trashing a filmmaker's work.

That's hilarious.

You said it better than I could so I just wanted to reply and say "word."

Yeah, the Beasties were part of the soundtrack of my life in HS and college. It was like I knew him personally when he died. So strange. But I guess that's what music does.

He was so classy and always spot on. He seemed like such a great human being. How sad.

Adam Yauch from the Beastie surprisingly upset me and now this. But it's VERY rare for me to get upset at celeb deaths either.

What a class act. Ugh, so sad.

Good one.

*raises hand*

I haven't thought SNL was funny since I was in high school. And I have no idea if it's me and that I just don't like sketch comedy that much or if the writing is just not funny.
