I'm surprised the fuckin' Telegraph is portraying this as a positive thing. I'd expect them to darken her skin and run a headline like "Will 'Smart' Wogs Destroy Our National Character?"

Right, I'm not saying I personally believe it's an affectation, it's just not the same concept as femininity.

Are there really people who Zooey Deschanel pisses off with her femininity? I mean, obviously the Internet is full of unrepentant straight-up woman-haters, but I thought her detractors largely had a problem with her more for how affected her image was than anything else.

Four legs good, two legs BETTER.

I love "Top of the Lake" so damn much. It's essentially a filibuster against rape culture in the guise of a mystery. What really captivated me about Robin (and I may have used this turn of phrase on here before) is that she's such a perfect demonstration of why "strong female characters" and deeply flawed/damaged…

Chris O'Dowd IS The Sapphires, on DVD now.

I'm not sure why but I feel like the fact that she's ginger sweetens the deal.

I will say I'd find him more plausible as Batman than Joseph Gordon-Levitt-Hussein-Fitzgerald-Galadriel-Moonchild's annoying Robin-but-also-the-new-Batman Mary Sue. Thank God he appears to be off the table.

I thought "Drive" was pretty good, but I will never stop laughing at that "abridged script" for it where all of Gosling's lines end with "...or whatever, I don't care."

I really can't see this working. When Gosling tries to do brooding and tortured, it just comes off as vaguely unconcerned.

I always assumed it was because so many old, non-tech savvy unreconstructed racists assumed that their homepage was the entire Internet.

Lara Pulver's performance and Moriarty's phone call redeem it a bit for me, or it least make it better than the "crafty Chinamen" episode from the first season.

I mean, fucking Yahoo News has an abuse policy for their comment section. If you want to upend the status quo, ENFORCE a policy rather than just assuming that the policy itself is some sort of Ella Enchanted-ass safeguard against anyone actually violating it.

I'm fine as long as whoever it is has a totally outrageous paradigm. You've heard the expression "Let's get busy?" Well, this will be a Time Lord who gets biz-ZAY.

Ugh, yes. I just now read that nauseating comment he made about how, in the Doyle stories, Sherlock Holmes' respect for Irene Adler is clearly just because he had the hots for her, and I'm going to have a difficult time watching series 3.

I genuinely did not know Italian people were allowed into Texas on non-JFK-assassination-organizing business in the first place.

Judging from that poster, "We Are Men" is going to promote all sorts of hateful stereotypes about how men can't use Photoshop.

I feel like you could look at a picture of Sean Parker without knowing who he was and guess that his name was "Sean Parker."

My wife's been watching the cable coverage of the sentencing and when CNN started expressing shock that he was blaming his victims, she just yells "Oh, yes, we all know CNN HATES blaming the victim."

Huh; you may be right, but I always assumed that was because the stakes had been so elevated that there wasn't a lot they could do with a normal person as compared to the early seasons (which is also why they struggled to find anything to do with Dawn after the Key storyarc).
