You're right, Mulan and Belle (I actually thought of Belle when writing) were princesses—but Belle married a rich prince, so royalty was again the salvation or means to a better life. Mulan is perhaps the farthest removed, but she falls in love with the son of a general in service to the Emperor and saves the Emperor.

I'll just be happy when we can have a fairy tale story that doesn't involve royalty in any way. It's always a princess or a prince or a king or a lord or a lady—never just people.

Ah, okay, I see it now. The Sun I got, but I didn't see the crescent of the Moon at first. And having people in/on/one with them isn't really that far of a stretch when they're personified. And the tails show orbital motion.

I hadn't slept in a few days. The title after my name isn't a joke, it's a warning. Like the stain of Spice around the lips of the Mentats, my somnambulist moniker stands as a warning to a mind not quite mundane... though less of the "amazing mental computer" and more of the "spastic ADHD monkey-boy weirdo".

No, I'm sorry. When a 2 hour story is dragged out to nine+ hours because the author writes like he's Mojo Jojo, the problem is definitely not me. If it was a film—only a film—and was that long, it would have been reviled. It only gets a pass because the franchise has apologists.

They are characters. That are memorable. And don't have visible faces. We aren't talking about "humans", we're talking about characters. They could have put a face in (a la System Shock's AI or the androids in Prometheus/Alien) to "humanize" her, but they didn't really need to.

Apologies. I'm not a professional or trained author, journalist, or editor.

Again: WHO. CARES?

Oh, my god. You're serious, aren't you?

I'd also like to point out that apparently praising a person for their body isn't sexist either—go to Jezebel and type "thighlights", their daily feature where they drool over scantily-clad male athlete's bodies.

Sexism:

Kryptonian Battle Jammies. Gotcha.

Oh. Oh god that's... that's delicious. Simply delicious. Oh, the haterade that shall flow, and for once the invective will be properly aimed at those most deserving.

And again, who gives a shit? The only person I know of who owns one besides myself is my brother who lives 1000 miles away. As it is, he's borrowed six 360 games indefinitely, and I have his Gamecube games. So even if we swapped back and forth, Sony isn't out any sales they wouldn't have been out through borrowing

He might also be the only celebrity she's been in close proximity to for long enough to pull off an attempt like this.

I can't be the only person who sees the pauldrons as tiny little arms with fingers on the end, can I?

The conservative mindset always amazes me. It's like if a thought has more than two subjects, or one comma, or one sentence fragment—in general any idea that requires more than eight words to a sentence—they just can't grasp it.

I wonder if they included automotive work in their little survey? I mean, that's $60-$90 an hour, depending on the shop, and though I've met some kick-ass lady mechanics, it's still something typically ascribed to "the guy" in a relationship.

No, I think people are saying that it calls into question her character, as all we have to go on is her word. It's pure hearsay, rumor, and gossip. And unless someone else on the plane confirms or denies her accusations, there's not much more to it.

Wow. Barney and Betty in the Flinstones XXX trailer actually... had pretty decent voices for the roles.
