I think it’s also because it’s so unnecessary. Women face a lot of pressure to keep up their looks, especially the older they get, so it stands to reason that some women would take it way too far and turn into Jocelyn Wildensteins or Real Housewives. Men are for the most part spared that pressure, especially if they…

I’ll honestly never understand why people go so nuts on botox.  Does he honestly believe that he looks younger/better?  Botox treatments have always looked like what they are to me: injecting a pathogen into muscle.  The crow’s feet/worry lines around his eyes are gone because the muscles have been disabled.  That…

I’d argue that a mayor in a strong-mayor system like South Bend’s has as much relevant experience as a senator, many of whom never manage more than a small team of people over their careers. It may be a useful step, but it’s hardly a *necessary* one.

The Wachowskis do strike me as filmmakers who have a ton of great ideas and vision, but don’t quite know how to filter out the stuff that doesn’t work. I’d be fascinated to see what they could do with someone like Kevin Feige reigning them in a bit.

I think debilitating alcoholism counts as a pretty good reason for not committing yourself to a year of massive stress.

I find it fairly easy to empathize with him. He was coming off of his grand comback as a director and actor with Argo after years of being the butt of jokes about Daredevil, Gigli, and his relationships. Here he was, seemingly back on top, with a second chance to make a good comic book movie. South Park even dedicated…

Hey woman! HEY WOMAN!

Rocky III is amazing because Lang delivers, “ Shut up, Old Man! I ain’t goin’ nowhere. Why don’t you tell all these nice folks why you been duckin’ me? Politics, man. This country want to keep me down. Keep everybody weak. They don’t want me to have the title because I’m not a puppet like that fool up there.”
And then…

I will take the baby!

“Why don’t men take the time to learn about how a woman’s body works, then make an effort to put that into practice? (Watching a steady diet of porn does not count!) Why not ask their partner what she needs from him to get her interested and willing?”

His Batmobile broke down with engine trouble, and when he got out to inspect the car, it was struck by a Toyota Camry, and then his own car hit him.

That’s Zap Brannigan you’re thinking of. Kirk’s horndog aspect has been exaggerated in memory and parody for so long that people think it’s canon but Kirk in TOS was a very by the book captain for the most part. The book he followed, though, was one that gave a HUGE amount of discretion and leeway to Captains on the…

Because our goddamn society tells the average man that if he doesn’t take the initiative in regards to his sexual impulses, he is pretty much guaranteed to remain forever alone?

Taste is suggestive. You don’t like it. That’s fine. The popularity and imitation of it should be more than enough proof to show how important it was.

NGE isnt good? Thanks for the chuckle there, i needed it.

I've been watching anime since Macross and Voltron in the 80's and up into the mid 2000's. While I'm not as up-to-date with many newer releases, I can try to recommend something from the archives. Do you have a rundown of what you have seen and didn't like or what genre you'd be most interested in?

Akira? Ghost in the Shell? It's surprising that these aren't even mentioned considering they both contributed quite a bit in introducing and popularizing anime and manga in the west.

As a fat person as well (though, sadly, much much fatter than you) I understand humiliation only too well. I feel it every time I leave the house and walk among the normies. Once, I went on a date with this guy that I'd met online. I sent him several photos of myself (so that he'd know what he was getting himself…
