Back when I was a kid I thought these complaining people could take on the world and right wrongs. Now I realize they’re mostly just a bunch of assholes who are upset because the world isn’t handed to them. They’re basically the sort of people they claim to hate.

This article should be archived in the Congress Library, for the posterity!

Re the new Ghostbusters : I don’t think I’ve seen a film so handily ace the Bechdel Test since Fried Green Tomatoes. Mad Max: Fury Road does pass, though.

I know, right? So what if it is “pandering” to women. The movies have been pandering to any guy who will pay them for decades.

I must be the only one who has never seen the original Ghostbusters. But I don’t think remakes can ruin an original film. If the remake is bad, watch the original! They remade Karate Kid with Jaden Smith but I still love the original. Etc. It does bother me that we need so many remakes or icky sequels. Are there no…

... why did Star Trek have to be remade? Why did Fright Night? Why would literally any massively popular and moderately original movie be remade? Because the movie business is, first and foremost, a business, and they want to make money.

I’m taking my daughter to see it this weekend and can’t wait. I LOVE Predator and Total Recall and Robocop. The remakes/reboots of those did NOTHING to dispell my love for the originals. Fuck the man babies of the world.

Talese knows that someone is spying on people in their most private moments—not mad.

You sound stupid and like you don’t know how to read, chill. That’s not what I was saying at all.

He is slowly turning into a teen age goth and I am READY FOR IT.

Female tabletop gamer here. Recently had to chat with my group’s leader about getting the boys to cut out the rape jokes. My tolerance for vulgar humor is high — but that is the line, for me and the other woman in our group. I told him, (a) it’s not a real thing for you, so you don’t understand; and (b) you don’t know…

Women do play less, but a lot (like me) just hide who they are online. Flaming is stressful enough without extra sexism.

The first computer programmer was a woman named Ada Lovelace. The entire concept of a software compiler, which converts readable code into machine code, was invented by a woman named Grace Hopper. There have always been incredibly smart women in computing fields, and in many cases, these women were the singular bests…

My 16 year old daughter is dead set on becoming a programmer in the gaming industry. As as ex-dev myself, I have a few unique insights into the inner-workings and what she need to work toward, but she is dead focused on achieving her goal.

I think a huge part of it may be how popular online and multiplayer gaming seems to be at the moment. I’m a woman who’s a gamer and I haven’t played a lot of recent games simply because of that emphasis on online/multiplayer. I’d rather go back and play Morrowind for the 200th time than buy a game, attempt to play it,…

It depends. And many people with (visible) disabilities are getting sick of movies/TV storylines that highlight the otherness of becoming disabled. It is an important story for some.. But every disabled person isn’t defined by it, and watching an able bodied actor become an Oscar-hungry cripple is fucking tired. Being…

Wow, this study also reminds me of how many gay actors have to play straight characters, and when there ARE gay characters, they’re played by straight people. Rarely do you get gay characters played by gay actors.

People who don’t silence their phones/watch movies on planes without headphones deserve to be shot into space.

What network is putting out the show? Sounds great!
