Thanks! And yes, Burt!! <3

Long-time lurker, first-time commenting. I have wanted to create an account for a while but could not come up with a good name. I laughed so hard that I cried and snorted. I am now and forever, cock-blocktopus.

"Stay in the house, Carl!"

Can we please discuss the fact that Natalie is sexually harassed by the President, and then when the PM sees it he doesn't say anything and Natalie spends the rest of the movie apologizing for her own harassment?!? Crappy plot lines are one thing, but encouraging the idea that women are at fault for being harassed is…

establishing Love, Actually's central moral lesson

I like Love Actually, but this is so hilarious and fairly accurate. Lindy, I love you and if I wasn't so attached to my current one, I would seriously consider changing my username to "The Cock-Blocktopus."

Dunno, the composition and lighting? It's a really cool candid.

To be fair, hispanic Karl also says about 3 words the entire movie and gets objectified to all hell. I guess it doesn't work out when the gender roles are reversed?

I saw that movie when it came out and learned an important lesson: If you are a woman past thirty five, dust off your bedside-sittin' chair and your Joni Mitchell CD, sister, because Love is Actually for men of all ages and levels of lumpiness, and the hot young things they chase. Women over 35 get to be wise, but…

How.Dare.You.

For more context, the author ("Tumblr user Theremina") is Meredith Yayanos, a magazine publisher (Coilhouse), blogger, and professional musician, who’s performed with The Parlour Trick, The Dresden Dolls, Kim Boekbinder, and more. She’s an incredible woman and a dear friend. I trust her account of these events…

I think people making accusations like that and silencing those who have experienced extreme things like this is a self fulfilling prophecy. Because you throw shit at it every time you hear it, you keep people from speaking up. Even when you say "I will give her the benefit of the doubt" you do so explicitly in order…

I work in Manhattan, not too far from the Fox News studios, and I'm pretty sure Megyn Kelly's head just exploded.

This is as much for the "genius-level IQ" line as everything else.

I'm responding to you, because it seems more likely to generate actual thoughtful commentary than just responding to *wrinkles nose* the above.
