And that's supposed to make me want to like your comment? The first half (about there being only one woman writer) was a really good point, but The Doctor's Wife is easily one of my 5 favorite episodes of the reboot (probably top 3, depending on my mood that day) and despite its faults, Nightmare in Silver was the…

I'm trying so hard not to respond to any of these gray comments. io9 usually isn't too bad, but the angry internet dudes are apparently out in full force today.

No. You do not mess with Big Fish.

Really? I loved the book. I really enjoyed the movie, too, but for me it was more of a "good in different ways" kind of thing.

Movie thread time!

If you stop wearing crop tops at 34, how will they know you have a belly-button piercing after the age of 35? Or do you have to take it out between 35 and 40, but once you stop wearing bikinis you can wear it again?

I'm always a little weirded out when I see her with normal hair. I really can't think of a movie I've seen her in where her hair didn't look like a character in its own right.

It was all guys getting dirty and being guys.

It definitely is. Thank you.

I'd expand that last one to be Realizing You Don't Have to Explain Yourself. Someone doesn't like your religion/politics/life choices? Well, bully for them. They can go dislike your choices somewhere else while you continue not giving a fuck about their opinion.

Eek! Fortunately (?) the size I am right now I'd have to get it tailored a bit anyway, so that would be a good chance to fix up any seams that need help. (And also to see about adding pockets, because that was actually the best idea anyone ever had for a wedding dress.)

It's totally possible that I already own my wedding dress. When/if I eventually get married, I'll probably try some others on, but there's a very good candidate hanging in my mother's closet. It's my great-grandmother's dress from something pageant-related in the 40s or 50s, and it's just gorgeous. Off-white, cap…

God made staplers for a reason.

Between their lack of understanding about science and the way they don't seem to have even a rough grasp on how teenagers think, I'm beginning to think that most conservative legislators just didn't go to high school. Or middle school. Or any school, maybe, since most of them also appear to have missed the lessons…

Random thoughts:

I knew something was bothering me about that!

I wonder what the data is on girls doing math in high school vs college. I can't really remember elementary school, but I know when I was in high school my AP Calc classes had barely more girls. (Although in middle school there was a group of us in the classes a grade ahead, and it was me and six guys, thus proving…

I saw this a while back and I think it's great, even if I have no faith that it will change the minds of anyone I know. The pro-life/anti-birth control thing pisses me off to no end. I have a friend who's adamantly pro-life and the moment she said "see, here's the thing about birth control" was the moment I stopped…

I just remembered that Aunt Nancy is one of the names for Anansi. Wedding etiquette is probably different for trickster gods, now that I think of it.
