After some googling, I found out she's playing Anastasia's mother who, I understand, has a fairly small part in the first book and all but disappears from the next two. So hopefully she won't do too much damage to her career by appearing in this surely terrible movie.

Jennifer Ehle?! Jennifer Ehle?!?!?! What is Elizabeth Bennet doing attached to this monstrosity?! At least, please God, tell me she's playing Christian's mom and not his "Mrs. Robinson" statutory-rapist-sadomasochistic-abuser!!!

Same here. I love that shirt!

When his character was introduced my friend and I started calling him "poor man's Matt Damon" and pretty soon it turned into "homeless man's Matt Damon". From now on he will forever be Meth Damon.

If you seriously can't decide whether it's worth your time to watch it, then you should go ask someone who actually knows you and knows your taste and has also watched Breaking Bad, if they think you'd like the show, rather than asking a bunch of strangers, in a post praising how amazing the show is and how perfect…

"Meth Damon" is pure gold. Or rather, pure blue.

You really think Walt was portrayed as a "noble hero" i.e. a man with a strong moral code who is admired for his courage and convictions? If so, I can only say that I think you weren't paying attention. In the end, Walt was portrayed as a broken, empty man who had lost everything that ever mattered to him. He made…

I thought the same thing because of all the supposedly risque BDSM-style sex in the books. Then I read Jenny Trout's recaps. Now I think they'll have to re-write it to keep Christian Grey from coming off like a rapist and Anastasia Steele like a mental deficient.

Jenny Trout's teardown of the books, not of Charlie Hunnam. Stand down, vmarie.

At first glance, I thought this was Gillian Anderson!

I've met many republicans who are thoughtful, honest, caring people who have a conservative fiscal outlook and a liberal to libertarian social outlook.

Years ago Frontline had an episode about elder care and assisted living. They quoted a study that said a person had to have three daughters or daughters-in-law in order to have at least a 50/50 chance to not end up in a nursing home. So apparently it's not only important to have a daughter, it's important to have a…

Even though I KNOW they have wrapped filming on Season 3, that it will air (in England) in January (probably New Years Day, as Season 2 did) and that I will be watching it in some form definitely before the next 6 months.... I still have a hard really believing it.

I just wanted to tell you that I don't think anything about your original comment made it sound like you were envious of women who get harassed, or that you were lamenting missing out on being harassed, etc. I'm the heaviest now that I've ever been and I never get harassed or hit on or garner any random male…

Ditto. I would be mortified beyond belief if left a blood stain on someone else's mattress. Accidents happen, of course, but then you're supposed to take steps to mitigate the damage. What kind of literally shameless animal stains a borrowed bed with blood and apparently just shrugs it off like it ain't no thang?!

Short, friendly, response: Your original comment sounded like something the "young professional" who submitted this letter to Jezebel would say to defend herself. My response to your comment was to obliquely and facetiously accuse you of being said young professional.

The blood stains were probably a result of sexytimes, IMO. If you're going to fuck in someone else's bed, especially while you're on your period, how do you not take every reasonable measure to ensure that your body fluids don't stain the linens, let alone the mattress?! What kind of depraved lunatic removes the…

Next time just spare yourself the trouble of defending yourself in the comments and don't submit the evidence of your jackassery in the first place.

Oh, I know exactly how to deal with that. I have a friend who tried to convince me that it was sooo sexy and that I should read it. I told her that I didn't care for the book and would definitely not be reading it. She then proceeded to talk to me like I was some blushing Victorian bride, telling me how the book…

Depending on what day of my period it is, a guy yanking my tampon out is going to get hit by a clot. Sexy!
