Could you elaborate on the 'portrays drag in a negative light' part of your friends' feelings? I'm fascinated by this.

I was at my car dealership when this was playing, sitting in the waiting room. There was one guy holding supreme control of the TV remote; he used it to switch off of Obama's speech, and over to a Martin Lawrence movie.

I tend to speak a bit like Daria in real life as well, so monotone sympathy for you.

Realistically I'd get deported and have my ship sunk out in the sea, or just get chucked into the radioactive wastelands. But a girl can hope for a life of servitude, no?

She also wishes that young women would stop "being so negative about men and marriage," and agrees that that attitude comes "from feminists."

The sad concessions we make just to convince our colleagues that we aren't going to wear their skin and eat their children.

I feel like I've had a whole new world opened to me. I always associated vocal fry with young women (particularly Britney Spears). The stoner angle never occurred to me.

Yessss. I use emoticons rarely, and exclamation points almost as infrequently. The common response to this are the people I communicate with via text calling me intimidating.

I watched it a couple of months ago, and it isn't that graphic. They do show several of the orcas' scars, one or two open wounds, and a few instances of the orcas dragging their trainers around the pool. Nothing excessively bloody or gory, though I think the descriptions of things which occurred are plenty graphic. If…

I think we're both basically on the same page when it comes to how we view the game itself. I'm in a similar boat — reservations about its presentation and how it functions, but simultaneously I appreciate the need for having a woman-oriented space which is reasonably true to the books. (As horribly stereotypical as…

D'aww, thanks!

Yes, and? The game doesn't require men to sign up for an account in order to run or succeed. And if it comes down to characters, women are just as capable of taking on a male avatar as they are female avatars.

The thing I'm most pleasantly startled by are the comments on the Polygon article. The vast majority of them are supportive and positive. A gaming community which doesn't shit on unconventional gaming? No, that can't be right.

I... am not sure I'd want to list being a dog lover as my actual occupation. I mean, dogs are the best, but being a professional dog lover? That seems like it'd be illegal.

In the case of Constantine, it's an especial shame because John is all about emotion. He is a smart, smarmy, smug son of a bitch who jeers and grins and cares about the world just a hair too much to be the proper bastard everyone thinks he is. I think Keanu can be properly cast in a great many things, but Constantine…

I've heard excellent things about bits and pieces — Tilda most often, no surprise there — but conceptually it just seems weak. Something that could have stood on its own without the whole John Constantine angle. It's just a shame, because that character is ripe for a few well-done movies, or even a short-length…

I really want to watch the scene you described, but I just can't overcome my equally irrational hatred for Keanu Reeves as Constantine.

Because of right wing media and Twitter snark, right?

I don't see the point in judging the actress by her physical appearance. Her casting has just been announced, and she has done zero training for the role as yet. If Christian Bale can go from The Machinist to Batman, I don't see why Gadot can't go from Hollywood standard to Diana of Themyscira.

I think there's loads of positive things to be said for Marvel's strategy, and for DC/WB's adopting it as part of their own. If WB could combine Marvel's current strategy with the storytelling strength they've used in the animated DC universe, we could wind up with some really great movies rather than the weak…
