I’m confused, how can this not impact his pension? He didn’t get to retire, which I thought was the qualification of a 100% salary/year pension? Or maybe he had that 20 years of service option. Just wondering, really.

The shows may revel in deconstructing costumed crimefighters—taking apart capitalism, celebrity, fandom, ego, power, and exploitation—but the content criticizing and satirizing superheroes is still marketed using the same channels in the same ways.

I get that there’s an obvious salary difference and we’re talking about skilled profession over manual labor, but that doesn’t make me responsible for rounding out someone else’s wage.

Agreed. Also, specifically about a tow truck driver that works for an insurance dispatch like AAA - why exactly should I tip them? Insurance is something you pay into just in case you need it, and you usually don’t, which means you actually have been paying for that jumpstart for years and ultimately, you’ve OVERPAID…

Everyone once in a while I’ll read an article about Remini and her anti-Scientology campaign and I’ll catch myself thinking “move on from this already,” but then I remember that the people behind Scientology are fucking evil and ruin peoples’ lives and I think - actually Leah, continue to fuck their shit up and don’t…

Whew, Maiysha - you taught me a lot today, thank you for these words. Also, when I read this

Gargoyles is the best part of D+. You couldn’t find episodes of that show ANYWHERE until D+ included it!

God bless you. She’s a moron. Her apology only proves that she has no conception of groups outside of her own bubble and she’s only interested in learning when shit blows up in her face.

I actually did see the Jenna Dewan clip and it doesn’t look at all like that’s what she said, but I guess drama trumps reason once again!

This woman is a moron, plain and simple. Stop asking her questions, please. Stop allowing her to do press for her mostly shitty acting, please. She seems so vastly unintelligent that I wonder why anyone bothers anymore.

Right. Someone commented above that the context of that quote from Lucas was about the lack of technological advancement in the film, not the quality of the film itself, which makes a lot of sense and recontextualizes the whole conversation.

That’s really great context, thank you for sharing that. It seems negligent that the article doesn’t mention that.

I really enjoy how classy JJ’s response is. You can tell he knows how this game is played and doesn’t want to get messy about it all, despite the fact that George Lucas (though I agree with his criticism of TFA) doesn’t really have a leg to stand on here considering his original cuts of the original films and the…

Hmm I just reread it, and I guess you’re right - she just changes her answer mid-sentence, I guess that’s why I was confused. It’s also Luanne, so *shrug*

1. What happened to this movie? Wasn’t it supposed to come out almost a year ago? I remember seeing trailers for it in theaters ages ago.

Well, I’m gonna have to eff Dorinda, because we just made up, and there’s nothing like makeup sex. I’ll have Sonja along, because she exudes sex appeal. I call her my little Sonja-rita. So I’ll have sex with her and cheat on Dorinda.

And I oop.

I’m with you on this one.

We are self-made women at this table, who have lived very interesting lives.

How are there no comments on this???
