Even then, it would have been a mistake to go up against David Tennant. But now it’s just bonkers.

Even her favorite example, cis women who are assaulted by trans women in bathrooms, is a total non problem when compared with trans folk being harrassed and assaulted for daring to use a bathroom in public.
The thing is, Rowling was perfectly likable before she randomly decided to make “trans people want to rape me in the bathroom” her entire personality.
That is the thing, its all hypothetical “think of the women” bullshit with the terfs. They find one case where someone , who may or may not actual be trans, does something wrong and then they say “Look, this is all trans people everywhere!!!!”. They also cherry pick data worse then climate change deniers.
Yes I do often hear of hate crimes against transphobes, where Transwomen beat little old ladies with brickbats while saying “CALL ME A WOMAN!”
Rowling is doing an amazing job getting into arguments with people infinitely more likable than she is.
She’s a bigot. When your bigotry alienates people who used to respect you, the only people left are other bigots. The bigotry of the other bigots reinforces and intensifies your bigotry. That’s basically how racist Facebook uncles are born.
Ah the never ending game of asshole or idiot!
Or she is just an asshole. Hard to separate out all that
Her episodes are some of my favorites. She’s one of my favorites; I love it whenever she pops up in a show or movie.
“She has no scruples, no ethics, and no reflection!” is where I completely lost it when I originally watched this.
Best scene ever, with my favorite line from Frasier’s entire run:
Great piece, and agree that Spider-Man 2 is the best superhero movie ever made. There’s so much humanity in it that watching it in contrast to some of the MCU movies feels like they were made on different planets.
I liked the CW because it had so much more genre content than the other networks. Like the network equivalent of sci-fi b-movies that occasionally strayed into something more.
Except that the CW’s 58-year-old audience was watching the CW! Clearly they (we) liked that programming, even if it was ostensibly targeted at a younger audience. Rather than stick with what drew us to the network, they’re going to give us the same crap we could have watched elsewhere if we had wanted to.
What killed The CW was ending their contract with Netflix. Warner and CBS really never made any money through airing ads on TV. They made the money by selling their shows to Netflix and international markets. Warner and CBS decided that the CW shows were worth more to HBO Max and CBS All Access (back when they were…
Yeah, he ain’t wrong. Like, most everything CW put out was schlock, but it was fun schlock, and sometimes they had a genuine gem (well, at least until they inevitably ran it way too long and things got weird and/or bad... and sometimes even that was fun to see how wild things could get). And as cable dies its slow…
They can’t hang on to just Fassbender, McAvoy and Jackman if they’re going that route — it’s either the entire cast of Dark Phoenix, or a full recast.
I guess I agree, I can lose most of them. I think I didn’t exactly mean big stars but like even like the cadre of up and comers who they had for the last go-round, even if they didn’t all turn out to be great choices, at least at the time Tye Sheridan and the like were at the level where they were emerging and you…
Just want to rant into the wind at All the mentions/comments about how ‘exhausting’ a combined universe of characters can be - like, have you people Read comics? How about, I don’t know, Books? Have you watched TV shows that go beyond A season? This stuff isn’t new - and this is the first time it’s been attempted at…
