Actually, only about 20% of all prisoners are in for drug crimes -although that percentage would be higher in a federal women's facility. Ending the drug war wouldn't end America's prison problem.

Even when I got rid of most of my other comics, I had to keep these. Sure, rereading them you do discover the unmistakable traces of racism, sexism, colonialism, and repressed homosexuality that you missed the first time. But who can't help root for a scrappy little guy who catches crooks around the world?…

I just got back from seeing it, and I'm not even sure the ending was the worst part. This movie has a scene where Pattison breaks a classroom window to intimidate a 6th grader and one where his girlfriend blurts out, "my mom was murdered in front of me," while having dinner with him and his dad. The ending was awful,…

This was my introduction to the Whedon-verse
I theater-hopped to see this movie, loved it, then came back and paid to see it again. I gave all of Whedon's work a second look after years as a hater, and now I love his stuff and have caught up with most of it.

Deep Sea Monsters in Endless Ocean
Getting to swim around lots of really weird creatures was pretty cool.

"Ellen might be thinking with her dick"
This is just as messed up as when people said Lady Gaga had a penis. When you insult a bisexual or gay woman by implying they're transgender or intersex, you're also insulting all of bisexual, gay, transgender, and/or intersex women who read what you write.

Where's Whiskey/Dr. Saunders?
Why wasn't she at the Dollhouse where we left her in Epitaph One? Why couldn't she have been part of the crowd of imprints who got their original personalities back?

I saw Neon Genesis Evangelion just before going off to undergrad, and I made it my mission in life to get everyone to see the series. I made a rule for myself that I couldn't rewatch the series unless someone else was watching it with me for the first time, and that served as a powerful incentive to push…

Was this that weird show where…
…a segment ended by cutting away to an animator yelling: "I can't take it any more!" That kind of summed up my feelings about it then, but revisiting it could be really interesting.

Captain Power?
Surely you mean Captain Planet. And how did it take this long for someone to catch this?

Have you seen Nine yet?
I was hoping it would be among the year's best.

Youtube has it here: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

A genderqueer friend of mind thinks the ending means Hedwig was really a drag queen all along, and now "he" is ready to live as a gay man; I strongly disagreed because Hedwig helped me come out as a trans woman. I pointed out that JCM referred to Hedwig as a woman in interviews, but I acknowledged his perception of…

I love Midnight Radio too; check out Cyndi Lauper's cover of it from the "Wig in a Box" CD if you haven't heard it yet.

I got a mule and her name is Sal
@Leonard: surely you've heard of that one -or did you end up hating it after being forced to sing it in elementary school?

@Serious Poster: I looked it up and found Penn named his daughter "Moxie CrimeFighter" -with the capitalized "F" an intentional part of the name. It's certainly one of the more bizarre name's I've heard of, but it doesn't give me more respect for Penn. I think that most of us could think of something equally…

Hmmm…. it's been 10 years since I saw it (damn I'm getting old) and I'd see it again for restored scenes, preparation to watch the sequel, and curiosity for how I'll take it now compared to then. However, a third viewing would be at least another few decades off.

Sanshiro Sugata
This is a martial arts film, but it focuses more on the protagonist's philosophical development than the fight scenes. I was lucky enough to see part one at UChicago's film series on Kurosawa. The print had some missing footage, and I wonder if they've managed to find it for the DVD. In any case, fans…

The novel's Jack is almost the polar opposite of Depp's character. I don't see any kind of way they could make this work.

We should have a Queer Cult Canon month
My one big big request is that it have Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a movie helped give a lot of transgender people the courage to transition. Before taking that step, many of us are afraid that as we go from one gender to the other that we'll fall through the cracks and never be…
