I agree @avclub-23c97e9cb93576e45d2feaf00d0e8502:disqus, his premise there was shaky.

Meh, no stupider than any other sci-fi conceit. Fast genetic modification is just as silly as FTL travel currently. Or plasma guns. It's a genre built on, not just the suspension, but the complete removal of disbelief

Eh, that's why I usually don't listen to or read about creator comments. I prefer to interpret artistic works based on what I personally get out of them. This is why i so enjoy Tolkein's comments about not reading anything into his books. Sure there was probably a lot of stuff influenced by his feelings and real life…

They may have abolished slavery first, but it didn't stop them from thinking really long and hard about supporting the Confederacy and it certainly didn't stop them from importing all that sweet sweet slave picked cotton.

Well, according to John Denver, West Virginia is "Almost heaven" so therfore Canada is like a slightly better West Virginia. So…..Canada is like Virginia.

I'm not apologizing for the movie, there are of things it does with Kinkuchi that I don't like. For instance, I didn't like how submissive they made her towards Pentecost. I also think having her as the only speaking role for women was a mistake. I just disagree with some of your interpretations, like I said in the…

The scene where Raleigh "fights for her honor" shows A) Raleigh cares for her and B) she's much smarter than Raleigh. She's willing to let the egotistical Aussie go his own way and be a douchebag elsewhere, but Raleigh purposefully endangers the entire program by fighting him and almost breaking his arm. If Raleigh…

I disagree with a lot of your interpretations here. Mako clearly CAN handle the mech, because, well, she does. And I didn't know being interested in members of the opposite sex and piloting mechs were mutually exclusive. Next, it's Raleigh who causes the shit to go down on the first Gipsy Danger trial, because he…

Besides, everything south of I-80 might as well be Missouri.

Is @avclub-6aadc19cb15cf2c38c0b2aa5b43fd362:disqus trying to end a telegram?

Yeah, at least Goebbels had the decency to kill himself.

A higher risk for certain types. Not necessarily a higher percentage with disease (he has yet to prove that). About 1 in 4 straight people have or have had an STD, that's what they taught us in sex-ed. So I bet he doesn't shake a LOT of hands. Well, that is if he's not just singling out homosexuals….

First off, it's not my homework jackass. You spouted the bullshit in the first place, it's your job to back it up with facts. I notice you cite no sources other than "The mayo clinic says." So I googled the mayo clinic and homosexuality and found that they say "All men have certain health risks. Gay men and men who…

There was one post regarding Tumblr's reaction to the Oberyn Martell casting, in which it was mentioned that Tumblr was praising the casting of a person of color while simultaneously decrying it as "whitewashing." There was not "plenty" of any jeering of this. There was a discussion of it it, in which several people…

If it makes you feel better, seeing this movie convinced me that Rinko Kikuchi is really attractive.

The U.N speeches by Idris Elba were my favorite part of the movie.

I second the liking of the ending. It tied things up grandly.

Oddly enough @avclub-7e1ce4ce3124fd9ecc13a151afcff11b:disqus, I have every single Hellboy graphic novel, the only ones that I collect, and yet I preferred Hellboy 1. That's not to say I didn't like Hellboy 2, I did, but the settings and the Rasputin's of the first were more pleasing to me.

Russia still I think.

You made the point (ludicrously) that homosexuals have a letent "heterophobia" and then followed it up by saying "a dislike of reproductive sex?" What was I supposed to get out of that? Or do you often just type in non-sequitur? But maybe you're right, maybe I was giving you too much credit when I interpreted your…
