Many swimmers, cyclists, and other athletes wear earrings during their events. Maybe, just maybe, the makeup is more about being able to assert some aspect of their personalities during the sport, rather than an attempt to "look sexy."

You know, I don't really think it's outright sexism. I just think that Sorkin has become an extremely lazy writer who, because of his personal life, thinks he "gets" the difference between men and women, and thus has started (or has always, with exceptions) writing female characters through his filter of what he…

As I said above, the concept of sexual orientation is fairly recent (as in the past several hundred years), so the words Paul uses in the New Testament are incorrectly translated as "homosexual." Past translations include things like "the effeminate." It's possible and probable that this was a term used for men who…

Terrible joke construction. I could literally guess the punchline after the first sentence and a half.

Shit, all that looks awesome.

Fooling around with my boyfriend after not seeing him for a summer (during college). I just told him to do it. Even though the relationship ended up being shitty, I have no regrets.

"making love:" yay or nay? In theory I'm for it, since it more accurately describes the sex I have; in actuality, I have never been able to make myself say it seriously.

@WrongSirWrong:disqus Yes actually. The line was written by Joss Whedon, and he's said on record several times that the line was supposed to be fairly deadpan and shrugged off, instead of what Berry did with it. Honestly, it's such a small line that it's only famous for poor delivery.

Also, I really want to note that my dislike of the movie itself was more than the dislike of the ending. The ending just revealed that the filmmakers didn't really understand the material they had created or the implications of what ultimately happened. It seemed like they wanted to play in the dark aspects of…

It's not that it's a downer ending. It's that it's played like a happy ending, and not like the fucked up relationship that it actually was. The dissonance between the two really undermined the whole film.

How would you distinguish between those two things?
