I think they might have changed recently from "all audiences" to "appropriate audiences."

They keep putting her in movies that would be mediocre either way. (And it's hard to say whether that's her fault.) She's considered a big enough name that she'll pull people into see some lame romantic comedy. And I guess Bruce Almighty making a bunch of money combined with being in tabloids for a while gave her

Well, Idris Elba has already dealt with that shit when he was in Thor. The Doctor is more iconic, but Heimdall is a Norse god, so he probably ticked off the flagrant racists more.

Both?

And so on.

Because it's taking as in taking an action. You are going for a dump.

People have rightly complained that using that phrase is condescending to the extremely more serious oppression in African-American history, so I'm reluctant to use that phrase but on the other hand: it so is.

Pacific Rim didn't do that badly, it just had to suffer the indignity of losing the weekend to an Adam Sandler sequel. Ten times Pacific Rim would be a ridiculous amount of money, and realistically Smurfs 2 will only make an excessive amount of money.

Hmm. I'd think all the actual transgender characters would be a more obvious factor, although transgenderism in anime tends to be very fantastical and idealized, so it's not necessarily particularly relatable. (Plus I guess it depends on how old you are, for what kind of anime was available at the time.)

I assume Penn State really doesn't mind if people associate their athletics program with hairy vulvas, considering the alternatives.

I unironically think that the porn industry could potentially benefit from an injection of plot and budgets into its framework. (Well, basic cable budgets as opposed to gonzo budgets, anyway.) We need a Louie of porn! Really stretch the boundaries of what can be done with the medium.

Her breasts were very important to the narrative, and I think we're merely respecting that fact.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: The Animated Series! It follows Lacuna Inc. as they get into wacky misadventures as they wipe their clients' memories. To keep Jim Carrey's face still associated with the show while wildly retconning the ending, have Joel join as a rookie employee at Lacuna after having his

It might not technically count since it wasn't really an adaptation of a whole series per se.

This Mike Scully kid keeps on writing great episodes. Clearly if he became showrunner the show would continue its great success and in no way descend into pits of mediocrity from which it would never return.

I wouldn't read much into that, it's probably just the symbolism of being the "next" century. Calling Phil a twenty-first century man would be silly if the audience also lives in the twenty-first century, even if they're at opposite ends. And Wikipedia says that Phil is from 2121 and Zenon is from 2049, so it wasn't a

It's a little known fact that Katy Perry was an ugly fat girl until she met a wizard and wished to look like Zooey Deschanel with bigger boobs.

Bob Odenkirk?

I'm getting the strangest feeling of deja vu.

I've been hearing it explicitly said that they decided to keep it a surprise.
