Thank god for Dick Grayson, that's all I'm saying.

The idealization of male bodies in comic books tends to skew toward male power fantasies rather than being sexually attractive toward women, anyway. I know very few women who read comics and are like, "Yes, Thick McRunfast, that's what really gets me going."

Holy shit, feeling marginalized is a choice? I'm cured! You've opened up my eyes! Nobody's misrepresenting your opinion, FYI. You're just saying stupid shit.

"Comic discussion forums" and dudes who chill in comic book stores hardly represent the be all end all of comic book fans. Women feel marginalized from those places for a reason, and a lot of it stems from dudebros pretending that sexism doesn't exist in comics. You've got flawed epistemology, bro.

This is such a hilariously inane comment. I'm not even touching that first paragraph—but seriously, why is "yeah, it's shitty, but it's always been shitty so it's ok!" somehow a valid argument? And I'd love to see some stats on how most of the people complaining have never read a comic. Show your sources, buddy.

I was forced to watch some mini-documentary in a low-level psychology class once that featured Rollins on the quest to get himself tested for some kind of "rage gene." He was convinced that he had to have this gene that "makes people angry" because that was the only way he could he the hateful douchebag he was. He got

But to describe suicide as "selfish" is to ascribe a motive to it—to be selfish fundamentally has to do with the purpose behind an action, not whatever objective reality bullshit you're talking about. A person isn't being selfish if they genuinely believe that they are acting in the best interest of their loved ones.

The worst part for me was that this was a movie I watched with my parents. My mom had just bought it on VHS and apparently decided that sitting down and watching it with the second-grader was a good idea (she also intentionally introduced me to Twin Peaks at age 9, so who the hell knows). For many years I hid the VHS

I watched a lot of R-rated movies and usually they didn't bother me (in fact, the only other movie from my childhood that truly terrified me was Little Shop of Horrors, which made me cry in fear whenever I saw a plant for the next six months or so), but I can distinctly remember being disturbed by the sitcom scene in

The first time I saw Natural Born Killers I was seven years old (I was never prohibited from watching anything as a kid) and it scared the shit out of me, like sobbing nightmares kind of scared, because obviously I had no idea what was going on. Now that I am an adult, I know that its violence shouldn't be

Not to mention killing off Alcide. Fuck you, True Blood!

I hated all the Hoyt and Jessica stuff—I always liked them together, but once Hoyt left the show I was ready for them to be done. And spending all that time with Hoyt's (ex)-girlfriend was painful. Ginger was the only tolerable part of this episode. This was beyond horrible.

The fact that he looks like he's going to die is a major component of the attraction for me.

I'll settle for bulge in a pinch.

But Michael Fassbender's face is at least half of why I watch his movies in the first place (the other half is his dong).

The Seeker remains one of the most infuriating movie adaptations in recent memory. The Dark Is Rising were some of my favorite books as a kid, all spooky and magical and making me want to go to Cornwall. The movie was execrable. And the less I say about The Golden Compass, the better. How can a movie get the casting

I passionately hated this book as a kid and I have no idea why. All I know now is that I have a weird, sadistic joy knowing the adaptation was poorly done that I don't really WANT to feel but feel all the same.

I will still end up seeing this because I have huge crushes on both Dane Dehaan AND Aubrey Plaza, but dear god even the trailer was atrocious. Haha! She's dead! Jokes or something!

She was so lovable in Clueless, which is my go-to movie when I'm trying to cheer myself up. I have to disassociate the actress from the character now because otherwise the movie won't serve its purpose.

Her involvement makes me almost as sad as when she was part of the horrible "Luke has a secret daughter" storyline on Gilmore Girls.
