I don't know if it's mainstream (and I don't think it's a series), but Grasshopper Jungle is being adapted by Edgar Wright and has a main character who's a bisexual boy.

I can see why Dorian's plot would feel forced, but I also think that it makes sense for the brutal, hyper-regimented nature of Tevinter for homosexuality to be so taboo, and I think it especially works with Dorian's story arc, where the rejection from his family for his gayness serves as the catalyst for him realizing

Space Jam was a staple of my childhood and was one of those things I just accepted as existing because why WOULDN'T there be a Looney Tunes/NBA crossover movie? I don't know if I could handle it as a fully formed adult, and ESPECIALLY not with LeBron.

Well, if you're going to post something ill-considered on a public space and then double down on that ill consideration when people engage you on the conversation that you started…I'm not exactly overwhelmed by pity.

It amazes me that people can look at Captain Marvel and Spider-Gwen's costumes—costumes which may not have full boob, but are still infinitely more body-conforming and unforgiving than most women would ever wear—and think that they're somehow frumpy or modest.

I think that a lot of people are very charmed by the egomaniac part because RDJ is so charming, so there's little incentive to spend time in a huge ensemble movie exploring the depth of Tony's character. That's fine, but I find Tony insufferable without the added dimension of deep-seated trauma, so IM3 was a pleasant

Thor: The Dark World is my sister's favorite MCU entry, exclusively because she loves Tom Hiddleston, which blows my mind, because my biggest problem with TDW is that it couldn't even salvage its bad parts by giving me satisfying Loki time.

Sam Rockwell is so delightful that even though I think IM2 is the worst MCU film, I've still seen it multiple times.

Mine is:

I like Steve Rogers and his sad man blandness because it means you get less Tony Stark snarky bullshit and don't have to deal with the mystical fuckery of Thor, though Thor might be my favorite Avenger by sheer virtue of being the most absurd.

IM3 is one of my favorite MCU movies. I love its treatment of the Mandarin, I like the PTSD angle, I like that Pepper finally gets something to do, and I think that Shane Black writes Tony Stark much, much more interestingly than Joss Whedon does (I'm generally a gigantic Whedon fan, but I'm consistently amazed at how

I don't know, there are a lot of people who have seen maybe the first Iron Man, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Age of Ultron if they're feeling particularly ambitious who probably can't be assed to figure out how everything else interconnects. I highly doubt that those people are reading the AV Club but who

I liked Ant-Man a lot more than I expected to (and I had a feeling I was going to like it because of my longtime Paul Rudd passion). It slogged a bit in the middle but it had one of my favorite climaxes out of all of the MCU films—it's nice to see a set piece that amounts to more than just a constant stream of

Yeah, it doesn't necessarily make me uncomfortable because I do think that his reaction probably comes from a place of authentic disgust rather than pure Machiavellian calculation, but I also don't think he has the most nuanced or important take on the issue.

Major props for the Girl Next Door shoutout, though. I see u, lafergs, I see u.

Judging by some of the storyline and character decisions on Glee, I'm not sure that Ryan Murphy even knows what trans people are, let alone gives a shit about them.

I'm glad that this was an important enough comment for you to treat us to multiple times in multiple places.

The avalanche was coming from inside the house!

"kids today google, not giggle. they play angry birds instead of getting angry AT birds. they all have an ipad but no iq. not even one. they playstation but they never play station. i.e. one pretending to be a train and the others pretending to be different trains or low paid maintenance workers. they’re obsessed with

I met Ryan Seacrest when I was 12 because my friend's mom worked on American Idol and she brought us to the set one day. He was super nice and engaging with child me so I can't bring myself to make fun of him, even though I would dearly, dearly like to.
