Feminism is not incompatible with having human failings.

They just wanted to establish that they were in control of the situation and that Buffy worked for them. They were going to give Buffy the info she needed either way.

Giles was on the Watchers Council payroll until they fired him in "Helpless", season 3 episode 12, for being too paternal. They hired him back with back-pay two seasons later. So they're not complete monsters.

Furthermore, Angel's moment of true happiness was not just an orgasm. They put that notion to bed when Angel failed to break his curse after having sex with Darla in Angel season 2. I'm not even convinced the orgasm was a specific trigger; he doesn't lose his soul with Buffy until some time after the act when they're…

If I stopped liking every artist who turned out to be a womanizer, I'd have to sell all this Prince memorabilia

Yeah, I went there once or twice to see if they had any rumors about what he was going to work on next, but it was never anything but birthday announcements of little-known actors who worked on one of his series, or links to listicle-type articles about or featuring one of those series. Then he directed Avengers and…

I think that's neat! They did something similar as a DVD extra for Harold and Kumar 2 I think…it was cool. One option ended the movie after just a few minutes with Harold and Kumar in jail.

I'm really not a huge fan myself, but it completes a sort-of trilogy that involved that Patricia Arquette superpower, which I've long thought was a very interesting touch for the series. And I believe there's a Whodini song on the soundtrack, so, awesome

I still don't order meatballs on pizza though

I think I first had this idea ten years ago, and never mentally updated it

Here's my pitch for a Freddy sequel:
So, starting with Part 3, which we all agree was the best, the series introduced this character Kristen (Patricia Arquette), who has the power to pull people into her dreams to help her out. It's basically the only supernatural thing anybody other than Freddy ever gets to do. And in…

That would have made his actions in parts 1 and 3 kind of hard to parse

Conflicting reports on that. Jake Tapper tweeted: 'Source close to Bannon: he's prepared to continue fighting for POTUS's agenda inside or outside; doesn't know what decision has been made.' Gabriel Sherman tweeted: 'Bannon friend says Breitbart ramping up for war against Trump. "It's now a Democrat White House,"…

I make a lot of cocktails that have a whiskey base (made one of these this weekend and it was a hit: http://kindredcocktails.com… ) but I think most whiskey-lovers turn their nose up at the idea of mixed drinks in general, and I don't drink anything straight up.

My thing is something I actually don't want a lot of people to know about, because I'm afraid it might change if people knew about it. I'm going to talk about this here in very vague terms, and I'll be more specific later when my podcast comes out of hiatus, since that'll have an even more limited audience.

what, the month's barely half-done

Prince isn't a bad actor, he's just a terrible scriptwriter and director. The reason a comparison to Purple Rain is apt is because it's the exact same story, about a struggling musician who lives with emotionally distant parents and tries to navigate a new relationship, culminating in a performance that's redemptive…

Is that just speculation, or did something come out? I haven't seen any news about it

Hold up though, where does Chris Pine fit into this? He's super-adjacent in Wonder Woman but otherwise regular, right? Or do like Kirk and Jack Ryan count? Either way I feel like Pratt should get bumped up a Chris

Turn around, bright eyes. (Don't look directly at the eclipse, you'll risk blindness.)
