Coincidentally, I saw a terrible Chinese movie this weekend (Happiness Me Too) that has an abortion-related subplot. There's this middle-aged woman who loves her husband, but he's an playboy asshole and refuses to give her the child she desperately craves. He does, however, knock up one of his various lovers, so he…

My favorite part of the C-section/abortion sequence is how she just crawls out of the thing afterwards and immediately starts walking and running again. I don't care if it's the future, you're not going to be walking around right after a massively invasive procedure like that. Even better is how the occasional shots…

The inevitable fate of all acronymed cable channels. The Nashville Network was officially just "TNN" for a short period before they gave up and changed to Spike, "AMC" just stands for "AMC" now, and I don't think IFC uses "Independent Film Channel" anymore.
