I don't get most of the comments either, although I understand the bewilderment. Maybe his revelation should be obvious. But I accept that, as a man, I'll never be able to approach an understanding of what it actually feels like to be a woman vis-à-vis beauty standards unless I walk around in convincing drag like he…

I know next to nothing about Card, this book, or this movie, but yeah, if I was a betting man, I'd bet on this movie losing money.
Holy cow that's a well-written Newswire. Kudos, O'Neal! Maybe the enjoyment I get out of Travolta being mocked for his closeted-ness and Scientology comes from a place of sympathy. You'll be free one day, John. Just keep making movies filled with silly non-plane stuff.

How 'bout that total Simpsons reaction at the end?
