I prefer how the phrase was used in Veep, when a congressman proclaimed that he did not want "the Midas touch from Jenny Shitfinger."

Her crime isn't really perjury, it's blasphemy. She swore a vow to the gods and then betrayed them. To the Faith Militant, that warrants death.

Remember the Maine!

Yeah, they definitely didn't forget about Nolan. The line about "one for you, one for me" sums his recent career up perfectly. While Inception and Interstellar turned out to be big hits, they could've quite easily NOT been and they certainly weren't crafted in the traditional blockbuster mold — they still struck me as…

Oh my god I loved that movie so much as a kid. Between the electroshock therapy, the Wheelers, and the screaming heads, that movie had so many terrifying scenes and I loved it.

I liked him on Miracles, which was a surprisingly good show.

He doesn't need to be handsome, he just needs to have good breeding.

Transformers is pretty crap, true. But I think there are other shows, like Pirates of Dark Water and EXO-Squad, that were creative and well done and still hold up fairly well.

Suck your cake, Jonah.

I think of Lifetime and A&E equally as being trashy jokes, actually.

I already noted several prominent Civil War and reconstruction historians who have noted the role that Gone with the Wind played in helping to solidify the Lost Cause. Whatever, it's time for me to leave work and this debate isn't turning productive any time soon.

Setting aside that "escapist literature" and "culturally important work" are not mutually exclusive, yes, Gone with the Wind is absolutely considered a culturally important work. Based on the awards it has won (the article you're trashing even notes the Pulitzer it won), the recognition it's received from the Library…

And she wasn't just being racist — she was writing about how great and noble the southern planter society was despite its being built upon the institution of slavery!

You don't think the most popular book in America during the 20th century, which presented a perspective thoroughly seeped in the Lost Cause, had any impact on people's views of southern society and the Civil War? Well, you're entitled to that POV, but I disagree quite thoroughly and there are plenty of historians who…

"Not sure how to respond to an article that can't fathom how an southern
woman in the 1930's, despite being somewhat feminist, could still
actually be racist. What would you expect her to be?"

You can go read David Blight's excellent book A Slave No More: Two Men Who Escaped to Freedom, Including Their Own Narratives of Emancipation.

You mean Rosie the Riveter wasn't some kind of pirate?

Let's be clear: it is nonsense to suggest that Lost Cause apologia is okay because "everybody thought like that." Everybody didn't think like that. A lot of people back then condemned those concepts. "The times" are not an acceptable justification for being wrong when there's enough evidence to know what wrong is.

No, she wasn't. She remained on the show while she was pregnant, and her pregnancy was worked into the storyline.

I imagine there are a lot of people out there like me, whose only knowledge of Carol Danvers is as the woman whose powers (and personality elements) Rogue stole, back when Rogue was a villain. And then Rogue became a hero, and Carol Danvers came back as a villain to try to steal her powers back. Or something.
