What tipped you off? When the villainous cannibal is staring at the Sierras over a graveyard and says "MANIFEST DESTINY"?

We watched this in an intro to film class I took in high school. There's something bizarrely compelling about it. Still watch it from time to time.

Felicia Day always makes me think of Ryan's speech in Suburgatory about the way the sunshine reflects on Tessa's copper-colored hair. And by that I mean that she is pretty and has pretty red hair.

Heeeeere I am! I ain't got a dick, I got a chicken noodle can.

Not that long ago I came to the realization that I'm profoundly disappointed Kubrick never did a Moby-Dick film.

Literally in some cases. Melville provides stage directions because Ishmael is consciously making a tragic hero out of Ahab (probably, he admits, against the grain of the real man).

It might honestly be my single favorite song of theirs, but I totally understand why someone might not like it.

It's my favorite drum groove. Simple but so pure.

Yep, that's pretty much what it's like.

The point is that if "possible source of distress" is our criterion for legitimate objection, we'd better sort out what we mean by "distress," and have a clear way of identifying it.

I already said I don't think it is. I'm questioning the relevance of that to a third party.

Does a law school class qualify as an "open forum"? It seems that discussion of criminal law (much of which is bound to have unpleasant resonance) is a presupposition of it.

The text of our laws about rape is harmful?
And on what grounds do you assert this, either way? What are the criteria?

…What?

I swear I'm not being glib or facetious here, but that's exactly the problem. Who gets to decide what's "completely harmless"? From my point of view, both cases are. I don't think knowing what the law code says about rape should cause panic in a law student, nor do I think cartoon lesbians should panic a Christian

A girl I kinda know has a Tumblr with copious fan/thirst posts about these guys, often along the lines of "shut up music snobs, you're not better for not liking pop." Which is true, but an awful lot of pop fans seem to think the inverse holds true.

What's your Tumblr handle?

Penny Arcade had this covered a while ago:
