Yeah, she'll always be Cathy in my heart.

There's a difference between being taken out of a movie because you can't stand the actor/actress and being taken out of a movie because the performer is supposed to be really good at something, yet with knowledge of that skill can tell the performer is really, really terrible. The above commenters feel that way about…

My problem is I'll play a game intensely, then need a break from it, then eventually go back to it only to discover that I've forgotten how to play it, long after the coddling tutorials-and-easy-adventures stage meant to nurture novices. So then I usually have to start the game over again, only to start the cycle…

Oh I was completely serious. That thing looked delicious.

Whoa. Whoa. I cursed my mom and instantly regretted it. I was a (young) adult, and I went too far. But 1) I don't think smacking the shit out of one's child is the answer, and 2) I wasn't a child. My saying that (unwisely and unfairly) to my mom has nothing to do with the fact that she was not one for corporal…

I did not live with her at the time (I was an adult, visiting). I am now 35 and continue to not actually live in her house. She is an amazing, wonderful woman with whom I have a very close, loving relationship, in part because she forgave me for youthful missteps like that one.

AV Club readers ask the important questions.

I was 20-something when I said "fuck" to my mom for the first time. She was being kind of a bitch, and I was tired, and I said, "oh fuck you, Mom," and the whole world stilled. My kid brother literally backed up a step. I'm genuinely surprised our relationship recovered.

I don't know, man, I think that's worse (that they gave you such a thing, not the awesome purpose for which you conscripted it). At least I could just turn in my sister's portfolio from two years before, get my A, and put that nonsense behind me; you got a literal empty hole where your marriage should be. Religion is…

See, I've never seen the consultants push them to go over budget. Now their families/friends often do (usually by pulling dresses to try on without even looking at the price tag), but the consultants usually express concern when they see this happening, and they themselves always ask budget up front (without reacting…

Yup. Last year, my amazing mom, realizing that even if I ever do get married, I'm never gonna be the big, fancy wedding type, asked me if they could contribute roughly what they spent on my older sister's wedding to help me buy a house. I wrestled with my conscience a bit — I'm 35 years old, and my parents shouldn't…

I think the problem there is internet misogynists, not the show, necessarily. That's like blaming Obama for all the internet racists.

This is true. It reminds me of my high school, which was an all-girls college prep school that spent four years putting us through rigorous academics and making it clear that they expected us all to go to college and change the world . . . and then our final religion class senior project was to plan our goddamned…

It's funny, because I have zero interests in weddings and wedding dresses, but it's rare that I don't stop and watch this show if I come across it while flipping channels (which is often). Maybe deep down inside I'm a girly girl who wants to look at pretty dresses, but really I think I just enjoy the family dynamics,…

Holy crap! And thanks for the CBS.com recommendation. For some reason getting DVR erased my memory of the fact that things can be watched online if you miss them.

I missed the episode and my damned DVR didn't record it (again). What'd she say?

I have a feeling we're never going to agree, so I'll say two things:

I can't speak for other fat ladies, but I have zero problem with someone not being attracted to me for whatever reason — because he isn't into big women, or because he doesn't like blondes, or because he doesn't like tall ladies, or because he doesn't like my personality — whatever! No one has a responsibility to be…

You're absolutely right that there are many conditions harder to deal with on a daily basis than being a fat white woman. But "oppression" is not a zero sum game.

This is absolutely true. The infuriating part is how often the men who are not attracted to large or otherwise conventionally unattractive women complain about not being able to get a woman when really what they mean is they can't get the beautiful, young, thin woman on whom they've set their sights but who has the…
