Why, Jack Strawb, I completely agree with you. One's attractiveness to one's partner DOES reasonably correlate to the weight and level of fitness that one finds attractive in another. Too bad that doesn't actually have anything to do with PoodaChuts' post or the conversation at hand.

Jesus, where were your parents?

God, I know, all those fat bitches demanding to still be treated like human beings even though they're SO FAT. I mean, men are never obese despite being culturally expected to be more sedentary and domestic, not to mention bearing children; why can't women shape the fuck up so men don't have to bang no fatties?

You know, I agreed with you when the first Sharknado came out. I adore bad sci-fi movies. ADORE THEM. But Sharknado seemed so calculated that I could not approve. Even watching the movie, it just didn't do it for me. I was ready to sniff and raise my chin haughtily towards the Sharknado phenomenon. But then, oh but…

You didn't even need to see the first one to understand the first one.

Where do whales go?

Oh I completely agree. I just meant that the overall narrative arc of the books is ridiculously conventional. I read them so I could weigh in on the exploitative/empowering debate only to discover that not only are they most certainly not empowering, they're also downright old-fashioned for the most part (and the…

Hey, whoa, as a Single Crazy Cat Lady, let me tell you I'd rather spend a hundred Valentine's Days making sweaters out of my cats' hair than watching this stupid stupid movie.

Yeah, and then he's all like, "Well, shit, why didn't you use the safe word?" God it's so stupid.

Is there AIR? YOU don't know!

It could also help explain why Ned was so dead-set against assassinating Dany (besides just being a decent human being who's not down with killing children because of their last name). If he knows that Dany's whole family was killed because his sister ran off with Dany's brother (and because Dany's father was a…

Not to mention that Jon Snow's origin was really only mentioned in the first couple of episodes. Since then, he's been "Ned's bastard" but not "Ned's bastard that he specifically came back with from Robert's Rebellion which he fought [in part] to rescue his sister from her [alleged] rapist only she died and now he's…

Yes, but it also accounts for most of what made Tyrion REALLY irritating after book 3, so much as I like that backstory, I'm okay with jettisoning it if it means that Tyrion's story moving forward is better on the show.

Yeah, I figure it's one of two things: Either it's accurate and Martin never intended it to be much of a mystery to the audience (only to the characters), or it's a big red herring that better have one hell of a plausible alternative or people are going to be pissed. I think the former. I don't think Martin meant it…

Yeah, I don't remember much about the book, but I remember a scene in which White Girl counts to like 20, and the Medicine Man or whatever is like, "What sorcery is this?" because the Neanderthals didn't really grasp basic math and she did. Riveting stuff.

Yeah, I actually like Dushku, in that I think she does one thing really, really well (play a badass). Unfortunately, that's her only thing. Casting her as a chameleon was not a good idea.

Not to mention it introduced the world to Enver Gjokaj, who is a fucking talent. The world didn't seem to notice, alas, but even if the show hadn't gotten good around episode 5 or 6, I'd recommend it for his performance(s) alone.

I couldn't think of anyone but sports figures, so I looked it up, and apparently Steven Soderbergh is (sort of) from Baton Rouge. I'll take it!

I completely agree with you, but sadly, the producers aren't completely off-base. I showed that Kent/Neil dance to my mom, and she thought it was great, but when it was over she asked, "So that was just about two friends, right?" like I had to affirm that it was not about a male couple before she could like it. And my…

If NO no sale?
