Ah, you're completely stubborn and intractable. I'm outta here.

Don't get me wrong, it would've been great if they had cast black actors in both roles, or introduce Reed as black, that would've been fantastic to see. But this is how they've casted it and I doubt they're going to change it so I think it's good to appreciate the small stride made here.
Re: a black Queen Guinevere in Merlin.
King Arthur wasn't real—don't start debating that, that's not what I'm here for, and although the legend may have been inspired by real figures, he wasn't real and he didn't rule Britain. But you're saying the show about him, his wizard friend, and a dragon, needs to be…
See, this is where people's complaints about siblings of different races lose me. You say it has to be "awkwardly justified" and I've seen plenty of people saying things similar, like "well, how are they gonna write it so it makes sense??? It's an unsolvable issue!!!"
It's a COMIC, people. About a human torch with…
Not only was William Hurt fantastic, but he was damn funny too. My favorite moment of this entire movie is when Sam's show is starting on the TV and he runs to the kitchen to get everyone and says in a weird, high-pitched voice "Let's all watch this wonderful show!!!!" (or something like that) Don't know why but I…
Oh awesome, I'd never heard of that movie. It was Canadian too!
I'm going to the Edmonton comic con and Dean Cain was just triumphantly announced as a guest. And if this was 1993, 16 year old me would be super excited!!! But 36 year old me just wants to ask how much he had to drink to face each day on the set of that Sasquatch reality show.
Wow, you…..do you seriously not understand how stupid you look? But please, by all means, continue to bluster about in an attempt to distract everyone! Like oooohh, telling me not to stick my nose into "a discussion" on this super-private message board made just for you! Yes! Please, tell me to leave this public…
Never said I'm British, where the fuck did you get that? I'm Canadian. And I was gently (no longer gentle, though!) informing you that you look like a dumbass for assuming the post's author was using the word "wank" in the British way, as you were obviously unfamiliar with the term "fan wank". Did you even read the…
Please don't tell someone they're using British slang when you're not familiar with a term. See definition 3, it's the most apt for this situation:
Hey! The reviewer (and others) have finally caught on to what was obvious in the pilot! That the character of Cameron is "a male writer’s conception" who is "crammed full of “quirky” details"! Aaaaand she's the reason I stopped watching. No actor can make such a weak and hackneyed character work. And I honestly…
Yes! I was going to mention their 'pile-ons' in general.
"…but where we gonna find a tattoo parlor open at this time of night?"
Unsurprisingly Fassbinder's riff on Sirk is weird, yet compelling as hell.
Yessss, batshit crazy Gene Tierney! I love the scene with her spreading her father's ashes while riding a horse and her expression says "look at me! I'm a goddamn hero!" Kills me every time.
I had no idea CTV is apparently everyone's go-to for the news. I mean, 4 of their news shows are top-rated?? I'm surprised the ratings didn't take a dip when my dad died last year; he used to watch a good 2 hours of news every evening. I sat and watched a few times with him and it's SOOOOO repetitive. Same…
Excellent comment. I never realized how much language there is around sexual assault. I would definitely rather use the legal terms myself than ones like "rapeyness" and "rape-rape"; to me, terms like that diminish the seriousness of the behavior/situation and normalize it, like you said. They literally do make me…
I think there is more nuanced language we can use. What he did was at best "sexual harassment" and at worst "sexual assault". Yes, an actual rape/actual penetration didn't occur but a kiss is/can be an expression of sexual feeling, could even be considered a sexual act, and thus doing it without consent (or with…
The tickets were too damn expensive. I wanted to go purely to see JC Chasez and fulfill my youthful dreams of seeing NSYNC in concert but once I saw the ticket prices, I easily gave it up. I never would've even intended to go if it wasn't for the cast. Not so into plays about Jesus.
Cauliflower?! That's madness! I can't believe stuff is actually happening! Did they ever explain why the church was being used as both Major Hewlett's office AND his stable??
