A blood-cumming, clit-snipping treat for the whole family!

Of course the movies misogynistic
And it airs one of the most common complaints of the misogynist: that women consistently fall for transparently reptilian con artists who ooze smarm like a slug oozes mucous. That the rejected schlub is just as much of an asshole is merely so much sleight-of-hand to disguise LaBute's…

You know what Eliza Dushku likes most?
Cake farts.

Well, does Dollhouse at least qualify for hugs? The Special Olympics are all about he hugs.

Uh, no.

Actually, shows have switched networks in the past—Taxi was canceled by ABC and picked up by NBC, for example. The Adam West Batman series was almost picked up by another network—NBC again, I think—when ABC canceled it but the Batcave set had already been struck and NBC didn't want to pay to re-build it.

'sfunny, alurin, but it's actually spelled GrammEr.

And they're early hominids to boot!

Addendum re: We Can Build You: that's the point I'm making when I say PKD's mind was tearing itself apart over this. He knew better than his racist tendencies, he just couldn't overcome them. And when you factor in that We Can Build You is easily Phil's most misogynistic novel (his least is The Transmigration of…

America is built on slavery. The androids are escaped slaves—EXPLICITLY described as escaped slaves. Slavery was an economic "necessity" justified by religion and systematic dehumanization. The killing of androids is justified by Mercerism (look up the origin of the name Mercer—it's from the same root as merchant,…

Faaaaaaaake blood…
…you scare me like the real thing
And if you were the real thing
You'd scare me mor-or-ore.

VALIS is what made me into the obsessive PKD fan I am today—I read it 17 years ago and haven't looked back.

I hate DADOES. I think it represents not just the worst of PKD's shaky style (a flying car is described as taking off "nippity nip" into the sky) but the nasty racist tendencies that PKD explicitly deals with in in his posthumously published novel Humpty Dumpty in Oakland. Reading DADOES is interesting in that we…

The novel from which I take my user name, Clans of the Alphane Moon, is probably the best place to look for Dick's misogyny—see also Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said (both solid and enjoyable novels). Some could argue that Juliana Frink of The Man in the High Castle is a misogynistic caricature but I'd say there's…

VALIS is where I started…
…and I've been an obsessive fan ever since.

No, we live in a world where we have given the nonsensical name "God" to the accumulation of random chance and blind physical law that is reality. God hasn't turned his eyes away because there is no God and thus He has no eyes to turn.

I like your posts, Tom. They remind me of grad school. I liked grad school.

You forgot The Wire.

She had a bit of a career renaissance in 3rd Rock from the Sun, a show about 3.14 times better than it had any right to be.

Only if Roman Polanski cameos and gives her an AstroBoy style oil change.
