So do we really need female characters doing everything that male characters do at the same ratios? Arrow is a terrible example, although the article half-admitted it by pointing out there are already a half-dozen ass-kicking women on that show. So would this all be better if Felicity's role was played by a guy…

Looking at your comments on this article, you're either involved with the production of the show, or WAY TOO involved with its watching. Either way, I invite you to relax about people hating on Homeland.

First time here, I see…

It's sad when people get mad that Snowden told them they are being spied on illegally. These people don't care about the crimes committed by the government when it lied to them, but they care about Snowden committing the crime of lying to the government. No concept of the value of whistleblowing, civil liberties,…

I trained for about three years, but it's been about ten since then. I've been getting in serious shape the last year, and I'm planning to get into judo pretty soon. My JJ training was pretty diverse, maybe to its detriment. That's why I'm interested in judo - more focused.

Yeah, it's the MMA aficionados who traffic in broad stereotypes. Not you…definitely not you…

I know I'm asking a lot to expect Doctor Who to be even slightly scientifically plausible, but…even after I learned that the moon was a big egg, I kept waiting to learn how it gained in mass so quickly. I assumed this was yet another twist…after all, growing fetuses don't just GAIN MASS out of nowhere…

Interesting, that last bit! As for retconning Cthulhu into Christianity, I agree that would be a bad way to go. I'd certainly prefer them going in the opposite direction. I'd find it interesting to interpret an entity like Moloch as something more ambiguous than a pure evil demon…something more like a malevolent…

I tried…but hey, at least he's no medieval historian, is what I always say.

"Meanwhile, on ground level, Chloe makes her way across a chaotic Long Island, narrowly avoiding being run down by both a driver-less car and a pilot-less plane."

I feel like your "defense" will convince any parents reading this to ban their children from watching even a single frame of this film. I mean, it's cool that you enjoy your degree, but I'd encourage my son to be a rapper before suggesting a major in medieval history. Note that I am not going to encourage him to be…

I'm not so sure about that. Behind the kitschy pseudo-Christian mythology, I have often sensed a more pagan sensibility. I mean, Katrina is a "good" witch; in traditional Christian myth/theology, all forms of sorcery come from the devil. In fact, there has been no actual reference to god OR satan. The idea that…

Just seeing this now (damn Disqus)…my quote is correct…if you pay attention, you'll notice that I continue after quoting your quote to quote what you followed up with. And that's what I was commenting on. If that doesn't make sense, just re-read my original comment a little more closely.

“We believe the choice for truly enjoying a magnificent movie is clear.”

I'm thinking that the blu-rays could benefit from an in-character commentary track.

This was not the official music video. It is fan-made.

It's really all relative. I suspect that you have some leisure expenses that would horrify a slum dweller in Jakarta.

I did a quick search here, and I'm surprised I didn't find any mention of the obvious and hilarious 2001 reference. When Ginsberg is listening to Lou and Cutler, this is clearly a reference to the scene where Hal is reading the lips of the astronauts. Even down to the IBM logo in the background (surely everyone…

You're right! We SHOULD start a war with Russia!

Did anyone else accuse Avril Levine's terrible video of racism? That was a stupid article. I saw the video, and it's not racist. Find me an actual Japanese person who would be offended by something about this other than being celebrated by awful music.
