I think Elementary is better than Sherlock because even though Sherlock’s Watson is very well done, the villains feel very much like Bond villains to me. The characters in Elementary - especially the villains/criminals/perpetrators - have much deeper motivations. I think that makes the series truer to the books and…

Well, I’m sick of movies that justify the deaths of random Black people because they give the main character the courage to seek revenge upon her (Brown) assailants, but she still made “The Brave One” anyway.
Right? This is the thing: I just don’t need to see it any more. It’s become a sort of bullshit shorthand for “serious” treatment of female characters. You want to show me what a great auteur you are? Show me the relationships between your (named female) characters. Show me a sisterhood, or a mother-daughter…
I spoke about this to my friends last year. There are way too many of us out here who have been sexually assaulted. We don’t need to constantly see it in movies and shows. We get it. We fucking get it.
I love Blake Lively and rape jokes are obviously never okay, but I find it really disturbing that she finds rape jokes exponentially more offensive than actually working with an accused sex offender.
After an actor works with him, I never look at them the same way. Colin Firth... Emma Stone... It always leaves a bad taste in my mouth that they either didn’t believe Dylan Farrow or they don’t care.
All very similar roles to non-famous families who suffer the consequences of sexual abuse.
Parents lie about what they did to you as a child either because they legitimately don’t remember or they’re intentionally trying to gaslight you but a child remembers because that trauma and betrayal stays with you forever.
This story is EXACTLY why I get pissed that people are arguing against letting transgendered people use the bathroom of their choice. Because this, this RIGHT FUCKING HERE, is the kind of shit that is actually more common than not. THIS is where the danger to children is-in adults who are just “sure” that everything…
Go away....Why is it Anytime black women celebrate themselves and have a moment of pride and fulfillment, ashy ass mothafuckas like you wanna come for them and try it. We ARE allowed to indulge in ourselves.
Stuff I don’t want to hear anymore:
...No. If Philip Roth was allowed to write the same fucking story over and over, about boring, ruthless men on navel-gazing quests for sexual fulfillment — and win prizes for it — and be called one of the greatest writers of his generation — I think we as a culture can afford Beyoncé space to take what is personal to h…
How disposable do you have to think women are that you can dump female leads from their shows?
LOL well she has a very dark sense of humor and is extremely sarcastic. Although she can come across as very sweet and kind (not to say she isn’t) most of the time that over the top “niceness” is just her brand of sarcasm. She’s actually a really cool person and it’s a shame her career hasn’t really taken off in the…
... As a former employee of Amber, she def paused to laugh at least 20 times while filming this. And also Pistol, though adorable, is a manic little pooch.
And being a lesbian or bi makes the character even more likely to be killed off.
I am going to jump in here and assert that the reason multiple people have made the comment that Michonne and Rick are an exception is paralleled in the conversation about Nicole Beharie, the treatment of her character, and the character’s relationships with the Katrina and Ichabod. The common thread here is that half…
You’re right. If your boss is being mean to you, bullying you by not inviting you to company parties or important events, scheduling meetings when he knows you cannot attend... and then after 3 years of abuse you quit... one could certainly say “well you wanted to leave!” and completely ignore the fact that you wanted…
