Right?! That woman he was supposed to date calls him up angry about him blowing her off but before that date, at the museum, he was acting really confused and forgetful and then when she calls he doesn’t even know what fucking day of the week it is! That is not normal flake behavior! She really should have been…

Learn English. They is a very common singular pronoun, and has been long before trans folk started using it.

“Peter Jackson’s pretty damn faithful adaptations”

Article pitch: What if I made the same point as a 40-second Youtube video, only longer, and in a way that made every reader wish for death?

I don’t think the Bechdal test is the end all be all of how well women characters are represented. It's a good indicator, but not the only one. For instance, there is also the Mako Mori test, which I would say LOTR passes.

Yes, Tolkien wrote very few female characters.
Now tell us how racist HP Lovecraft is.  I’m sure that will be a big shocker to lots of people.

Once Claremont made the decision to write him as a sympathetic extremist in a world in which people are constantly trying to commit genocide against mutants it became kind of impossible to write him as a cackling maniac again.

Sabretooth’s being used in an allegory about carceration: what do you do with someone who would rather reign (and rape) in Hell than serve in Heaven? Mystique and Destiny are amoral power players, Sinister has been presented from the jump as a snake in the garden and a mistake, and the Apocalypse developments were…

I’m not reading, ah, any comics anymore - they’re just hard to fit into my life now. But the last few years of X-Men lunacy have been my favorite to hear about secondhand. Every development a new, insane, often genuinely interesting turn for a franchise that by all rights could have bled out all its ideas years ago.

I’m going to pretend this isn’t a troll because it’s a good discussion to have.

I actually went back to look at the byline to be sure it wasn’t Perkins. Martin seems to also share the view that the opening sketch each week should be someone yelling, “Donald Trump and the Republicans are destroying the country and you fucking morons don’t see it!”  Despite being someone who shares that political…

The site’s reviews of SNL seem to share the same problem with its view of The Carmichael Show — an assumption that the primary point of comedy is to tell other people messages we think it’s very important for them to hear, and not to be funny.

The 90s stars had huge pay days. It makes sense that they can walk away rather than keep starring in films into their 60s and 70s.

“SNL punted way too many times during the Trump administration, which is why the show was so unsatisfying in its last few seasons”

Yeah thanks Glenn Greenwald

It must be great, living in a country with no history of violence against anyone, ever.  Where do you live again?

Sounds like a genuine (if somewhat wordy) apology and Rock isn’t pressing charges, so seems about as reasonable a conclusion to this situation as we’re likely to see. Nothing really further to discuss.

the look they gave him is a pleasantly fucked-up cross between Heath Ledger’s Joker and Jack Nicholson Gotham’s Joker

“I feel like what Miranda does [on And Just Like That…] is incredibly brave. She gives up her very lucrative corporate job and goes back to try and make something more of her life.
