I guess I don't perceive the same kind of issue regarding feminism's focus on "one side of the equation." I'm a feminist, and I want equality for all genders. It's not acceptable to favor one gender to the exclusion of the other.

"It's a show that people get or don't."

I see that SG-1 was too busy with the mystery asteroid to protect us from an invasion from this Goa'uld system lord. Where is a zat'nik'tel when you need one?

<Hand over mouth.> I can't believe he said this stuff, but I'm totally glad he did. Yes, you're right, objectification doesn't fix inequality. But wow. It helps. This girl. Truth is, it's easier to feel good about something if someone is actually on the sidelines cheering on and saying that you're beautiful (if not…

THC is incredibly non-toxic, in extremely high doses it can lower your blood-pressure to dangerous levels. If your heart is already troubled (from heart disease, other medications, etc.) this can result in a heart attack, but that's not the same thing as toxicity and shouldn't be called "poisoning". If you inhale…

I err on the side of believing her as well, but this does not end with me needing to subject Woody Allen to excessive vitriol or to express outrage that he continues to live his life. People hate ambiguity and so feel the need to pick sides, to demonize one person and valorize the other. Neither of these is necessary.

Well, he gets plenty of love on this site, it seems, but he's highly underrated to the unwashed masses, imho:

Excuses. It's a fictional world, they can create a fictional rich black family.

Oh dear. That looks absolutely dire. Lennon can do a lot better than that. Hell, the Wayans brothers can do better than that, and I wouldn't watch one of their movies if you strapped me to a chair and stapled my eyelids open.

Nolan doesn't have a problem with simplicity. The issue is that we had Tim Burton give us two films that followed that simplicity, and now we were due for another take on that universe. i.e. it was already done once before, now a new angle had to be taken otherwise we'd bore the audience.

Having a change of heart after the check is in hand, it's not like he didn't have the money or that Kick Ass (I) didn't already exist as reference. I think it is quite questionably, as with anything.

You also have to keep in mind that every time that Hamill tried to put some genuine emotion into his acting, George Lucas would yell "No, blander!" and hit him with a lightsaber prop. Everyone else who Lucas has ever directed has gotten the same treatment, but Hamill had it especially bad because Luke Skywalker was…
