Because it was (nominally) primarily a love story between two sisters rather than a romance that places a man at the center of the princess' world, although in practice Anna and Elsa are separated for most of the movie and Anna spends most of her time falling in love with dudes.

Princess Jasmine is part of the Disney Princess line. So it makes sense to include the movie that features her but not, for example, Alice in Wonderland, even though that has a female lead/titular character.

There's literally a pie fight, so I don't think he was really going for an atmosphere of perfect dread.

Yeah, I didn't see anything smugly triumphant about her suicide. It's existentialist horror about how the deep truths of existence are too terrible to live with.

Right that it was possible, but wrong that the answer was worth knowing, thus the leader killing herself.

You know, it wasn't that I disliked the film, it's just that I thought it wasn't terribly successful. The only bits that I liked in "Velvet Goldmine" were the gay bits. I thought they were really very well done and you really felt the heart of the director. But I thought the rest of the film wasn't very good. It felt

Have you read Gavin de Becker's The Gift of Fear? He makes the same point from the perspective of a security expert.

The American Sailor Moon also changed the gay man Zoisite into a heterosexual woman.

So it's great and brilliant and emotional until we actually apply it to human life, at which point it turns stupid?

A "truly strong person" would just bitch about the things that annoy them in the AV Club comment section, amirite?

Dude, trust me. I find people clicking on a post solely to complain about it being clickbait (and then returning to the post multiple times to reply to people, thus giving it more views) deeply funny.

Jokes on you, they don't care if you read it. That's why it's called clickbait and not readbait.

You'd think what you'd do is not click on it.

The zebra didn't do it, it's just a word at the end of the dictionary.

Alan Cumming and Liza Minelli did a version for some Broadway benefit performance where they switch roles halfway through. It's pretty charming.

It kind of amounts to the same thing, though. Because she can't say "yes," her "no"s aren't taken seriously, which means she effectively can't say no either. Obviously the authorial intent is to eroticize a dated gender dynamic in which it was assumed the role the role of the woman was to keep saying no to sex, and

When going through his childhood trauma, it seems odd not to mention that his parents lost track of him at the airport the following year so he ended up in New York being pursued by those very same home invaders. I just rewatched Home Alone 2 yesterday, and those parents are so neglectful that even once they get him

Again: you made a definitive, absolute statement that "pre-early '70s you see no drag queens with beards," which I refuted with not one, but two examples of famous queens with beards prior to 1970. In no way did I say that they "defined the drag scene" (in fact, I was pretty clear that they emerged from the collision

I'm sorry if pointing out that the 1960s were before the 1970s makes me seem pedantic and argumentative, but it was in response to your definitive statement arguing with me about the specific years (pre-1970) when you saw "no drag queens with beards or stuble."

Sorry, yes—the Cockettes were formed in 1969, and I assure you, many of them had full beards. Their founder, Hibiscus, developed his drag persona in the years before 1969 by doing street performance, in drag, with a beard, because he was a hippie. The whole gender-fuck drag thing started in the 60s, not the 70s.
