It really was the worst - Fox wouldn't let them do anything even remotely queer, and the writers were openly contemptuous of it as a piece of art (which is hilarious, given - you know, Glee). Why even do a "tribute" to something you think is a pointless piece of crap, especially if you can't even do the one thing …

I cited it because as a Fox property it's probably most indicative of how Fox will choose to handle adapting it. Hell, they're already 1:1 in casting a woman as Frank again.

Did he think she was super hot or not hot enough?

She's pretty bony. Like, she might have big boobs relative to her general weight and height, but nobody (except Bryan Fuller apparently) would be like "Oh yeah, that's a symbol of fertility right there."

a group that has become synonymous with violence, hatred, and mayhem

Actually these teen wolves played lacrosse. I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I'm tired of contemporary remakes and adaptations that seemingly just want to show what a fraud the original was. Superman is a douchebag, Alice's Wonderland was a dystopia, the Star Trek gang really fucking hate trekking through space, etc.

IIRC, when Glee did it they stuck with "transvestite" but changed it to "from sensational Transylvania." Transvestite is still an accepted term; "transexual" slightly less so because it implies a special status to trans people who've had surgery.

It's actually the one thing on this list I'm contemplating buying. (In my defense, The X-Files is on Netflix.)

She did center her Grammy speech around it, so it's not like she decided to rise above the fray.

Him living in the shadow of his father's heroism makes sense to me (even if it is standard boring Daddy issues crap) but yeah, his mother playing no role in his life whatsoever is pretty sexist bullshit. According to the movies, I guess she married some jerkass that she left him and his brother with and then took off…

If you've read any of the AV Club coverage, you've seen it. If it helps, you may have missed it because a lot of the comments tend to go along these lines: "I don't have any problem with the new Ghostbusters being women…I just have a problem with the casting being a gimmick (because it's women) / the film being made…

It seems odd to conclude that for Bayley, humanization cancels out violence, while for the prisoners (who we know far better), violence cancels out humanization. Not least because it seems to rely on the premise that one can either be violent or human, which I don't think is a position OITNB has ever endorsed.

The recipe isn't written in emojis - it's "emoji-based" because you can send them a food emoji and then they'll send you a written recipe of that food.

I kind of drifted away after I think the third one, but the first one was interesting enough for me to want to introduce it to my dad.

A replacement copy of The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett. I bought it for my dad for Father's Day, and the first copy I bought had printing problems so I had to get a refund and buy a different edition.

This is the second time I've seen someone quoting that "The power of Patty compels you line" as an example of her racist dialogue. Is there some sort of stereotype I'm unaware of that black people are constantly going around quoting the Exorcist, or are you just seizing on literally everything you've seen her say in a…

Leslie Jones in on SNL, she was in Top Five, and she's doing tons of commercials right now so she has that familiarity. I love Aisha Tyler, but right now she's like eighth-billed on the 11th season of Criminal Minds.

Yeah, there's really no difference between a woman deciding to do something sexual for herself and a dude staring at an actress' lips while she's trying to talk about her film work.

The people should sue!
