Shepard looked like a goon on Mass Effect, yeah. They were all balanced out to some degree by all the Japanese games with crazy spiky long hair, though. I guess it's mainly us Americans that hate the men with varying hairstyles.

>:O I assume it's some kind of "you're blowing a lot of air" statement, but I wasn't sure if there was some kind of specific reference here! Ah well.

I forgot all about Kennedy. She really was the worst.

Yeah, the link doesn't make any attempt to say how this relates to the percentage of representation, so I'm not sure how Cappadocius got the "ALL 133 LESBIANS ON TV DIED VIOLENTLY" that he posted it as originally. There are many, many shows where essentially no one ever dies, and it's not like those shows are all…

IIRC Seinfeld was the show that had them talking about "teams" in reference to gay vs straight (I think that was in the "not that there's anything wrong with that!" episode). Ah well. The 90s indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if that was pretty progressive for the time!

I don't get it :(

I like how this "article" states that almost no one could have possibly disliked that trailer unless they were sexist. AH HELL NAW

I saw Henry Silva in an Australian vampire movie (Thirst) last week in which his character is in pursuit of the heroine, grabs onto the skids of a helicopter, and loses his grip over some powerlines, upon which he is electrocuted for about 20 seconds, after which we see his smoldering body fly onto the ground. …

Susan's valid, I suppose. There is most definitely an episode where George meets her in the video store with her new SO and she informs him that she became a lesbian after they broke up, and then George has an existential crisis to Jerry about the fact that he drove her to lesbianism.

That is awesome.

There aren't any in the linked article, but there sure is in the title of this AV club article!

That's an intriguing way to rewrite the title of the article to imply that there have been 133 lesbians on TV and they have all died violently, instead of the actual content of the article, which lists every lesbian that has died violently on TV. :/
Yes, historically there's been a problem, but representing it…

I don't get these articles. "Several (some not even remotely popular) shows have the same hairstyle on their female characters, therefore TREND, therefore AVclub link implying sexism, therefore outraged comments." Oh, nevermind, I guess I do get it, it's all about the clicks.

As opposed to the subtle realism of Lord Humungus or Toecutter or The Night Rider or Rictus Erectus?

Beginning is the End is the Beginning is decent too, but yeah, the first was what sparked my Pumpkins fandom :P

Haha, I loved the way they wrote around that. "Actually, the apocalypse was confined to a small town, so everyone was fine besides Frank's wife."

As Obama has proven, no matter what a democratic president proposes, congress will screech and demand they water it down. I'd rather have watered down good proposals than watered down ALREADY COMPROMISED proposals.

If I'd only seen the movie once, I'd probably agree, but the movie has held up on rewatches for me for 10 years now, while I have no idea if I'll enjoy Fargo Season 2 a second time, let along after a decade of watching it every couple years. :P

Eh, it's not just the removal of the flatted fifth, it's that the entire thing is dumbed down. But I really don't listen to much country, so I guess I'm not familiar with the genre conventions. Maybe all country really does just use those standard beginner chords, and that thus it would have been jarringly out of…

I don't really like any of his movies, but the guy's command of style in 300 was a pretty big deal at the time and has proven to be very influential, and most of his other movies are immediately identifiable as being a product of his just due to the visual style. I don't like his vision, but I don't think visionary…
