Ellen is interwoven for me with my own coming out. My parents were both fans of her sitcom, and had been watching up to that point, and I knew it. I, fourteen, read in the newspaper about how she was a lesbian, and was coming out on her show, and how big a deal this was.

He’s never been known for his flexibility.

Ted Cruz: Duck Hunt is, at least, phonetically accurate.

He doesn’t know how to use the 3 seashells!

A robot is found by someone on a desert planet that has secret information for a resistance/rebellion group and needs to be kept out of the hands of an evil empire, which is led by a dark practitioner of some ancient mysticism, a general and his dark mentor.

I’m sorry but he did trash Trek. He missed Gene’s entire point of for once the humans got their shit in order and are the moral standard of the galaxy. Without the lessons we see in every star trek, it’s not star trek. It’s another action space movie.

I felt like this was intentional. Not like, hey those ideas are good, but like “We’re straight up going to use New Hope as a template, and when we do the scene planning the attack we’ll flat out show our hand and then do a bunch of new stuff from then on out”. So.. super DUPER intentional. To the point of being funny…

Yup. It’s dumb. One would think that after seeing examples like Heath Ledger, Bryan Cranston (which I already mentioned above) and Hugh Laurie, people would understand that actors are supposed to be exactly that, actors, and they should be capable of taking on pretty different roles, within reason.

Tom Hanks of Saving Private Ryan starred in an 80’s sitcom about two men who dressed as women to get cheap rent in a gender restricted apartment complex. It was called “Busom Buddies”

It’s called acting. Robert De Niro was in Rocky and Bullwinkle. He was also in Taxi Driver.

The pause at the beginning is known as "Barbarians at the Gate." The pressure has reached an unbearable level. The brief walk after he drops his bag is known as "The Frankenstein." Trying to walk with clenched cheeks. The slight pause when he starts to drop trou is known as "The Mexican Standoff" when the pressure…

Though I'm sure you thought it out, I'd disagree your comment was intelligent. Though opposing viewpoints are welcome, Deadspin tries to keep the conversation from devolving into a cesspool of trolling, racism, or stupidity. I don't remember your comment, because I dismissed a great many, but I would bet that it was…

I go through this discussion every semester with my hate speech class. "But if THEY call themselves niggas/fags/dykes/mutts/etc., why the hell can't I?" Because context matters. Who it is who's saying the words matters. If it's somebody who the word is normally targeted against, that means, "Hey, I'm owning this so…

"but with the Blast Shield down, I can't even see!"

When do we get to this ?
