She is a guilty pleasure because she writes trashy, yet enjoyable, books. Not because she is female. Don’t put a misogynist line of thinking on me when I did not say that.

Blergh, I really have zero interest in a SHIELD with Mack as Director. He’s a whiny hypocrite about violence (tell me more about how murder is always bad, Mr Shotgun-Ax, Mr I’m The Guy Who Kills Gordan) who has never demonstrated the necessary flexibility to make the nuanced calls that a Director has to sometimes.…

Australia was allowed in because we are very oddly obsessed with it. Getting up at 4am to watch is dedication, yet hundreds of thousands of us do just that! We have parties with costumes, even before we were allowed to participate, and put in the money and lobbying required to secure a spot :) If we win, we promised…

When the passengers are LEGALLY REQUIRED to follow her commands, yes, being drunk is a big fucking deal.

The sigh I let out while reading this article is, perhaps, the audible version of Liz Lemon rolling her eyes.

It meant a lot to those of us with years of piano recitals and practice.

I... I don’t know that I’ve ever read or heard such a scathing condemnation of someone expressing the notion that language is best used with care and not warped in an unwitting effort to make everything seem better. Yes, “awesome” as a euphemism for “above average” is part of modern usage, but I interpret Tyson’s…

Holy shit, the salt about this movie on this site from both the editorial staff and the commenters is just making me want to watch it more out of spite. I know it’ll probably be disappointing, but it’s still hilarious to see you guys go out of your way to run it down so much.

It made about as much sense in the Star Wars universe as it would if they had done a bit about #hashtags. I will tell you 10-20 years from now, TLJ will feel like the most dated of all of the SW movies, including the prequels.

Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why Ned had thought that, we would know a lot more about the nature of the show than we do now.

From the Hartford Courant article:

The Grosvenor family, who controlled NGS for decades, were notoriously hard-right. As an example, the National Geographic Society’s employee cafeteria was gender-segregated until the 1990s.

Congratulations. “White people invented movies, so we should only have white people in movies” is the stupidest thing I’ve read all day, and I’ve been reading Charles Murray’s Human Accomplishment.

Thanks in part to current trends in film scoring, there isn’t a single composer left whose work has the nuance and grandeur of an 86 year-old John Williams. In terms of melody, leitmotif and orchestration, Williams plays chess while everyone else plays tic-tac-toe. Only Jonny Greenwood gets me excited now.

What you’re describing is most movies. I mean, let’s look through Bruce Willis’ IMDB page and it’s mostly filled movies in which he saves people.

Look, Damon is not 100% modern and woke, but he is a fellow traveler. We on the left sure do love to tear each other apart over who is the most virtuous. This reminds me of third wave feminists tearing up the second wave like they are a bunch of villains.

I feel like I’m in a different universe than Zack here.

There was Nurse Chapel, but her unrequited love for Spock just made me sad.

She does flirt with him quite a lot in early TOS episodes. And better than Chapel’s goofy mooning.
