It must be exhausting to hate yourself and your heritage so much.

This is my big concern for women who choose to be stay-at-home moms or housewives, especially if they haven’t worked ever or completed any kind of higher education. They are 100% dependent on their husbands (or wives, but mainly husbands). This is so terribly short-sighted.

That’s the joy of the internet rage machine. If someone says something obvious, naive, silly, or perhaps ill-conceived, we have an obligation to destroy their soul and any residual yearnings they may have to speak out or make things better.

Fair enough. I don’t think the Revenant fits that mold because it’s not US troops - it’s set during an early fur trading expedition, which most certainly would have only had men on scene. That’s the only reason I give it a pass for the lack of women. One thing to be said about that movie, though, is there are a great…

I have a realllly hard time with the notion that The Hateful Eight passes, and I think this is the inherent problem with the Bechdel Test. That movie existed for two reasons: to watch men beat the shit out of a woman for three hours, and to give Quentin Tarantino an excuse to write the N-word 5000 times.

See, I liked the Revenant despite the lack of women. Thinking about the film, the time and the place, where would the women have fit in? It’s not historically accurate for women to be part of that expedition, nor for women to be fighting alongside the indigenous people.

The tough thing for me with that is you have to look at the context of the movie. The Revenant, for example, was set in a time and place where women really wouldn’t have been present. Now, there’s certainly an argument to be made that a film wouldn’t have been greenlit if it was a movie set in a time and place where…

Thank you for mentioning this. She’s been doing really impressive work since Winters Bone, and she truly does deserve her accolades.

This is what gets me. Successful male actors can get away with ANYTHING. Can you even imagine the fallout if Jennifer Lawrence or Anne Hathaway threw a Christian Bale-style tantrum on set? And there was actual video of it? Good lord, they would NEVER live it down. And yet here he is, nominated for another Oscar with…

Is it possible that her “schtick” is actually just her being a normal human? This is what boggles my mind with the hatred for Jennifer and Anne, and so many other successful women. People seem to think everything is put on, as if it’s completely impossible for a celebrity to also be a down-to-earth, not horrible…

Can’t forget Concussion. It’s probably Will Smith’s strongest performance to date.

The one that’s making me most angry is Will Smith being snubbed, while fucking Matt Damon gets a nomination for his shitty movie. Smith really made me care about something that I sort of actively dislike (football in general). He did an excellent job in a very difficult movie.

Mr. Robot is a very interesting show, but it’s *thisclose* to being too far up it’s own butt to ever get back out. That said, the acting is great, and it’s a genuinely interesting, twisty plotline. Worth looking out for.

But his “jokes” are so funny. Everyone else thinks so. Why don’t you like his awesome “jokes”? That’s harassment, you know.

So sad for Celine and their kids, who are still so young.

Um, whoa. Don’t take this out on Jennifer Lawrence.

Oh my GOD. Is this a real thing that exists? I just can’t, guys. I can’t.

I got mine at http://www.swimsuitsforall.com/, which is amazing. They have so many styles that flatter all different body types. Mine is a blouson top (for those of us who don’t feel comfy in skin-tight swimsuits), and high waisted bottoms to suck in the gut. I refused to be seen in a swimsuit for years before I got…
