she hasn’t done anything for trans women who are victims of sexual assault.

Ironically, Bridge to Terabithia is one of the most-challenged school library books for its inclusion of swearing and supposed promotion of atheism and occult beliefs (...imagination, I guess?).

Oh he’s the worst. In another interview, he talks about acting like a total controlling psycho because his 14-year-old daughter had a boyfriend.

This dude is unhinged. Does he just assume anyone vaguely brunette is a “foreigner”? Is he so obsessed with hating immigrants that “foreigner” is just the worst insult he can think of and therefore his go-to?

Yeeeeep. In my hometown it’s “drive to the Home Depot to hire a Mexican,” but otherwise same thing and same “it’s TRUE!” excuses.

Like...even assuming it’s true and she had a psychological disorder that some doctor said could be cured by spanking (obvious bullshit, but just for a minute), why would it be up to her EMPLOYER to go to her home and administer this “treatment”? I know it was different times and all, but was your boss allowed to show…

I saw tons of it. “Roland is supposed to look like Clint Eastwood! Roland is supposed to have blue eyes! It doesn’t make sense because Susannah who’s not even in this movie is supposed to hate him because he’s white! They’re just doing this to be politically correct!”

I also find it ironic that they’re calling cutesy budget ideas like twinkle lights and chalkboards “basic” but in the next breath act like stealing flowers out of your neighbors’ yards is somehow a superior and less tacky option.

And if you read the court transcripts, he is told multiple times that he is not promised any particular sentence and that jail time is a possibility, and acknowledges that he understands this. The fact that he’s acting like he’s a big old victim because he didn’t get away with only serving 40-odd days for child rape…

Same, when I first heard they were doing a sequel I was like “meh, but it’s not going to be the same without Colin Firth.” Now yay!

I saw it last night and it just felt a little...slight? Like, once you figure out what it’s about, they don’t bring a whole lot to the table thematically beyond acting out the “metaphor,” which was a letdown for me because that specific allegory has been done A MILLION TIMES.

Love her. Where’s the album, Christina?

WE NEVER FIND OUT

That early-2000s period where they tried to market every female singer like a Britney clone was a bad time.

“Hot Topic” was my first thought on seeing that font.

Yeah, the fact that after everything Arya has been through she’s apparently still somehow oblivious to the fact that sometimes people (particularly powerless young women in enemy territory) have to compromise to survive is really disappointing and annoying. Especially when she herself played nice with Tywin Lannister…

I’ve seen a couple of these interviews lately with women who are like “I kept my unintended pregnancy and the church/political group I’m with didn’t praise me for CHOOSING LIFE.”

Agreed. I was a huge fan of her as a kid, but this shit is lazy and embarrassing and there’s no way I’d pay money to see it. It’s one thing to have a “diva” persona that involves dramatic hand movements and lots of sparkles, and another to have the kind of “diva” persona that involves constantly showing up late,…

Agree on all counts. The plot armor that Cersei seems to have in a show lauded for its “anyone can die!!!” realistic grimness is hugely annoying.

Yeah, everything about the show’s version of Ellaria just irritates the shit out of me since in the book she’s expressly like “the cycle of revenge is pointless and will only end with more of our family dead.”
