A philosophical question for a true academic like James:

Worth noting - if you fuck up while drunk, lots of people will refuse your offer of restitution on the grounds of being polite, or pretending it's not a big deal, or something.

@MizJenkins: But, the white ladies are marginally less photoshopped! It's a cultural revolution!!!

@fridaycat.: I noticed that too, but since Jez has been covering the show since the first season I don't think it's a big deal.

Comicon has reached the apex of overexposure and will soon cease to be cool. Enjoy it while it lasts, 15-minute celebrities!

I do think Taylor has talent as a songwriter, if she can ever get past her hopelessly maudlin disney-princess syndrome.

@derek: "Do I have to explain everything to you feminists?"

I think one mistake people (including myself) make in their fantasies is to assume that once people hit a perfect, lovely, aspirational level of happiness, their lives are going to stay the same forever and they've won the love game and everyone can go on admiring them.

BET is the epitome of a contemporary manfiction author.

@SkaHimself: Actually, I think that dick jokes are still way more common than vagina jokes.

@HonkyGeisha: Well, there are those of us who find real leather to be far more shudder-worthy than cruelty free man-made materials. Just sayin'.

I think the real question is not "How are these supermodels chosen?", but "Why do such vast numbers of girls want desperately, more than anything else, to be chosen?"

@amowls: "Modeling is a sad and frustrating occupation, I don't know why so many girls make it their dream."

That was one of the worst-written articles to appear in the NYT in recent memory (which isn't saying much, really.)

@AmosTrue: I agree, Bill's treatment of sookie is really annoying. He may love her but he never really saw her as his equal (and book bill is even worse.)

I love almost all of the characters on this show but it's getting to the point where I can't even remember everything that's happening in a single episode.

Secret 26: All women secretly believe in Unicorns!

Actually I think flying is a badass gift to your son. He's going to grow up with a mom who can take him on airplane trips. Beats a trip to the grocery store...

I suffered through the books in high school (they were huge in my rural christian area even before the movies came out), so when I got offered two free tickets to see this, I thought it might be kitschy fun.
