This story has stayed in the back of my mind for years now. It’s a truly disturbing series of events. I think she is likely mentally ill as well, though that doesn’t mean she isn’t culpable for her actions. What is her defense supposed to be? Why didn’t she cop a plea?

Zac has had serious issues with cocaine.

Fair point, but doesn’t your claim that Solondz’s films are only about the White characters discount the stellar work of, for example, Robert Wisdom in Storytelling and Michael K Williams in Life During Wartime? In essence, aren’t your ignoring PoC and issues of race in the same way that you’re claiming Solondz does?

Ab…

Well, it’s also very often a *critique* of these people, specifically in regards to race. In fact, very large portions of several of his films are entirely about the subject of white privilege. But then, I’m guessing you’ve sat throw maybe one of his films. And perhaps didn’t finish it.

I was talking to my racist uncle ‘Mike,’ who grew up as a Jew in the deep South. I’ve heard stories from my mother of having rocks thrown at her head. The Klan marched through town. That kinda thing.

During one discussion, where he was explaining that Trayvon Martin was clearly a criminal because he had once been…

Go Lindsey Rosin! Hell of a writer and a great lady too.

Well... it is a fairy tale.

Look, I try to be a good feminist and ally and sincerely consider the effects of my male privilege many times a day, every day.

Bat Out of Hell was written as a musical about Peter Pan in the future, or something like that.

Actually, in the late-80s, early-90s, Steinman wrote the book and songs for a Batman musical after the Burton film broke box office records. I don't think it ever saw the light of day, but you can hear some of the songs…

He recorded a duet version for Bat Out of Hell III. It's not very good. But the song is definitely written for a man.

It's so weird that the meat loaf version is *shorter* than the Celine Dion version. I mean, that just doesn't make sense.

It's not a 'cover.' The song was written as the centerpiece of Bat Out of Hell III. But they hated each other so much that it never came together. And then Meat Loaf bought the rights and put it on his (gawdawful) version years later.

Total Eclipse of the Heart is another amazing Steinman song.

Excuse me, I believe you mean, 'JIM STEINMAN's' song. It belongs to him, not to Celine Dion. It was written for MEAT LOAF. #corrections.

but sex after breakfast! Oh-la-la!

I'm only willing to comment on this bluntly because this is a burner account...

I think you may be on to something. Guys will spread their legs super wide to accommodate their genitals under the pretense that they are 'too large' to fit in a standard seating position, but what if it is the opposite? Like your…

I honestly don't get the wide leg thing. Yes, the skin of your testicals will stick to the sides of your legs and it can be uncomfortable, but I've always found that this can be solved by crossing your legs tightly at the knees in a 'lady-like' fashion. If you're skinny like me, it leaves a space for your male-bits…

Clearly the acronym for a system that targets fat cells should be LARD *not* LRAD.

Your definition obviously isn't the one in Oxford English; Websters; Legal Statutes in 50 states plus the District of Columbia, Federal Law, UN Bylaws, or one defined by disinterested logical contemplation and/or truth charts.

I see you don't know the definition of rape.

Nope. A case of regret maybe, yes. But it sounds like nobody (except the girl being raped, as well as anyone with a passing understanding of the definition of rape) knew it wasn't consensual until someone asked her.
