Those are great! I really loved Fangirl, but even more Carry On, the fan fiction novel that the main character in Fangirl writes. It's really clever as an imagined last stab at a conclusion to a story that is supposed to be canonically written by someone else. And it also has a lot of heart.

She does pretty specifically say that having more female filmmakers is the solution.

But she isn't talking about a lack of representation the way that you are talking about it. She is saying that the representations OF WOMEN on screen was what she found problematic. So it isn't a lack of representation, but a problem with the quality of the representation that she is referring to.

Who says they are plummeting in the ratings?

Actually, Steven Bannon wrote the inaugural speech, and he knows full well where "America First" comes from.

Ah. well. Not sure this would have helped with the stomachache, but you don't get waffles at Waffle House. You get hash browns.

Waho gave you a gutbomb nap? Where are you from? California? What did you order?

Ok. Although, by the measure of what's surprising and what changes people's minds, I'm not sure anything about him is going to count as newsworthy. The fact that he had to settle a court case accusing him of defrauding a bunch of people seems more newsworthy than the fact that he got his feelings hurt over the…

Why is the Trump University settlement barely newsworthy?

Hmm. I might say that writing the fake news is a freedom of speech issue, but disseminating it…. may be something else. Yeah, it's on the dumb people who read it and thought it was real because it looks like a legitimate news source (because it was designed to mimic a legitimate news source). But when phishing or…

Only he's not there yet, right? Young Man Still Doesn't See Difference Between Writing Satire and Right Wing Propaganda, maybe.

Nymag is reporting that the banning was most likely due to the fact that he posted screenshots that showed Leslie Jones tweeting anti-gay and anti-semitic slurs, which she had not done. But I think there isn't one tweet that Twitter is pointing to and saying, we don't allow this. So it's all fairly speculative.

Really really love Jim Harrison. He wrote a wonderful food column for Brick magazine called Eat or Die — I bet you can find some of them online.

Yeah. I'd also just add that the non-scientist is the role that the viewer most identifies with. You have a group of people who understand this technical jargon that isn't really explained, and as non- ghost scientist viewers, we see Jones's character as our entry point to react to what happens on the screen. …

Ok. But I just don't know that they (or we?) are obviously not the majority. How do you know that most people feel like you do?

My question is, how do you get to be considered a fan? I thought I was a fan of Ghostbusters, but I also like Feig's movies just fine and am looking forward to seeing this version. Does that, to you, disqualify me as a fan? Does it disqualify me as a fan to the makers of the film?
Also, what Lucas did to the Star…
