As a person who doesn't really get "fandom" I always have some sympathy for someone who kind of can't be bothered. Problem is it comes with the gig, so as a matter of professionalism, you need to put forth an effort on such occasions, though I imagine for someone like Morena, having to deal with inevitable obsessive…

Wait, not Pamela, I mean Arn and Ole.

You must teach them, wo. You must teach them.

Or Chin God Zilla, starring Bruce Campbell.

Great episode of a stellar show. Though I must admit I had hoped that the aliens he encountered on his drug trip would show up to give their side of the story as well. Still, funny, clever, well-executed funny stuff.

Bah, climate is a hoax. And this gravity nonsense, I see birds flying around all the time, so how do you explain that, science?

"You're like a big lion with claws and fangs, man!"

That was exactly my first thought. Well, "Holy shit, that's a trailer." But still, almost verbatim. That was strong as hell.

Hey, maybe she's had Lasik and those are just cosmetic specs.

A few comments on Starman in the John Carpenter article yesterday had me thinking of this same subject. Good video, and I like that they deviated from "Top 10" to just illustrate iconic / excellent examples of different types of goodbyes.

You'll get an origin of the problem, then a prequel to the origin, then a reboot two years later.

Is Weird Al aging into the impish trickster god that is his true form? I mean, he clearly looks older, but in a weird "I am actually eternal, sshhhh, don't tell," sort of way.

Something about Mark Duplass makes me inherently disinterested in any project he's in where he's meant to be taken even somewhat seriously. I overcame that to good cause to enjoy Safety Not Guaranteed, in which he was quite good, and I know it's a bogus, stupid reaction, but it strikes me the same way every time…

20-years old. Old enough to get that ass beat for pulling some dumb shit, therefore old enough to be called a man.

In the linked expose, one of the parties involved actually mentions a similarity to Fargo. It seems tailor-made to the Coens.

*does not work if woman is on an airplane

It is different. And it is indeed frustrating. I guess for me, the thing is, here we actually have an example of potentially dressing up as a specific character, and I really don't see any way it could have worked out without courting controversy. The tattoos with no skin and a wig and a necklace would have been seen…

No need to get testy. What I pointed out is, I think, an example of how this issue has more complexities to it. There's no hard and fast rule. You said you think dressing as an individual would be okay as compared to being dressed as a generic character. I would dispute that. I think that ties into the general thesis…

Well, that's the other rub. Again, I think it's a no-win situation. I'm not saying that it should be or that I agree with this costume being removed. In fact I don't, and I think I've made that plain in other comments. But the observation is still, I think, accurate. Some sort of controversy was going to follow this…

I would dispute that a white woman, for instance, dressing up as Frida Khalo would be automatically treated as "fine" by a good number of people.
