Demonstrate the truth of that in the industry.

I clearly meant men in the industry, but outside of the top-tiered members of industry, I doubt many men anywhere make anywhere near what these actresses make per picture.

Ah, then your judgement is meaningless.

"Pretty fucked, right?" Nope, not fucked at all. And few men have made what Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock or Meryl Streep make. It's Hollywood. It isn't about "We must be fair to everybody." It's about "You're worth what you bring in at the box office." How do people not understand this?

Yeah, it's a great line. While putting her down, he's putting himself down even more and making clear it's all a joke.

Being all touchy and offended by his response, though—now that's so punk rock!

If you don't get the self-mocking aspect of “I’ve fucked farm animals that were prettier than you, you fucking hog!” you lack the humor, irony and appreciation for in-your-face confrontation that is essential to punk. Without the first half of the line, it would be a comment you'd expect from Trump. With the first…

You are of course right, and you will of course be excoriated. But who says life is fair?

Ain't nothing less punk then defining punk on the basic of gender, race and income.

What's meatheaded about it? He likes sleeping over (a different category from having sex, cuddling, spending time together) because her bed is more comfortable. Maybe if his bed was more comfortable, he'd ask her if she minded sleeping at his place instead? If she doesn't ask for clarification or show that she in…

I'm beginning to think sequels and franchises are as bad an idea as family political dynasties.

"Boys will be boys" is, I think, a fairly modern concept, even though it's always evoked as some time-honored truism (it seems to have started as an out for sexual adventure in the repressed early 20th century—as a completely sexist double standard—and progressed into a call for perpetual adolescence sometime in the…

Fair enough. I think you could go to any public library to accomplish most of those things, but I think you make a reasonable point.

Except any business that requires a computer or laptop will usually provide one. And that's what we're talking about here—necessity vs. luxury. There are some businesses that require constant phone contact, too, but such businesses either provide the phone or provide a salary that covers the phone.

Give me a serious argument rather than Millennial privilege, and we can have a serious conversation.

Either the whole ride is wrong, or none of is. Being ok with a cannon fight the good guys lose, robbery, looting and burning down the town but not okay with the auction scene or pirates chasing women is just bizarre.

Who says we aren't?

Lol, I'm "wedded" to this issue. Not sure where my supposed contradiction comes in. You are touchy about your toys, aren't you!

There's a lot to take in, let alone remember. And I'm just assuming my memory is correct.

One must read the most dire thing into any fictional situation. And one must be psychologically troubled by what one reads into it.
