Juno didn’t seem androgynous at all, the character basically dressed like most girls I knew at the time

I haven’t seen Juno since it was first out but I don’t remember thinking “Gee, that pregnant teenager is definitely more androgynous that what’s seen in popular films!”
It was more like “Wow, that nerdy kid got someone to fuck him?”

Or, taken from a slightly different perspective... he was alone in a shed for months on end recording a special... what other face was he going to use? 

The issue with Solo wasn’t that it was a divisive movie, the issue is that it came out after the release of the divisive Star Wars movie.

Continues to fascinate me how AV Club works. If this were almost anyone else — god forbid one of their favorite targets — this article would be dripping in snark and condescension, full of mean-spirited commentary with a click-baity headline, because “this isn’t a news site; it’s a blog,” and because the core story…

He was the lead in Cider House Rules and Pleasantville which were both bigger movies than anything she’d starred in at that point.

First of all, Salesforce offered to relocate its employees out of Texas after they passed their bonkers Handmaids Tale anti-choice law.

I’m not being disingenuous at all. Homophobia is bred from “gay panic,” a prejudice-based fear that gay people would try to rape them or their children. It was even somehow a legal defense until just recently in most states (in some I’m pretty sure it still is). These idiots are literally scared of gay people, and…

It’s probably Madonna’s best screen performance, precisely because she’s a relatively minor role of the ensemble and she really did seem to reign it in to work within the group.  

This... was a catastrophically bad career decision (she got her pay-or-play so maybe not that bad, but no one casts you for the roles you didn’t play). Based on silliness. Madonna’s role was pretty small. It’s not cameo-small, and she was definitely part of the draw for the film given that she was like the biggest pop…

Thank you for the coverage of Big Brother and of Danielle--one of my favorite all time players.  I know BB is not very popular, and I know that the bad casting and tone-deaf producers are to blame for that--but I still watch this with my (grown) daughter every summer--it’s our “love to hate it, can you believe what…

For God’s sake, Sam, can we cut this nonsense out? The “backlash” to the new Disney ride consisted entirely of one editorial on SFGate before Fox News picked it up and ran with their brand new culture war football. There is no need to play their game. I don’t care what two people on some editorial webpage have to say:…

I think “consequence culture” is a bit of a disingenuous way of framing the issue. Yes, at heart, that’s what it is, but those consequences are frequently waaaaay out of proportion, and it’s perfectly fair to have misgivings about that.

Also his name is an extremely silly acronym. 

 Not family friendly enough

The problem is he is absolutely 100% silly looking

*sighs* What a dumb article. Buffalo Bill isn’t any kind of trans, in fact I’d be surprised if he had a sexuality or gender identity at all, as those terms conventionally are defined. He is a psychotic killer who happened to find a narrative. If he were religious he’d have picked a religious narrative. If he’d played…

On the other hand, he was a particularly incompetent Confederate general, so maybe he was secretly a Union agent!

AOC and the Democrats are equally as dangerous as Bush and the Republicans.

I honestly don’t know why anyone would get into a non-limited Netflix series at this point.
