Ever After is a fucking glorious film.

My book club read “Freedom” and hated it (we’re a mix of men and women.) The thought of having it read to us is sending me into mild convulsions.

You mean it hasn’t already? I assumed the only people who liked him were pretentious, self-important white dudes who were never “understood” by “society.”

Oh, Ever After- I just love that movie so much. And although I am loathe to admit it, I loved her in The Wedding Singer as well.

Take him out (the not-on-a-date kind)

Franzen’s argument about Wharton was so much worse than that. He said she was a great writer, but between her creative talent and her wealthy background the only thing that made her remotely sympathetic as a human being was the fact that “she wasn’t pretty.”

Well, I think it’s pretty clear what Collier was creating: a collective journey into the dark.

Thanks for the heads up about Uncovered Classics. I am now browsing it.

She should have told everyone she’d be writing a book report on it.

You couldn’t pay me enough to read Purity. After Franzen’s bizarre New Yorker article about Edith Wharton not being a great writer because she wasn’t sufficiently sexually attractive to men.....dude is dead to me. Freedom was bland and forgettable. It isn’t a tenth the book as House of Mirth.

babe this whole thing is a joke

I knew this would happen.

Only including women “eye candy” also suggests that there aren’t a lot of gay and queen men in the gaming industry, which is ridiculous.

This. My “you do you” goes out the window when ephebophilia is fetishized.

Or dressed as teenaged girls.

I will never understand the sexy schoolgirl thing. It’s like, “Okay guys, feel free to act out your pedophilic fantasies crime-free!”

Look Microsoft, having a “women in gaming” lunch is great! But you can’t use that as a sheild when you then make women incredibly uncomfortable in the spaces where a lot of networking connections are going to get made.

Having eroticized female dancers at a professional gathering is gross enough, but the “sexy schoolgirl” thing is extra disgusting.
