There is no dichotomy here. They can bring great news coverage without treating the murderer like a glamorous rock star on the cover.

I read this theory last night on the movie subreddit, and even though I'm big on easter eggs (and was properly stoned) it didn't hit the right notes for me. Cute idea, I guess, but I really doubt they have the whole Tarantino-one-universe thing going on, save for all the Pizza Planet references.

Okay can I just say that despite the obvious reason of this clearly being a really good movie, I really want to see it just so that I can put my money next to a movie that stars black actors. I feel like now more than ever it's important to support black films so we don't end up with only a divisive person like Tyler…

On behalf of other nerds, go for it, Andrew! Exploring existing characters in a new light is fun and interesting.

Dude, I heard he traded some political favors for some raw cookie dough. That kid is suspicious.

Meh. It's potentially problematic, but not necessarily so. I tend to refer to strangers as "ladies" and "gentlemen." As in, "The gentleman over there in the suit said you're the best person to ask for directions," or "The lady in the corner needs to speak with you." Maybe it's because I have old parents, but it…

Consider who they are trying to aim these ads at and I think its okay.

So this year has been nuts. I met Prince Harry. Before that we found out husband would have to be on testosterone replacement for the rest of his life because of one of his war injuries. We asked about baby making, so he was put on Clomid to boost sperm count so we could freeze and go through IVF. See, testosterone…

Maybe it's not significant to you, but overall it's really significant:

It seems like we've expanded the definition of MPDG from "a quirky woman who exists only to further the male protagonist's inner journey" to "a woman, with personality traits, skills, and a couple stories to tell over drinks." (So, to all women.)

So I posted about this on Groupthink, too, but I don't love this.

So wait, this is now officially a thing? Turning the last book of any popular book series into two movies? It might have made sense for Harry Potter, the last book was long and pretty dense. But come on, Mockingjay is still a relatively short book. How does it actually require two movies?

Hollywood's money-grabs are…

It's not about confusing Noah and Moses. It's about hearing something that's just slightly off from a familiar phrase or formula and perceiving it as that familiar thing, overlooking the bit that's off. The brain works by associating what we perceive with the memories and models in our minds. Since our perceptions are…

Oh agreed. I'd rather be called "assertive" than a "bitch" any day of the week. But while we work towards that and correct people as we go along, I'm in favor of deciding that "bitch" is in fact a compliment.

I hear ya. The times you use the word "bitch" to describe yourself, under the same circumstances, I describe myself as an "asshole."

Wouldn't it have been more effective to have taped shut Marlee Matlin's interpreter's mouth?

BRUCE BANNER AND PEPPER POTTS, OH HELL NO

If we exist outside of a womb, nope. Got a functional uterus? Too bad, no personhood for you! I'll take the bitch label and wear it with pride.

I am proud to be called a bitch.

I wish I could recommend this more then once
