The Oscars aren't for genre movies, which is why I basically ignore them. Some people don't get that. How could you award Best Picture to GotG when the following didn't win, and most weren't nominated:

Any response that disagrees with you, is utterly useless? Was it my tone?

You deserved every bit of what was coming to you in that thread. You were more concerned with policing tone and defending your "naivety" than what was actually being said.

I have read the thread, and- you're not going to like this- I have to say that the responses that I found the most shocking were yours. You say you were backed into a corner, that you went on the defensive- does that absolve you?

Is it better that we have a token "black" movie to mollify blacks, or is it better that movies with black themes be judged entirely on their merits, rather than on the color of their actors' skin?

Let's not turn him into a hero.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! WHO ARE YOU ON THE PHONE WITH?! WHY ARE YOU CRYING?!"

What did your mom say????

I'm sitting in bed next to my human husband now, but let's be honest- he's no Prime.

I love this!

I used to be in love with Teddy Ruxpin when I was a kid, because I thought he had a sexy voice. I don't even know how I knew what 'sexy' was, but there you have it. I later broke up with him to date Raphael from the Ninja Turtles.

I wish I could say they were my first cartoon boyfriends, but sadly,…

I can identity. I got a typewriter for Christmas when I was in the third grade and wrote my congressman A LOT. Mostly about being anti-vivisection. I actually mailed them.

Aw. I was weird and proto-OCDed as a kiddo, too. There was a long line of pop stars I insisted could see through my eyeballs, culminating in a year of thinking Trent Reznor was filming music videos through my eyes. I wrote a whole thing about it (sorry, I knwo this is spammy) here.

I'm super impressed that you created that out of kitchen materials at seven years old. Impressed and jealous at your creative genius.

that is fucking beautiful, all of it.

I have a few.

I had a weird obsession with cannibalism. For my 4th grade enrichment class I built a large papier mâché island featuring a volcano, trees, caves, essential cooking pot and cannibal play figures. I wish I had a picture of that. Instead I offer the Mother's Day card I made that year. Mum still has it. I can't believe…

Around age 7 I was obsessed with Transformers. When my parents bought a Suburban I was convinced it was Optimus. I would lie down in the third row and talk to him. We were going to get married.

This is so creepy.

But do the children?

Maybe... Look what happened to her Blank Space set.
