I think we don’t know more about droids for the same reason we don’t really know everything about the Force: the creators are not terribly interested in exploring these things.

Least surprising newly-revealed fact? They’re into Ayn Rand. Of course they are.

It really does sound like the OG cast wanted to at least have a transition or bit parts but got cut out, which is bullshit.

The Fish in The Cat in the Hat should be at the top of this list. I know, in the cartoon it is voiced by a guy but the book does not assign that fish a gender and I would argue it is the ultimate Lame Bitch.

We are set up to hate the fish, when all it does is point out that we don’t know that cat and he should not be…

Just from watching the trailer, I was turned off by this Hollywood/Disney-Alice-in-Wonderland-looking representation of such a classic. Many of the descriptions in this book are dreary and drab. The eccentricity is purely dialogue/acting. I don’t think any of the actresses have that capability, besides maybe Mindy…

I’ve always defined third-wavers as the ones who let legislatures erode our abortion rights so they could talk about how much they liked porn, but that’s probably not what you’re looking for.

It’s tough but by no means impossible, I don’t think. If I were receiving an award in a situation like last night, or I was advising someone who was, I’d have gone with a very short speech, thanking a handful of family and the critical people worked with, then ending with something like, “the movement we’re seeing…

The silliness and wrongheadedness of going after Streep allows the Clooneys, Pitts, Tarantinos, etc. off scot-free. Streep was not on the production-side as those men and Weinstein were - so anything she “knew” was derived from rumors unless she heard it from victims themselves directly. Which no victim has stated…

“It was a relief then that Rian Johnson did what needed to be done... I hear those criticisms, but find them easy to forgive in the face of how brave some of Rian Johnson’s choices were.”

Legendary outlaw? ...never mind.

Who?

It is hard to believe that King is confused about all the attention that the tween orgy scene has received when the novel itself spends so much energy to buffer the reader’s reaction.

No I would never think of King as a pedophile. The problem is that he is actually a talented writer (even though not at all someone I like- he does have a particular skill set) and so things will work on a few levels. I agree it just doesn’t fit, but I think that’s because he is at a conflict here that you have…

It drove me utterly bugshit even as a kid (And I was a HUGE fan of Stephen King as a kid) that Beverly basically serves no purpose except to scream at appropriate times and then ‘bond’ the group together by having a convenient vagina in the dark when they’re lost. Yes, she can shoot the slingshot but all that is…

I don’t think the “better” scene you described sounds much better to me, and not just because it would still make people uncomfortable. If an 11 year old decided to let her entire group of friends fuck her in a sewer because she loved them, it would raise pretty serious questions to me about whether this girl, who…

You’re trivializing something that you don’t understand. You should read the article again.

You missed the whole point of this article.

I am going to call bullshit with Manwich’s statement. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. And, even if that consent is not or can not be verbalized (be it through intimidation, inebriation or being drugged, etc)... and especially when our right to give/refuse consent is taken away. It is that denial of our rights,…

My god, please, please go away.

I feel for her, because she is clearly not politically correct—which in this context is a compliment—but the downfall of telling the unvarnished truth is a lack of diplomacy. Diplomacy exists for the sole reason of getting disagreeable people to agree on things. Brand ambassadors are named that for a reason. And in…
