He thought it was fine saying those things about Keira Knightly because the people he hangs out with, in the business he operates in, talks about women and people of color that way every day with impunity. So when he got blowback about it and realized his words were heard by people not full of white bro privilege, he…

What if the entirety of ASOIAF is actually a recipe book detailing how the people will survive the winter on an unlimited supply of fried calimari? This has been foreshadowed in the books. GRRM spends pages and pages and pages detailing what characters are eating for no apparent reason. But what if there IS a reason?…

From this point on, it’s probably safe to assume that the show has no predictive value for what will or will not happen in the books. D&D have made it fairly clear that they have artistic license to change things. And they’ll have to in order to finish in the time frame they set.

*extremely quiet whisper* He might have the pages.

Yeah - they are very sweet together, and I have seen them live and it was nice, but I also thought that was little creepy. If I remember correctly they are no longer romantically involved, although they still work together, and he has said that the relationship should not have happened.

I didn’t like Once. I thought it was weird that the Glen Hansard character was nearly 40 yrs old and afraid to leave home/strike out while the female character was so young and yet wise, a mother, separated from her partner, etc. Then I read that the original plan was to have a young Cillian Murphy in the lead and…

And it seems like her family was pretty great about making sure that her needs and her health (emotional, physical, psychological, etc.) were the primary focus when she came home.

i also really respect - as a fellow ex-mormon - that she doesn’t shy away from saying that the church fucked her up. i like that she calls out specific behaviors and dialogues and people who told her the wrong things. i’m impressed she does it with as much gentleness and dignity as she does.

I respect her so much. She has some very biting things to say about purity culture in general and it is wonderful.

She’s really not pear shaped. Her hips are really quite small. Also, that bathing suit is ugly af. It looks like she’s lounging around on Saturday night while her laundry is in the wash and all she has clean is those granny undies. I’m sure Aimee looks very nice when she’s not dressed by Stevie Wonder though.

I disagree with equating actresses pushing for equal pay as a step that will help working women get equal pay. But, actresses speaking up addresses the misogynistic culture of the entertainment industry. That is a real problem that needs to be addressed.

Aww look, it's the little girl from Waterworld, all growed up.

In a nice coincidence, celery is highly underrated. A veggie with excellent crunch factor and leaves for garnish to boot.

I normally enjoy reading Angry Asian Man, but I don't feel like he understood who the butt of the joke of that poem is supposed to be. When I first read that poem I was 95% certain it was mocking the practice of white urbanites/hipster/foodie types Columbusing ethnic cuisines to feel culturally superior. I feel like…

So a lutz takes off the outside edge and a flip takes off an inside edge on the same foot (left foot for most skaters). The outside edge is harder because you spin toward your inside edge, so your body starts moving in the opposite direction than you eventually jump. Does that make sense? You can typically tell when a…

In the books Jamie takes an honorable turn after A) spending time with Brienne and B) getting away from his sociopathic sister. So with the Sept scene they really raped both characters.

I think the violence is fine, when it’s called for. I don’t mind battle scenes or sword fights or anything. It’s more the stuff that seems like it’s there for shock value, like stabbing Talisa in the stomach a billion times, or the unnecessarily extended (and boring) scenes of Theon’s torture. I would just prefer that…

I agree with you about Polina. Her packaging is just awful. That long program dress this season? Yikes. It was even worse at nationals with her hair down. She needs a Michelle Kwan 1995 Skate America Salome moment, where she comes out looking like a woman on the ice. She also HAS to get those jumps around and the edge…

Gracie’s problem is 100% mental. I was very nervous for her being 1st after the short, too, because she has only ever done well in the free if she’s digging herself out of a hole. I really, really hope that she starts working regularly with a sports psychologist in the off-season. She’s worked with one in the past,…

I missed this article because I was in Boston at Worlds. I was at the ladies final last night, and it was crushing to see Gracie do what she always does, but thrilling to see Ashley knock it out of the park!
