Aw, those are good names! And Lana with the huge paws and the brains - perfect. Do you ever yell at her like Archer? Lana, hey Lana, Lana-LANAAAAAAA!!!

To be fair I think he was attempting to be feminist about it in terms of Ellen Ripley being a strong female character and thus is a great girl’s name and that my naming a boy cat that was somehow missing the point. I think he just missed my point about it being nbd to name a boy after an awesome woman. But whatevs...

What’d your cat end up with? I have a friend who also has a cat named Ripley and I when I found out I was like OMG my next black tuxedo boy cat will be named Ripley also! and the owner’s husband was all, but Ripley’s a girl’s name. And I was all Ripley’s a badass’ name and I have no problem naming my future furbaby…

What are yours? Sokka and Yuna are in current use and I had Elphaba and Loki (back when he was more the sometimes evil brother to Odin rather than Tom Hiddleston). Loki the cat as it turned out was my soul mate, (sorry Mr. Audcat), so that sucks as he’s been gone 8 years next month.

I do have Lagertha on my future cat name list. Along with Smilla(‘s Sense of Snow) , Sestra (Orphan Black), and Ripley (duh).

“The term mansplaining is sexist.”

I love this comment and you so hard. Was thinking the exact same thing.

Totally and verifiably Digimon. I can still name most of the characters and have some of the toys at home! I used to record the show on Saturdays and watch it with my drunkass roommates. And then harass small kids who were clearly into Pokemon by leaning over and whispering “Digimon is better!”

I was talking about Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland feuding, a la season 2.

And then they’ll throw in someone to play Joan Fontaine to feud with her. I dunno, this seems like it could be entertaining but will probably end up playing out badly as a soapy show that promotes the stereotypes of women catfighting whilst taking a steaming dump on the legacy of actresses who had to put up with a lot…

To a degree, I think you’re right - I think much of the issue with the rape, however, is that it’s still used as shorthand for female character development in regards to the main characters or worse - character development for the male characters witnessing the rape - like with Theon and Sansa. I think most would…

You’re definitely not wrong about GOT and Outlander, but something I’ve always thought as pretty insidious with crime procedurals like Law and Order SVU, etc, is that while the rape and awful sexual crimes happen offscreen, the victims are often still presented as dead body props and we’re told about what happened to…

I agree with your assessment to a point. I don’t think he was implying that women bring it on themselves (his son’s take on it points more to that line of thinking) in this instance - though I also think he’d have no problem doing so for anyone not his daughter. I do think, that in addition to highlighting the aspect…

In the same paragraph you say the film was never going to get a good review here and then call them out for not reviewing it at all?? This article is seriously just a screenshot of OTHER REVIEWS - even mentioning reviews from those who liked it. So the only way that Jezebel would be off the hook for this is if they…

Truly it is so worth your time. I liked her on the Daily Show but now I freaking worship her. She is what we need, deserve, have been waiting for.

My friend texted this trailer to me first thing Saturday morning and I pretty much cried through the whole damn thing (the kind of crying one would probably do if they saw a goddamned baby unicorn being born). There have been 8 Batman films, 7 Superman films, and multiple series for both, let alone the countless other…

He is the BEST. I keep wondering aloud (every time he says something much to my husband’s dismay) how his casting process went. I imagine they weren’t specifically looking for a kid with missing front teeth, but loved him so much for the part, that they wrote all that in...

Too late! (heh)

We kept joking that we were going to do “Run to the Hills” by Iron Maiden, but that probably doesn’t help you.

My husband wanted Harvest Moon and I wanted In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (yeah, I know, don’t care) or Low’s cover of Transmission which has no real thematic value as a wedding song but is the prettiest damned song ever (and combines two of my favorite bands!) so we settled on Meant to Be by Squirrel Nut Zippers and…
