Right?! Like what the hell? I was so excited for it, too. 

Olivia Coleman was the only really good change made to the source material for the new Watership Down series. 

Well, he did make up a bunch - anything that was in “lapine” was made up by him.

Asking for a trigger warning is not the same as asking for it to be completely omitted - other posters on this link add trigger warnings to their stories all the time and have for years. There was a lot of reading involved before we all got to the “that’s not my jam part”, you realize. Those of us who read it were…

Yes!! It was so upsetting and I kept having to go back to it to see the follow up comments so that I could NOT be upset at the lack of trigger warning. I feel awful for her and am so glad she found some catharsis from writing her post - the ensuing conversation that followed in the comments gave me pause and time to…

My first date with my husband was supposed to include seeing Drag Me To Hell at the theaters, my idea. We missed it, but make of that what you will.

Similar with my dad - he was worried I was being too strident with his oldest friend on fb the day the hearings were happening and that I was being too “in your face” when I was basically posing the question - at what point do we get to be angry and demand justice and demand better action against evil rather than…

According to my house full of roommates who all came home at different and random times in the evening, my cat would always stump down from my third floor bedroom to wait at the bottom of the stairs to greet me right when I got home every night no matter my shift or arrival time. I didn’t even know that he only did it…

I’d just like to say this entire thread is perfection. The GOP in a shitsandwich...er, nutshell. All of it.

How do we know the stranger at the end is Satan and also the baby of Vivian and ghost Evan Peters? I clearly missed some cues, I guess. Also, yeah, what an over the top farce of a show. Every scene made me laugh and I don’t think it was meant to. All the characters seem to be caricatures which doesn’t make for…

!!! I watched this episode the other night! It’s one of only two things I’ve seen so far this Shark Week that’s about the actual sharks and not celebrities getting over their fear of sharks...grumph. But yeah, she was so freaking calm when this happened. Not even a yelp until she they did the bleach bit on the boat.

I went to the Mt St Helens Museum a couple years back and, honestly, my major takeaway from the 1980 newspapers they had as part of the exhibit, featuring articles covering the big eruption were the smaller stories in the paper - about how Portland had finally desegregated schools...in 1980.

I have his biography on my kindle. I can definitely tell you it stands out as “one of these things is not like the others” among my sci-fi, horror, and young adult fantasy, but I recommend it!

I read the book in my early 20s with expectations of all the characters I’d grow to love dying savagely because of the movie - to be fair I saw the last half of the movie when I was five and didn’t know any of the characters that were getting shredded in the carnage - just assumed the book would be a blood bath, and…

I am! The voice cast is amazing though it’ll be interesting how they’ll incorporate all the new female characters they have lined up. Given the lack of female rabbits being kind of the most important plot point in the original story, I’m sort of wondering why they just didn’t expand on the female characters that exist…

Right?? I didn’t read the book until I was in my early 20s after seeing it while browsing on my lunch break one day and thinking, “Fine, I’ll try it...” But I was expecting to be bawling my eyes out through the whole damned thing and instead LOVED it so much I reread it three times that summer and now every year. I…

This is sort of how I feel every time someone talks about the new, or other adaptations of Watership Down as a remake of the late 70s movie or how, in general, people act like it only ever was the traumatizing late 70s movie and not an amazing book that is so much less traumatizing than that stupid cartoon nightmare.

Look, I generally don’t disagree with you on this, but I truly hope you’re putting as much effort into calling out misogynists as you are tsking at women who are sick to death of worrying that the Handmaid’s Tale might become their reality sometime soon. Maybe you are, and if so - GREAT! But you shouldn’t be calling…

And yet after centuries of being raped and murdered at the hands of men, women are supposed to be sensitive to nuance and be the ones to elevate the conversation. How come men aren’t ever worried that women are going to be pushed away or written off in totality by the actions of misogynists and male warmongers? How…

Because it’s on women perpetually to fix this problem. Seriously, “it’s not helping” and “adds to the problem” is bullshit. The onus is not on women to prove they don’t deserve to be murdered after a millenia of being murdered. That’s the same bullshit as demanding that oppressed peoples don’t get angry about their…
