Everyone in Walmart last Thursday or Friday.

Incidentally the phrase 5X5 makes my husband homicidal because of her role as Faith.

My biggest problem with dollhouse wasn't the story, I thought that was great. My problem was I was totally unable to suspend my disbelief that Elisa Dushku was being imprinted with other personalities. I don't dislike her in particular, I just don't think she's that strong of an actor and all her characters seem the…

I knew a guy a while back who was born in England and grew up in Jersey making for a really bizarre unappealing accent. He was also the most pasty, unattractive male stripper I've ever seen. I for one am glad she's on the pleasant end of that weird spectrum.

I'll agree with you there but it's useful

So Instantwatcher is just too complicated then?

They sell video games made for "mature audiences", why not these action figures?

I kinda hate myself for this but that's what she said.

I've only seen one of the Bourne movies (possibly two, can't remember) so I can't really comment on their treatment of women. I'm not too concerned with labeling things, my main argument is that it's worth calling things out in order to have these discussions and make people aware of issues. By the way, thank you for…

No problem at all, I'm cool with a genuine discussion about it. To be honest I've never seen most of the Bourne series. I saw the first one and possibly the second but it was years ago and I barely remember them. I'm not pushing to throw labels on everything either, some things are definitely more overtly sexist than…

Potato, potahto. They're more or less the same thing regardless of intent. I see your point though.

That's a fair point. Still though, how about a new twist on a revenge story? I'm not saying all examples of this are bad, only that we have some incredibly clever people out there. It's finally getting to the point where execs are realizing that story lines that stray from the mainstream actually sell really well when…

That's pretty much exactly the problem. 5000 years or so and some writer couldn't bother to come up with something a little more clever than "Man goes on revenge rampage after love interest is murdered"? It's tired and people are writing better stories. I don't think anyone is expecting it to go away completely but…

This isn't necessarily being villainized, it's being pointed out in hopes that in the future people will consider writing better stories with more well thought out female characters. If people don't realize they're doing it, they're certainly not going to fix it.

Before that it was his job. He cared about catching the guy but it didn't become personal revenge until the end. I admit it's a stretch but it could be argued.

He doesn't actually act on it until he finds out about his wife

Sorry, my comment was in reference to the use of "females" in conversation, I guess it wasn't clear in context. I assumed yours was too. It happens. If it makes any difference I agree with you on use of the word "girls".

It's no more awkward than the term 'females'.

In my opinion it's actually much worse. Looking shitty is just part of it. It's horribly unintuitive and extremely unresponsive.

Now to be fair I have a cable subscription but since we completely detest the UI of the fios menu we use HBO Go. Meh, at least youtube exists.
