Yeah, I haven’t followed all the movies but that sounds a tad whiplashy and unmotivated. Unless it’s, like, season 6 of a TV series running thin on storylines, it’s a bit of a bad sign when a female lead in an ensemble is trotted out as a romantic interest for every male protagonist in the group in turn absent any…

All very good points, thanks. On the other side of their bro-coin, I really loved when Ruffalo sent that tweet to Marvel asking for more Black Widow merch for his daughters and nieces. A bit of a sassy move to publicly do that to the hand that employs you, but he did it politely enough.

(I like those emoticons. I unfortunately don’t speak the language, but I like to think you just sent me pics of pointy boobs with oddly wandering nipples.)

Heh, bullshit, you totally meant the other thing ;-0

I dunno. Actors tend to identify with and be protective of their characters, so when fans or cast make digs at them it’s not unusual for them to take it personally. If Evans had said, “Hawkeye is clearly the weakest and most useless amongst us” it might not be super well received by Renner.

I’ve never seen CR so it was definitely long before that. It was something random like Entertainment Tonight/Inside Edition. I think he was living with his mom at the time, IIRC...

Have you ever seen interviews with Adler, post split?

I think we need to stop calling that kind of viper pit a boys club, it’s insulting to dudes.

I like to be positive, so I’m going to choose to focus on the fact that she has really great hair.

That’s why it looks so cheap then, I suppose!

Yeah, I don’t care about the price, and I don’t mind that it’s tacky, what offends me is that it is both of those AND LOOKS CHEAP.

(gah, now I need to find one of these for “shut the front door”.)

I understand, and those specific parents can be equally tiresome. She didn’t bleat anything, though. A “source” was quoted by a magazine, with the usual gendered bullshit angle — “she” hired the nannies (because apparently childcare is solely her responsibility?) and while the source hurries to assure us she’s going…

No one says shit about nannies disqualifying or tarnishing a father’s role as parent. It’s tiresome.

Are we... is this... is mouth-pussy a thing, now? Is this the look we are going for??

I think we need to acknowledge Momentary Racial Stupidity as a subset of that, too. Sometimes, people are unaware about elements of other cultures and do or say offensive things by mixing up words or terms, etc. Sort of the race based equivalent of a Senior Moment. If those people get defensive and refuse to learn…

Wait, those are cornrows? Shit, shows what I know, I thought those were just braids. Like, farmer girl regular ole frenchy braids, just more of them than usual.

I dunno, we all need to respect our own process, but while I absolutely believe this part should be the minimum, I sort of take the opposite view once it gets past this low bar:

Wait... what?? Tell me that’s just one small, possibly flawed study. Dear god...

If you say your pregnancy was also super chill or no big deal, I am afraid I must now hate you for eternity.
