I would be interested in hearing more details about Fleming checking out halfway through. Did he just start recycling plots after a while, or does even the prose suggest that he was over the whole thing?

But a woman is (allegedly) experiencing sexual pleasure, and that's strict NC-17 territory.

Leehom Wang and Thor as college roommates? I'll be in my bunk.

I know, right? Maybe they postponed its release so that we wouldn't go into Flynn overload, but since when has Hollywood ever shown restraint?

Holy shit, I never even considered that.

Your use of 'gully' makes me question whether you're from NY. I don't recall anyone else ever using it outside the tri-state area.

I'm genuinely curious: what was his beef with the way she spoke? The kinds of words she used or the way she delivered them? I'm assuming that an awards show wouldn't allow any profanity, so I can't even imagine what bullshit reason he'd have for taking issue.

Oh my God, yes! Just finding out what browser they were using ("Is it a blue E or a flaming fox?" "How should I know?!") was like pulling teeth. We even had a customer who was somehow using WebTV, and angry at us for knowing fuck all how to troubleshoot for it.

Oh man, I remember how finding pictures of obscure stuff used to be totally dependent on other fans having scanners.

I had a job where I had to do troubleshooting over the phone for a company whose customer base mostly consisted of (bitter, racist, mean-spirited) retirees. "This was on the computer" was what was always said in place of "I read this on your company's website," and I had to explain more than once that recycle bin is…

And if it's true that there's a major class action lawsuit coming from employees whose personal info has been spread all over the internet, I can understand Sony being ill-equipped to even take the risk.

So when you sneeze, Dikachu, can you immediately sneeze again right after?

The best part was the petition. Did those fans really think that if enough people signed, the stars of their choice would just drop everything and do the movie? Fan entitlement at its worst.

She could be a perfectly nice and pleasant person, but a lot of the disdain people feel for her has to do with her taking credit for the praise the books gets (by pointing out that women come up to her thanking her for improving their sex lives), but not taking any responsibility for the more negative attitudes the…

How did you make it all the way through? I've been stalled at 50% with that first Twilight book for years, and yet somehow, I still managed to read 250 pages of it. I don't understand how there are thousands of pages in a series with little to no plot.

I love how EL James told Katie Couric on her show that she didn't understand the criticism that the books are poorly written with tons of errors. She was all, "The book's already out there, so there's nothing I can do about it." By all means, American public, keep supporting "authors" who don't try and don't care to…

I've read that this dude has no refractory period at all during the sex scenes, so maybe that's something supernatural?

I've started seeing billboards for it. Granted, it was right outside the Universal lot, but still. We're in for a rough couple of months.

Keep bustin'.

Speaking of soundtracks, would you recommend Prince's Batman soundtrack? I trust your judgment on all things purple, and wonder if it's worth a buy.
