Aykroyd’s original Ghost Smashers script from 1981 was much more far-out. It was set in 2012, years after an apocalyptic event that had unleashed ghosts and demons, rationalized as sentient electromagnetic phenomena rather than spiritual entities. The ghost hunters were more like rival companies, as opposed to a…

Has Michael Burnham ever met a Vulcan before? ;-)
So Snyder just told the art department to design Steppenwolf and then forgot to tell them to stop?
Spider-Man: Homecoming
This was the issue I had with my ex when he was promoted to be my boss (so completely aboveboard in all respects). We worked at a restaurant and he was so afraid of being accused of playing favorites that he deliberately rigged contests so I wouldn’t win and sided with others in any disputes. It infuriated me, but he…
I’ll drink to that, 100%. The right has been facing demographic shifts for years, and hopefully that means that this really is the dying gasp of the Christian Right-we can hope for that kind of luck.
Gender dysphoria is not mental illness. Have you ever even read anything in the DSM-5 related to it? I can pretty much guarantee that’s a no. For fucks sake, I even had a therapist that I had to school on holding outdated views/concepts.
Like always, I will remind everyone that the real intent here is to drive trans folks to suicide.
Georgulas took Luna to see a therapist, who diagnosed the child with gender dysphoria — a mismatch between the gender assigned at birth and the one they identified with. From there, the therapist laid out steps on how to make the child feel affirmed, like letting Luna paint their nails and putting them in a dress,…

This is gonna totally blow your mind: There is an entire field of psychology called child psychology. Children see psychologists all the time. Because children are people, and thus are susceptible to mental illness.
That’s one reason why I enjoy these comic-book movies - the sneaky way they’re passing on messages like that, wrapped up in a fun package. The original comics themselves were the same; sort of a way of communicating “things aren’t supposed to be like this” during the Red Scare, etc (I’m not feeling super coherent…
Yes. I’m not afraid to say Thor Ragnarok was the best of all the Marvels.
Well that’s just what you get for forming an educated opinion about material after having actually viewed it. That’s asking a lot of people these days, apparently.
My sister got fed up once during a visit to her in-laws, when there was major fawning over her new baby and her husband and near-total ignoring of her. Finally, when her mother-in-law remembered to introduce her to some family friends (imported to “see the baby”), she held out her hand to shake and said “Hi, I’m the…
I can only hear this in the Car Talk guys’ voices - “John Bugsy Lawler, back from the dominant, prominent, malcontent, nonevent, rubber cement, breach of trust with fraudulent intent pussy...”
