I always reckoned Bender from TBC was a straight-up negging asswipe and borderline sex creep.

Also, not to derail too much, but can we also talk about how Duckie Dale taught a generation of guys that pushy, entitled, Nice Guy behavior was quirky and adorable rather than being borderline stalkery?
Me included, by the way. I spent a LOT of my teens acting like garbage because I thought I was a Manic Pixie…
A ten-year-old asking if she can marry her father? The writers seriously went with that?
Considering that this article is news aggregation more than reporting, I don’t even really blame people for getting the wrong idea—especially considering how weirdly inconsistent the ABC story is with literally every other report. But...
I don’t know exactly what went down here, but how did this broad stick her puppy in the overhead bin and sit still in her seat for several hours without being like LET ME CHECK ON MY DOG?
I watched this movie with my daughters for the second time today (packed theater this weekend too!), and I’m most struck by what my 8-year-old said to me at one point during the movie:
Just gimme a Dora Milaje movie...
The first time I saw it, I physically teared up, literally could not hold back the tears, at the moment Okoye told the rescued women to “Speak nothing of this day.” It was a moment of great power, of a black woman saving black women from black men, and it heightened my whole experience that first time.
I think it’s the flip side of the same principle. Erik Killmonger is a villain not because he does or does not advocate violence. It’s a superhero film that climaxes with a fight involving armored rhinoceroses. Everybody in the film is, at minimum, not anti-violence.
Their ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot
It’s so disheartening that the people doing the closed captions keep thinking his name is “Kane”.
It felt like, at the end, maybe the door to a Lucifer/Cain attraction is left just a little open? I’m not calling the show out, because I think it does a decent job of representing Lucifer’s sexuality, but it would have been nice if the “worst neighbor ever” montage had objectified some men, considering their cover…
The fight scene was awesome–I love when the show reminds us that under all the quips and goofy references, Lucifer is still capable of being fucking scary.
I have another stupid celebrity story that is of little consequence but I must still get it off my chest.
My boyfriend moved to the US two years ago and we met shortly after and began dating. Our group of friends here are always quoting 80's and 90's films and my boyfriend never gets the references so he is always eager for me to catch him up on some classic pop culture. It's the best, we've watched Wayne's World,…
I remember when I was younger thinking that the fact that I hated Troy and wanted her to end up with Michael meant I was some sort of boring conformist. I'm pleased that as an adult I can acknowledge it just makes me not-insufferable.
I saw this movie when I was in high school, and although I liked it, I could not understand how people didn't get this! Troy is a narcissist. Michael is a nice person. Troy had zero redeeming qualities.
What is your home address in case you give an episode I like a C+?
I relate way too much to Andy asking a Brit to pronounce words like "aluminum".
Of course he loves the fiercely independent people of Scotland, voting to secede from England, brewers of fine spirits, eaters of all meats, and rugged outdoorsmen. We should have seen that coming.
