Watched this with my youngest daughter over the weekend and immediately felt quite a bit of truth in it. I stopped growing at 6' 3" and received endless shit about it through high school and college. “Why don’t you play basketball?” (Because I wasn’t that good.)Why aren’t you on the volleyball team?” (Because I

Sorry, I won’t be apologizing for telling other adults not to ogle my minor daughters for the purpose of judging/shaming them.

Watched quite a bit of this over the last few nights. Surprisingly engaging. I developed quite a bit of admiration for some of the MPs. I also loved the passive-aggressive but unfailingly polite cutdowns delivered from both sides of the debate.

SO much was cut out of that movie before release. The original opening with the voice-over, the original ending where it rained (and Sub Girl returned), the FULL dance number at Liquid Silver, the whole scene with Keslee interrogating TG in the shaft... It really would have been much more coherent if all that had been

If the Patriots pick Brown up, the other 31 owners should kick them out of the league.

OMG this is the best.  All the power to these two.  Extra power to the bride for defending her sister and summing up exactly what many people feel but won’t say about the bridal/wedding industry.

As a Tennessee alumna who’s heard moaning and frustration regarding this football team for the last eighteen years, I can wholeheartedly say to everyone who endlessly worries and frets and pontificates about the “state of the program” and the quality of the recruiting classes and how cowardly it is for players to

Yeah, this was kind of a glaring omission. Easiest way to fix this is just make the list 6 instead of 5, so none of the others get dropped

GD it. We’re not ever going to get this New Mutants movie, are we?

Unfortunately, this is exactly right. Once that fetus that they consider a person is born, its personhood--and that of its mother--goes away.

This comment is sadly underappreciated and needs more love.

Yankton, your opinion is shared by many. That Superman/Legion of Substitute Heroes teamup with Ambush Bug in the 30th century remains one of my most beloved comics ever.

Absolutely. And that brief incarnation of the Justice League with Dick’s Batman, Supergirl, Donna Troy, Jade, Jesse Quick and Congorilla was fantastic. So, so much storytelling potential there that was thrown away.

This is horrible.  I really hope things are better for you now, because you deserve so much more.  

As soon as I hear someone refer to him-/herself as a Good Christian, that tells me all I need to know about what kind of person they truly are—awful and trying very hard to hide it.

The French aristocracy was winning for a long time, too.

Absolutely a legit reason to say NOPE.  It stinks, it makes people around the smoker sick, it’s an expensive addiction and it’ll eventually cause horrible medical problems for the smoker and people around him/her.

Regarding the concept of no one hiring an Army general as head coach for a football team:

Tennessee’s state legislature has been a farce for a good fifteen years. Far too many idiots and bigots (Stacey Campfield, Marsha Blackburn, Scott Desjarlais), far too few people with common sense and a willingness to hear both sides of an issue.

For me personally, it’s not the fact it’s a snake, it’s the fact that it fell through the ceiling.  I think deer are cute, but if one of them fell through my ceiling into my bed, I would not be calm.
