It is largely unrecognizable.

Better to let 1,000 heterosexuals suffer than to impede their cruelty towards even 1 homosexual.

Carrying the show? Meredith has long been one of the least compelling characters on the show, and in recent years the rare episodes that really focused on her over the more interesting supporting characters have been borderline soporific. Kate Walsh/Addison Montgomery is a massive step up.

A house should be decorated for Halloween by October 1st (okay, if the first is a Saturday, it’s okay to START that day and spend the weekend decorating). That means you need the better part of the prior month to shop for any elements your display may require.

I do not find Lost Boys a stretch at all (I actually find it pretty glaring), but I’ll be sure to check out the Google results!

No, I just mean I regret being such a compulsive nit-picker that I felt the need to make a public record of my reaction!

But there’s no reason to assume it was a contraction that does not make sense in context, when it could easily have been a contraction that did make sense in context.

Regardless, I regret the impulse that made me post about it at all.

I assume you’re right. And I regret the impulse that made me post about it.

“I’d already been to the store, and so did not feel like venturing out again” certainly does not mean “I would already been to the store, and so did not feel like venturing out again.”

I also regret the impulse that made me post about in the first place, and would be happy not to worry about it any further.

Why has the word “have” been inserted here? In this instance, “I’d” can safely be assumed to be a contraction of “I” and “had.”

“If I had have used...”?

Almost all of these are hideous, and the Miles Teller one is among the grossest of the lot.

Heck, even we accepted the bogus idea that children might be too young to learn about slavery or oppression... what did George Washington Carver ever do that might offend their sensitive little minds?

You seem to have missed the part about their specific focus. Bottom of the second paragraph.

‘Dracula’s Daughter’, ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2', ‘The Lost Boys’...

Speaking as an American, I’ve mostly heard “spaz” to refer to someone being physically awkward/uncoordinated, with a secondary meaning of someone who cannot control physical expression of their excitement about something.

While that’s a bit of an overstatement, horror is a genre deeply linked with the concept of “the other,” meaning that issues of race, religion and sexuality are often integral elements of the genre’s themes and subtext. A number of important early genre filmmakers were gay, and their experiences would inform the work…

I just spent the weekend on short film shoot with two child actors, ages 8 and 12, and a couple of months ago was on a shoot with a 13 year old. I’ve never directed children (I was DP on both of these shoots), but I was very careful to observe how the directors worked with them, and I can assure you, all three…

You recognize that in this case the error was intentional, right?

“Literally” having a secondary non-literal meaning as “not literally” is one of the most gloriously twisted things ever to happen to language. And it’s not like it obfuscates anything; the meaning is always clear from context.

Yup! And when we cease to be critical in our relationship with art, we both close ourselves off from much of the enjoyment it has to offer, and open ourselves up all the more to the influence of propaganda.
