Yep, that happens. In fact, the first thing that happens is they hear true love and go "Welp, we gotta get her to that guy she likes so they can kiss and fix this!" And that doesn't work out.

I agree. I thought to add in Howl's and Ponyo, but Howl's is very much European based as far as the story and the character designs. And Ponyo might be better for younger kids. If your students end up liking Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, I think Toroto or Kiki's Delivery Service could be other options you can…

What about Persepolis? I still need to see it myself (really I need to be better about sending back my netflix discs so that I can go through my queue of movies I keep saving for later), but it's been on my radar for a while as a story about a Muslim WOC written by said Muslim WOC. And imdb lists it as PG-13.

I was involved with exactly one prank this year - I helped a friend who writes fan fic and has a bit of a following in her fandom write a fan fic that started out relatively normal (I mean it was smutty, so take of that what you will) and devolved into a plethora of bad erotic cliches. Manhoods were throbbing, inner…

I think Colbert could have found a way to acknowledge that the joke wasn't very good (in context even). But yeah, I guess the segment could have gone worse last night.

Plus, being inconvenienced when you can't use footage you shot years and years ago the way you wanted < writing a clunky ending to fit in the perfect box you wanted the ending to be when you started the story.

Then deal with it. Use footage of them looking at him, then maybe saying offscreen something. Or have it end with him talking to the Mother after leaving the room with the kids (this was an idea a reviewer had this morning, not me). I get that it's a hurdle, but I'm pretty sure ripping apart a good chunk of the…

A reviewer I just read this morning enjoyed the Barney stuff. And yes, it was a guy reviewer because while I think a lot of men could see the problem I really don't see HOW a lady reviewer could find that charming.

I mean that makes sense ... but then if the show doesn't fit the ending you had in mind, just throw out the original ending. Don't force a long-running show into an ending that no longer works for it.

Note that I only saw a few reruns through the years it was one, but I know enough about the show from my friends who watch and just general "I know about stuff that's on TV" knowledge.

So I'm not the only one who thought of this, right?

When I actually watched SVU (so I guess mid-2000s, mostly on TNT), I remember that they did acknowledge that it was hard for victims/survivors to deal with going on the stand, but it always made it seem like just the trauma of the crime shook them. Which, you know, is totally reasonable on its own. But now I've…

Yes, I will say that there were a few gif sets here and there that I enjoyed immensely ... doesn't hurt that I'm a DC Comics fan and Matt Bomer is my fancast for Nightwing, so those gifs were ... appreciated. I just don't want the banana hammock at eye level, is what I'm saying.

I might be one of the few straight women in the country who didn't check out that movie ... I don't find male strippers super appealing mostly because I don't feel like paying to have a guy's sweaty junk in my face. But I get the general appeal if only for some female gaze and yes, Cumberbatch as some random side…

I was going to comment with "MATTER CAN'T CREATED, STUPID MAGAZINE!" but then I fact-checked it and okay, technically it can when you're dealing with quantum mechanics and black holes, but the point is ORGASMS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

Who else is hoping for a bad, almost unforgivable Brooklyn accent?

I was going to comment that this is the exact definition of barking up the wrong tree, but it's pretty clear that these scumbag dickwads see lesbians as weird freakshows that they can poke with a stick ... the stick being the penis they will never ever want inside them. It's all about power and having the ability to…

The lack of representation on television (and movies too, of course) has been something I've been thinking about a lot lately. I do think it has to be looked at on a macro level because if the problem wasn't long-term and in the majority of entertainment/media, a show like How I Met Your Mother wouldn't be a problem.…

Yeah, can we get that story next?

I remember catching Sports Night reruns on Comedy Central in the early 2000s. I was about 13.
