Saying rape victims get privileges after they're attacked is like saying cancer patients get privileges like hospital beds and fancy medicine. ... Except that rarely do people think cancer patients are faking the canccr.

I watched the filmed production on Netflix when I found out they were making a movie and the sad thing is that considering the cast, the darker sarcasm would have worked well with them. I'm really hoping Chris Pine's Prince is still a complete asshole.
Yeaaaaaah... the German version of fairy tales are super violent and fun. Also see: Struwwelpeter
I don't really think I can bare to look at the comments of this article, but can I just say that I hope (really hope) that it's mostly supportive and understanding instead of the regular judgmental "Well, you had a choice" bullshit. For the love of god, if you can't understand how this bastard manipulates girls and…
You know, which Bruce being as old as he is in the upcoming film (unless they de-age Affleck a bunch), it wouldn't be the craziest thing to have Oracle at least make an appearance with the hint of a larger role in further movies. And maybe just a Birds of Prey movie cough cough.
I may or may not have come in just to say that.
I love so much of the DCAU's version of Hawkgirl. The fact that she was being a rock and a hard place from the very start (although we didn't know that until later) and that she ended up betraying both sets of families even though she finally did what she thought was right ... oh god, and then her friendship with…
We come from the dark, mysterious island of Femistopia, where we emerge from the sand fully formed and angry we don't have penises. Clearly.
I was going to say, this hoax only makes feminists look bad and perpetuates the fallacy that we're here to end manhood as we know it.
And besides the whole "emotions are things we have and it's okay to feel sadness sometimes" bend that the movie seems to have, can we all just acknowledge that Phyllis Smith is also Phyllis from The Office?? And Mindy Kaling is in this! OFFICE REUNION!
Because it's so PASSIONATE!
The thing about MLP is that adults do like cartoons. Unironically. I'm talking about myself, a 28 year old woman who is patiently awaiting the return of Gravity Falls this summer.
TROUBLE IN RIVER CITY!
The story progresses where you see he's not perfect. That's kind of the point - that she sees him as more complex than the "perfect guy" and that's who she loves. I mean I get that the trailers show a specific POV of the story, but actual story is better than that.
The only time I almost teared up as the flashback to Hazel's mom sobbing and saying she wasn't going to be a mom anymore. The point where I broke down reading the book was that confrontation between Hazel and her mom towards the end, so yeah that was my "shoot am I going to cry?" moment.
I liked how in the book too Hazel has to deal with well-meaning people being accidentally condescending to her and how she tries her best to handle it politely. That felt very real to me, both as someone who was once a teenager and who have several friends with chronic illness who have to deal with being treated as an…
I don't think it had much on plot, to be sure. Actually in a recent interview Green said that plots are really his weaker skill, which is why he is glad he didn't write the screenplay. But I think 1. the characters are engaging and 2. the story does it's best to be frank about chronic illness and disability. At least…
I'm going to still try to see EoT because I like sci-fi time-twisted stuff like that and I've heard the acting is solid. But yeah, I did go see TFioS last weekend.
So it's cool to like or dislike whatever you want. Really, it is.
About the Anne Frank house thing ... yeah it's awkward. In the movie's defense, they focused way more time and attention to Hazel willing herself up the many stairs (and the ladder) up to the attic than they do showing the kiss. The whole sequence is way more about her making the choice to push her struggling body up…
