I understand that looking at any picture of Allen with a child could be unsettling if you believe him to be a child molester - although I think this one is pretty tame, in the sense that she's perched on his knee, he hasn't got his arms wrapped around her or anything that would suggest any kind of impropriety. I was

Not all Asians are the same! That's his daughter with Soon-Yi - it should also be obvious that this is a relatively recent photo because of Allen's age: he has been married to Soon-Yi for 20 years now. Whatever you think about the rest of his personal life, this is objectively a totally bland, non-objectionable

Ugh. I'm sorry you had to read that - it was in the middle of my evolution from one of 'those' girls who says they prefer boys because they don't cause drama, blablablah I'm the specialest snowflake. Needless to say, I agree with your whole comment. I can't believe I was such an idiot not so long ago.

I just find it so weird that they play for, like, five seconds at a time. They get four chances to travel ten yards? So, keeping in mind the pitch is 100 yards without the endzones, and they start at the middle, a team could have 20 attempts in a row? I don't know, I'm drowning all over again.

I'm halfway through season 3 of Friday Night Lights, does that count? The football parts absolutely baffle me, even though I've read the Simple English Wikipedia page for American Football about ten times.

Now playing

As ever, we Brits got there first - behold one of the finest sketches to come out of Soccer A.M, a comedy football show. The gag is that there is a Boston in England, that happens to have a football (soccer) team

Child molestation is legally a lesser crime than murder, so I'm sure this asshole would 100% approve of a naming one of the beers 'Child Raper', right? That would be hilarious and not at all problematic because, following his logic, legal severity is literally the only issue at stake here.

I'm pretty hopeful that this is going to be hilarious - I just hope the moviegoing public's appreciation for parody hasn't been roughened beyond repair by the "Movie" Movie abominations of the last ten or so years. And I am all for more Michael Shannon. His physique in the last half of this season of Boardwalk Empire

Basically, if you can't do it at your house, in a fantasy castle (which is still a house), or at the mall, it isn't for girls.

Yes, thank you! I am so not comfortable with telling men how to sit on empty subway cars because I'm projecting complex notions about 'dominance' and 'toxic masculinity' onto a simple display of physical comfort . There are enough real examples of those attitudes in day-to-day life that we don't need to start policing

Showing up at his mistress's house on a freaking moped didn't exactly help keep the secret. His attempts to break out of the 'Monsieur Normal' jokes have finally landed him in hot water...

They were probably my favourite books as a child, particularly 'School' because I LOVED Rose Red and wanted to be her best friend (and still do, deep down). I don't know what happened to Susan Coolidge, but the last two books (there were five, not three, which I only discovered a few months ago) are unintentionally

Am I totally losing my mind, or is the "would you rather eggs benedict or buckwheat pancakes" a partial paraphrase of something from What Katy Did At School? I'm sure it was related to the (slightly outmoded but awesome) Society for the Suppression of Unladylike Conduct...

I had to use Google to confirm that what you call Axe is what we in the UK call Lynx, but as someone with a teenage brother in the next room to me... I concur. I have to resort to making loud choking noises around him sometimes.

This is interesting because I always thought of Tina (wow, this first name thing is really working for me right now) as the 'sharper' one, the slightly more 'eye-rolling' one of the two, and Amy as a little less direct, a bit 'softer'. I mean, I knew she had a no-nonsense side to her - some of the anecdotes about her

Seems like the whole Nygong'o clan have got it going. That voice that came out of that kid! He sounded like Mufasa!

Wimpy is right. Ashley Wilkes is meant to be Scarlett's passion! It's a shame that Leslie Howard is best remembered for playing Ashley now - he was the first to admit that he wasn't at all right for the part. He was very refined, funny and - dare I say - downright sexy in many films in his native Britain, especially

I can imagine that the years pass by remarkably slowly if you're 21 and saving yourself for marriage...

Word. If only that town from Footloose was real, though.
