Thank you. Also, throw out people who text during the film. Turn off your damn phone or leave.

Clerks stand in the aisles throughout the movie. Anyone whips out a phone or starts whispering—they are thrown out without a refund.

Yes. Can this story stop being about blaming women for rape? Do they not get that finding ways to blame women for rape is not some hot new angle?

You guys need to stop. If you want to claim any moral high ground here, a story about a man assaulting and raping women has to stop being about whether or not we should blame a woman. If you want to keep reporting on the Weinstein story, find a way to make it about Weinstein.

Proof:

It’s going to suck? So what? There have been four Ocean’s movies so far; the original, the remake, and the remake’s two sequels. Three of those movies have sucked. The only good one was, at best, fluffy-if-stylish fun.

Something about this makes me hate it. But I will see it.

I hope like hell someone’s protecting that girl right now.

I wish I could remember the source but I read something that summed it up as, “The patriarchy isn’t so bad if you can marry into it.” White women, with their ability to bear men white children, have the best chance to do that. Add to that the fact that for some white women it’s their best chance at success.

I already oops-replied to one. Oh well!

The people, by a margin of 3 million, voted for Clinton.

We’ve been taught that birth is a natural process, maaaan, and we were built to do it, so birth should be fine. I think even a lot of people in the medical community have forgotten how very dangerous it can be. Also, a feeling that something is really, really wrong is a medical symptom. It’s true that if you’re a…

What’s frightening about the high rate of mortality among black women is it holds steady despite wealth or education level and there is no corresponding increase in mortality among other minority women. What the hell is it? Is it specific racism towards black women? Is it a physiological fact that medicine hasn’t…

Nope. Her father *was* a Lutheran (priest? bishop? whatever the title) and he converted. He *is* a full on Catholic priest with a wife. It was allowed via an old church law, and you need special dispensation from the Vatican to make it official, but it can be (and was) done.

For those of you who want an interesting look at the mindset behind these cover-ups, check out Priestdaddy, by Patricia Lockwood. Her dad was a Lutheran priest. If a different religion’s priest joins the Catholic priesthood, he gets to be a Catholic priest while keeping his wife and kids. There are chapters on the sex…

Dealing with you the way I deal with everyone who deletes my replies when they get inconvenient. Simply replying to myself!

“We find it sleazy because it’s shallow, and so utterly devoid of anything approaching real love or affection.” 

I think you’re probably right.

Absolutely, I agree. It’s yet another reason why I believed Amber Tamblyn when she said James Woods tried to take her to Las Vegas when she was 16. (Besides just believing on principle, because why the hell would she lie.) I read that Woods is around 70, and his last three girlfriends were between 19 and 25. So yes,…

“Open secret” can mean different things. For example, I heard continuously (through online sites, I’m not part of the entertainment industry) that Singer gave parties for 18-25-year-old guys to get drunk and party and possibly sleep with him. That’s not a good sign. If everyone you hook up with is way younger than…
