I know what you mean about Scarlett Johannsen in Match Point; her character is vacuous. But I love that movie. I don’t even know why I like it so much — it’s not that great, and I know that. But I’m so entertained by it; it’s actually the one Allen movie I can still watch these days.

When I was in my 20s, I boarded a plane that had come from Texas, and the guy next to me was a fake cowboy type, already drunk. Before the plane even took off, he put his hand on my leg! When the drinks cart came around, he got another beer and I got a Coke. I took out my pill case to take a valium, as is my habit on…

Everyone? Great, show “them.” And all those white women who voted for Trump will suddenly see the light and not do so a second time, and all those women voting and campaigning for Moore will be won over by our righteous seizure of the “moral high-ground.” Fantasy. I mean, whether he resigns or not, it’s not likely…

James McAvoy has gone from gentle, tiny Scotsman who stars in period dramas to hugely buff action man seemingly overnight and I am surprised.

Fuck this woman. Fuck fuck fuck this woman.

I want to hear more about the owl.

it really is pretty lol how willing the left is to eat their own with the most scant of evidence. this is a roger stone/sean hannity hit piece in action and the left is too dumb to realize it. who would have thought that a “believe any accusation no matter what at any time anywhere by anybody” policy could be…

Ugh I can’t lie, I do love Braveheart :(

“we also, maybe, shouldn’t be more outraged than the victim.”

Regarding Al Franken: His actions were horrible, but at what point do we can we stop painting everyone with the same brush? He was a comedian, albeit one that I never found particularly funny. He’s clearly joking in the one picture that I saw, and grabbing someone’s butt during a photo in the past sounds like a…

At the risk of keeping myself grey for all eternity, Beyonce really isn’t as great as everyone thinks she is. I’m always here for POC getting their check, but she’s not the be(y)-all and end-all.

I think my whole issue with Pink is that she has always tried to posit herself as an ‘anti popstar’, basically putting down the Britneys, Christinas, etc. with her whole ‘Stupid Girls’ and the like. But what I never understood was why, in the Stupid Girls video, she is attempting to satirize the sexy car wash scene...…

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after…

I have a wild, visceral, almost rageful hatred for Zoella. I totally understand that she’s sort of pretty and starting “vlogging” in the right place at the right time. However, this is a girl who has no discernible skills, other than buying every sweater on ASOS and showing them to her subscribers, or buying every…

Making comparisons between other allegations or political parties is not helpful.

I work in the same building as Franken, and honestly, yes this is really bad, yes, this is a #metoo story, yes he deserves to be held accountable, but there are degrees, and this happened before he was in the senate, when he was in the comedy world. Now, there’s a reason I’m bringing all of these things up and it’s…

step down?

Comparisons inherently legitimize/forgive some instances of sexual harassment and scapegoat others.

You really think this is so egregious that he needs to resign over it? I’m sorry I just don’t agree.

I agree with what you said, and im all for holding someone accountable, but...it doesnt look like he’s touching her in that photo. Childish? Yes? A little pervy? Yes. But we cant keep painting these scenarios with the same brush. And really, the #metoo tag? Id be embarrassed to lump myself in with people who had been…
