Ray Harryhausen’s skeletons gave me nightmares as a child, but you still get a star!

She’s bff’s with Chelsea Handler. What more did you really need?

I sympathize with Charlize. I’m part bog-monster (on my mother’s side), and since the advent of CGI, it’s tough to get roles anymore. No one wants to hire an actual monster when ILM can just whip up some green-screen thingy instead.

I’d be out of the greys if I weren’t so damned stunning.

As someone that has traveled there for work let me just say that it is always 1950 in Northern Ireland. It wanted to be England 1950 when I first visited it in the late 1970s, and it still wanted to be 1950 England when I visited it last summer. Nothing ever changes there, even the South of Ireland has evolved (a…

Who, if she were a private citizen, and not Queen, would still not have been able to vote during a time when she embodied the Crown in an hereditary constitutional monarchy. All laws made during her reign were created by Parliament, by men. Either get a fucking clue or sit down and shut the fuck up.

Right, but Catholic opposition to abortion is well-founded on both sides of the border in Ireland. Sinn Fein, the main party for the nationalists in the north, is still reasonably opposed to abortion except in certain circumstances, as does the SDLP, which is the runner-up party amongst the nationalists. The unionists…

And for the record, those signs in that photo were probably paid for with good aul US dollars. I’m Irish and part of the reason we (the Republic) and Northern Ireland still have anti-abortion laws is because the pushiest, loudest, biggest, most obnoxious anti-abortion lobbying groups are donated money hand over fist…

Also feel the need to add:

Don’t worry, this is an example of a Jezebel writer offering readers only a tiny snippet of a story and then twisting it for clickbait value. There are plenty of actual news outlets covering the project (both its potential benefits AND flaws) in-depth, but you can be sure that the VAST majority of commenters here…

Ha, ha. Those tongues are loooong. I only fed Ivan a carrot and it was in my hand. I did not get frenched by a giraffe.

and this is why god invented wine and valium. traveling with someone who has anxiety & claustrophobia is the absolute worst. bonus tip: the wine and valium cocktail can also be shared with the person who has the anxiety/claustrophobia!

My husband is a Type 1 diabetic and once had a severe insulin reaction on a flight. We were at the back of the plane and he got super verbally combative with me when I tried to get him to drink a soda. He told me he was “about to go nonlinear” (which is as close to a threat as his gentle self gets) and I told him he…

Yeah, it’s pretty common. Remember, it’s called “fight-or-flight” for a reason.

The Hebdo massacre was a crime and appalling. But the journal itself was a shit-stirring mess. And remains so. (the nonsense with Stromae on their cover this week is a PERFECT example of Hebdo assholism.)

I have no idea what I just read.

This guy is also this guy: http://nypost.com/2012/09/17/liu…

It’s the same guy. Unless Hyzagi is a common French name carried by more than one “Jacques” who all happen to be writers working in America currently.

I was startled to see the Observer piece going viral when I saw the writer’s name because I actually was in a few classes with him as an undergrad at the Sorbonne about 25 years ago. He was already a self-important sexist prick who always told us he had more important things to do than whatever we were doing in class…

Hyzagi, pioneer of schlong-form journalism ...
