Yeah. Which game with twisted Wonderland monster metaphors for actual 19th century child sex trafficking was he talking about? :/

Well, she can fit her whole fist in her mouth.

Yeah, the joke in the book is that Bridget's on the slimmer side of average but is just neurotic as fuck and obsesses over every fluctuating ounce. At one point she does get down to her goal weight and discovers afterwards that her friends were all really worried about her and thought that she was ill. The movies…

I've noticed this too in some older professional women in competitive industries. "I had to put up with this bullshit to get where I am, it's your turn now."

I can't lie, the Marnie/Hannah "I could never do a job where I had to rely on my looks - hang on, you don't even think I'd qualify for a job where I had to rely on my looks, do you!" scene resonated. Been involved in or witness to too many awkward conversations based around that theme.

I know exactly what you mean, and ninety nine times out of a hundred I'd take the path of clear and impossible-to-misunderstand-even-for-the-dumbest-of-dumbasses communication too. But at the same time there's that nagging concern/paranoia of "They've already made it clear they're a boundary pusher, and have misread…

A lot of the comments here have reminded me of that old survey statistic about what people's worst fear about the other sex was: men were most afraid women would laugh at them, women were most afraid men would kill them. This guy's pushed boundaries like whoa and is being either willfully or plain obtusely tone deaf.…

I've had GPs use it, combined with that thing where they measure around your waist and if you exceed a certain number then they read you the riot act about heart disease. Can't remember what that number is now.

I noted this too. Was it just poor fact-checking on the NRA's part, or did they just assume "Americans only care about America, nobody will even bother to see if this is full of crap or not"?

The cat found its way home because it blamed its owners for getting lost, and was out for revenge.

I can't believe this isn't a commercial network sitcom yet.

A hotel resort was maybe a bit too Dead Island-y maybe?

That just made me burst out laughing in a very silent office. :)

I sometimes wonder whether they've just mixed "ugly" up with "woman who would never ever bone me, not if we were the last fertile people in the world and the human race was otherwise doomed to extinction".

About Banks, not her comments about mothers, but did anyone else here have Elizabeth Banks and Rachel McAdams completely mixed up? For ages I kept confusing who was who, and thought McAdams was the love interest in 'Fred Claus' and Banks was in 'Red Eye' and had no fucking idea who was in 'Time Traveller's Wife'.

It's a bit from column A and a bit from column B. Yes, part of it's to do with Western influence, but a lot of Korean female beauty standards, such as pale complexion (it's a class thing), almond-shaped eyes (so not too narrow or slanted), perfect oval face (so. many. folk stories and romantic poems wax on about…

And she was also Katherine Mertreuil in the so-craptacular-it-was-axed-before-airing TV series based on 'Cruel Intentions' called 'Manchester Prep'.

I actually quite like the film even though it added the whole true love/Mina as reincarnation of Dracula's wife thing. The cast (apart from Keanu Reeves obviously) was pretty much spot on, in my opinion, and I LOVED the costume and film design.

Okay, but not (in my opinion) as good as 'Anno Dracula'.
