That could very well be. Another paper, for which my library doesn't have access, (http://www.sciencedirect.co… tested both the devaluation theory and the theory that excess supply of work resulted in the decreased wages in feminized occupations and concluded that neither of their tests could explain the phenomenon.…

You know kidding aside, the phenomenon she describes basically happened. A couple of studies looked at what happened when jobs that mostly employed men shifted to mostly employing women and found that median wages in those jobs decreased (woohoo for the employers). It wasn't just the women entering the field at lower…

My brain aged Meg up to 15 or so because I remembered Calvin kissing her. It was also weird to read His Dark Materials and have so much true-love kissing (and IIRC, implied other stuff) between 11 year old Lyra and Will. For that matter, even the Romeo and Juliet adaptations I've watched that emphasize how young…

Please, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. But when his stated reasons for refusing to watch a movie are quality and an opposition to cash grabby remakes, stick with those principles. Don't abandon the line that's drawn in the sand for a movie that's by all accounts worse and just as cash grabby and remaky.

It's the one movie out of all these where an actress was hounded off Twitter, then hacked, and where the director received death threats a whole year before the first trailer even dropped, and there was a concerted campaign to rate it lowly on IMDB and Rottentomatoes. Yes, just a minority of idiots being assholes but…

Doesn't Ghostbusters have 2 animated series to its name?

Come on, that's a false equivalency. Ripley still remains one of the most well known action heroines in part because we haven't had that many great female-led action movies to surround her. Adding more heroines to the pool that we have has both a greater impact and a more beneficial impact than adding one more guy to…

Angry Video Game Nerd refused to review Ghostbusters 2016 because Ghosbusters 1984 was important to him and remakes bad/cash grab. He's gone on to review the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which is a sequel of a remade movie.

It's an illustration of Jack Burton's point that people want an original property that remixes old ideas. Or rather, the relative failures of these properties indicates that people don't even want that, but only want remixes of old properties.

Pacific Rim? Edge of Tomorrow?

This was really exciting and all sorts of cathartic after she ran out of gas at the Warped Wall last year.

I watched Ten Inch Hero for Clea Duvall, which I think canonizes me as her biggest fan, because that movie was so so bad. The Intervention sounds like it'll at least be tolerable so I'm going to check it out.

I watched this on a plane and rather enjoyed it. The stop motion scenes adapted from the Little Prince are the highlight but the wraparound story also charmed me. I was dreading a lazy Blue Sky/Dreamworks-like movie but I thought the new material was actually quite clever.

Andy Garcia's delivery of "Don't you ever compare me to the Jaws mayor!" is one I'm still chuckling about.

I need to point out that earlier, I wasn't disputing that the DNC was in with Hillary. The fact that Obama prevented Clinton's emails about TPP from being available was already testament to that. I disputed that the evidence that you chose to present in that instance that the DNC supported Hillary over Bernie was at…

I liked it a lot. I liked it better than original Ghostbusters which I thought was just okay. I thought Hemsworth and McKinnon were the standouts and everyone else was good. The friendship dynamic is more pronounced here than the original where Murray soaked up most of the screen time. Could have done without one…

Clinton formally announced her candidacy on April 12 2015. Sanders formally announced his candidacy on May 26 2015 and Martin O' Malley on May 30 2015. At the time of that meeting Clinton was the only one who was formally running so it's a stretch to say that this is proof of the DNC colluding against Sanders and O'…

I found this series really dull, a lot of the humor was cringeworthy (we get it, Hunk likes food and puking) and the characters were poorly developed for the time given to them. Keith is a handsome shallow archetype. Zarkon is another of those dull villains who wants to rule the galaxy just because. The others have…

If they continue sucking like this one, yep.

"I've read this before." That's my point. I view the Freudian analysis here as a stealth Clickhole parody of many other essays. Yes, I could be reading too far into it and it could be inappropriate for a review. It still made me laugh. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
