( 1 You can’t walk into the convention

Nor is your masculinity, as we know from your valued contributions amongst us lesbian shitasses! (No sarcasm, you know I adore you)

Pandering without it being written by Nicholas Sparks! Pandering without an emo soundtrack! Pandering without some ripped dude staring deep into some actresses eyes and saying some variation of “I’ve never met a girl like you before, you’re different. You’re not like the others.”

Re the new Ghostbusters : I don’t think I’ve seen a film so handily ace the Bechdel Test since Fried Green Tomatoes. Mad Max: Fury Road does pass, though.

To clarify: Different characters, different settings, nods to the original (there’s a Harold Ramis bust in the background of one scene, suggesting Egon existed in this world, too), and a similar but different plot.

Someone on Gawker the other day quite passionately opined that the remake clearly sucked because the actors come from Saturday Night Live.

It’s not a remake, it’s a reboot.

... why did Star Trek have to be remade? Why did Fright Night? Why would literally any massively popular and moderately original movie be remade? Because the movie business is, first and foremost, a business, and they want to make money.

I’m so stoked about Star Trek, but damn if I don’t want to see Ghostbusters more because ladies! Action! PANDERING TO ME, FINALLY!!

I could be totally off base but for most of us, having the POTUS remind me of my mother isn’t entirely a bad thing.

Hillary Clinton making mom jokes is great. She should make more of them. Reminding Americans that she is a mom who does things like tell mom jokes might help some of the fence sitters (true conservatives are lost causes on the Clinton front) remember that she’s not a WeinerCrusher PoliticoFemBot MK VIII.

They don’t promise not to make a difference. They promise to act as an emergency brake in the event Democrats elect a lunatic or something crazy happens on the eve of the convention.

I’ll never cease to be amazed by how quickly people forget that superdelegates jumped ship from Clinton to Obama in 2008 once it became clear that he was winning.

There’s no conspiracy. If Bernie were actually winning (or if he manages some major upsets in the next few big primaries) more superdelegates would join his…
