As long as we're suggesting hotter men, might I contribute Michael Trucco?

True story, I met him once and I was reduced to a gibbering mess. I completely lost the ability to speak the English language. He is perfect.

Man, Marvel Now has been slaaaying it. I'm a regular Captain Marvel reader, and I look forward to adding this to my list, too.

I used to work on a cruise ship, and one of the line's smarter ideas was the prices in the crew bar. Crew members of my rank ("staff," the middle class) weren't forbidden to drink in passenger bars, but we had to pay full passenger price there, which was close to $10 for any drink. Meanwhile, down in the crew bar, a

They each lasted about four hours. We had to watch each scene maybe 2-3 times, and the rest of the time came from when they were setting things up between scenes (That sounds excessive, but it really isn't. I'm professional film crew, and when you're shooting a movie you might run a scene twenty or thirty times, and

You can't compare the Big Bang Theory and 2 Broke Girls with shows like Modern Family and Community. They're two totally different kinds of shows—laugh track is not the only thing that differentiates them. Big Bang Theory is a multicam, a type of sitcom that is descended from live theater—the sets are literally stages

I've been to two Big Bang Theory tapings, and neither time was the laughing forced or cued. I think it's just a psychological thing, to laugh harder when the actor is standing in front of you and it's serving as actual feedback.

Thank you for all of the suggestions!! I really appreciate it! I didn't give you a lot to go on, admittedly, but your suggestions were spot-on. I've read almost all of BKV's books, and I followed Uncanny and New X-Men back in the mid-00's but I fell out of it and it's kind of intimidating to try to figure out where to

I love going to movies by myself. If I'm just going to see what's playing, sure, friends are fine, but if there's something in particular I want to see, I don't want to do the whole "I don't know, what do you want to see?" dance.

Hey Jezzies, what woman-friendly comics should I be reading? I go into my comic shop once a month to buy Saga, but I'd love to grab other issues and/or TPBs while I'm there. I'm intrigued by this all-lady X-Men book.

It's called Super Fun Night! Coming this fall, I don't remember to what network. I've seen the pilot and I'm not crazy about it, I feel like the jokes are laughing at the girls more than with them, but I'm gonna give it a few episodes to see if it grows into itself a little better.

My first boyfriend and I openly referred to him as my "starter boyfriend." It was about eight years ago, I was 19 but had never dated anyone before, he was a summer fling. We knew it wasn't going to last but that I was learning a little bit about relationships from him and have some fun while we could. I'm not trying

It doesn't offend me to have a cis straight guy singing about gay rights. I feel kind of the same about this as I do about, say, men being in the "this is what a feminist looks like" meme—men trying to get other men to realize that it's not uncool to be feminist. Macklemore isn't trying to soothe LGBTQ kids, he's

Well, I reserve the morning three hours for working on my own projects (generally not for $$), while the afternoon five are for a long-term (not particularly fun) job that pays the bills, so it's kind of two separate jobs. And I have to put myself on a strict schedule—when I first started, I would procrastinate and

I'm a freelance writer and keep myself on a 5 days a week (Thursday-Monday) schedule at 8 hours a day (10am-1pm, 2pm-7pm). But recently I've been wondering what it would be like to increase myself to 8am-1pm, 2pm-7pm, and then take either Thursday or Monday off. Anyone have experience with this?

I don't see how this would be effective. People who are anti-choice would probably see the difficulty in getting an abortion this game prevents as being a good thing. If anything, I feel like it would show them there's still work to be done.

Who else really wants to go as a liberal journalist and really stir up some trouble? I'd consider being arrested by the town constable a badge of honor!

Beat me to it! This is one of my favorite fact-sheets of all time!

Nothing says "I'm not crazy" like stroking a stuffed cobra head while you talk.
