I worked in a cinema for the whole of the "Jurassic Park" run. Again, people assumed that because there were dinosaurs (and kids) that it was a movie for small children. We'd try to warn the parents at first, but they'd just ignore us and take their little ones anyway. After a few weeks, we'd just start laying odds…

She's okay now. Just had some difficulty at first. And she's patently non-religious.

There is that aspect to it, agreed, and mistakes are to be made. However, if you were writing a piece for the New York Times, you must necessarily be held to a standard higher than those who are standing on the street, discussing such things. And she got this *all* wrong. A woman who is transgender is NEVER to be…

I was impressed by that as well. I thought "The dude listened and learned. Good for him."

That was beautiful. Well done, her. And well done to the whole production staff.

I want to be able to like this ten more times.

Do Jordache jeans still exist?

I agree. The kids were mildly interesting, but Davina had so many amazing moments that she was far more interesting.

This is not news. Russell Crowe has always been Russell Crowe's biggest fan. His work sucks, he sucks, and, like Kevin Costner before him, I can't begin to imagine why people still pay him to hang around.

Agreed. And I would certainly go so far as to say that one should not become a parent if one isn't prepared to accept anything his/her child might bring them.

Honestly, I can't blame her for not being able to face up to this. I'm not saying she's not implicated, nor that she has a (rather large) share of the blame. I'm saying I'm not surprised she can't face or admit her part in it. This is HUGE. I couldn't face it either. But I try hard not to do anything to hurt…

I saw a screener for Annie yesterday and this whole sequence was hilarious! The movie itself was really adorable overall (though it did have some rough parts). In general a worthy remake.

Dammit! Now I don't want to see it! Wait, I was planning to stay away in droves already. Nevermind.

Fuck her. Seriously. I've had students come to me and tell me about being raped and did I tell them "Oh well, it's all your fault for ______?" Hell no! You get them to services, you get them to help, you DON'T ignore them or tell them it's all in their heads. That's how women get double PTSD. If they were my children,…

I agree. She's so cute and clever, I'd watch the show just for her :)

Please! This needs to be true! Midichlorions need to die!

Literally, every time I've flown, they've boarded the plane front to back, which really makes no sense. You end up shoving past all the people who got on first, trying your damndest not to whack their heads with your carry on. I'd think anything would be more efficient than that, but it's the only method I've ever…

Thanks for the well-wishes. I was also born after many unsuccessful pregnancies, born six weeks early, etc. And my mother's dogged choice to conceive me has actually contributed greatly to my feelings about freedom of choice. The thing is, I do believe that a fetus has life in it and I do believe that kids are…

I was just thinking about exactly this regarding the "counselor" viewpoint. Almost every law which has been attempted about women's reproductive health seems to have the same refrain: "Women need help to make decisions. They can't possibly know what's right without someone helping them think about it. We have to…

Not even the first clue who you're talking about. Hush, please, you're rude.
