There are big tent subcultures and tall tower subcultures. People from big tent subcultures, in my experience, tend to be more comfortable with themselves.

As someone who is normally quite sensitive to sublimated fat-phobia in fitness equipment advertising (because let's face it, it's rarely sublimated that well) I actually disagree entirely with this assessment of the ad. In fact, reading the commentary before watching the ad, I expected the child to morph through the…

I'm a chick, and my best male friend is marrying me.

I cannot get over how much Henry Cavill looks like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.

This list needed only one thing, and it wasn't here. Multi-episode story arcs. If they do a Trek show now, as long as they don't make it too dumb (love triangles every episode, etc.), they'll be doing it with networks who no longer view arcs as syndication kryptonite, and that should make it a lot better.

I had sort of the same reaction - my jaw dropped when I heard that in an American theater. Then I looked over at the mister and nothing. He hadn't heard the word before, so no offense. He thought they made it up to sound like an Asgardian curse. :)

There's no comic book lady-lawyer with a bionic briefcase whose superpower is competence and whose costume is a sensible pantsuit. That doesn't exist.

So, basically, Pixar now pays Disney's bills with their good movies while focus groups shovel buttloads of money at 'can't fail' concepts that turn out to be incredibly awful turkeys, yes? This, John Carter, Lone Ranger...it's almost like there's a parable about artistic integrity in there somewhere.

I have actually used this one to discuss rape joke's cultural usefulness for a while. I would never tell a rape joke, but humor has been used to cope with horror forever, and there's a very rich vein of that in all Jewish humor.

Dammit, I'm totally a lesbian. However will I break it to my boyfriend?

My boyfriend wants to be a stay at home dad when the time comes. To which I say, more power to you, darling, because you'll be way better at it than me.

I really get the sense that Pixar drank Ghibli juice for about a year before they made this. Which just makes me more excited for it.

"But officer, in my defense, I knocked over that bodega for GOD."

So this conversation is my life, as I am a genuine bona fide little person and thus qet treated quite literally like a perpetual child. What's worse is I'm in journalism, and part of my job interrogating old men and making them say things they don't want to say.

Yeah, this is basically what I thought of when I read all the comments here by men talking about how awesome their female bosses were. Not that those guys are probably not great employees, but I have seen this often.

I and my Axe Cop trade paperbacks were already well aware of this phenomenon.

Frakkin terrifying. 0:34 sent a chill down my spine. Reminds me of playing Bioshock in a good way.

Channing Tatum seems okay. So does Tom Jones.

I'm a journalist, and have covered both nursing homes and prisons that were investigated for substandard conditions. Trust me, you don't want to be in either place.

Wow, Dabney Coleman's still alive.
