I think that would be impossible unless Carter wanted us to ignore hours upon hours of the Syndicate talking amongst themselves, the CSM privately explaining the Alien plot, the Alien Rebels, etc, most of which we saw as audience members but Mulder was never privy to. I think he's definitely being led by the nose by

Are whites seen as interchangeable? I had to suffer an Australian hamming it up as a Scot (and his film won five Oscars for the insult). Urgh ;D

It must be the sole exception but no one ever gets queasy about the pale, red-haired Jenette Goldstein playing Hispanic Marine Vasquez in James Cameron's Aliens.

Wasn't that Twin Peaks' Ben Horne?

I think people used that defense to justify why Ramsay thought he could act the way he could (I mean, he likes to skin people and pass it off as tradition, or even as a form of justified policing regarding taxes), not to justify (or enjoy) her brutalisation.

"My name is Darkstar, and I am… of the night!"

Love these things; I'm probably naive to hope that Ramsay Bolton gets diced this season. Damn you, George.

Looking at them in interviews together, I'd imagine he told her. They're as giddy as high school sweethearts, it's actually quite heartwarming.

Oh yeah, absolutely, that's why I love this place :)

Pretty shocking that these attitudes still exist even in regard to famous actresses resuming famous roles, especially in light of the recent rumours that David Lynch almost walked away from the Twin Peaks revival because Showtime didn't want the older actresses back because no one would apparently want to see

Honestly, JMP's reaction is the reason I can't be bothered chipping in and discussing these things most of the time: anyone whose opinion differs ever so slightly is deemed a suspect or an enemy *shrug*

Okay dude.

Apologies, I don't recall saying that a minor fluff or a missed point invalidated her entire body of work, and to clarify, I don't think it does, though how you can get Hitman's arguably central mechanic wrong after hours of play, I don't know. Curious: did she issue a correction, even as an annotation in the video?

You mean we don't all look as dashing and charismatic as Nathan Drake, as singularly powerful as Kratos, or as cool as Solid Snake? ;D

Haha, I'm not planning on fighting anyone (I'd probably lose.)

In Hitman, you are punished for killing anyone other than bad guys. If an NPC (female or otherwise) so much as lays eyes on you, you are penalised. If you kill any of them, you're penalised. Ideally, the best way to succeed at the game is to slink around and kill the one target you're assigned, unlike, say, GTA, where

I saw her video beforehand, but you're probably right that it's no good to get into a debate (merely because I think these things get undeservedly heated and people have all sorts of preconceptions about one another due to the divisionary nature of the whole thing.) But I think you're on the money with the correction

I'd read some time ago they were trying to craft a CGI Bruce Lee for this and my interest just plummeted. Given that there's nothing about it in the article, I can safely assume the Lee estate nixed that?

From what I can tell many are simply overreacting and seriously overcompensating because Anita's videos, when first unveiled, were held up as irrefutable and almost revolutionary by many media outlets, and you know how the internet works when something is widely celebrated, whether it deserves it or not (as a critic,

He's a scientist by day, feminist "critic" by night. His videos typically focus on Sarkeesian and the like or, sometimes, biology. To be honest, while I find the tone of the videos terrible (full of fake sniggering at clips of Anita, etc.) some of the points are fair regarding her tendency to, well, sometimes just
