This is so sad and my condolences to the families of those dead and best wishes to those recovering. Going anywhere there are people is so terrifying. One of the NRA-mindset arguments is that the knowledge that anyone might be armed can deter criminals. Even when shootings like this happen in states with relatively…

It reminds me of a messed up post I saw where someone discredited a rape survivor by saying she was too open in sharing her story an seeking justice. Their argument was that all the rape survivors they knew just wanted it swept under the rug and forgotten about. So in the mind of some people, women who are really truly…

Apparently the same thing is happening to biology.

I saw him as a child while riding my bike down the road past some woods. Now many years later, despite not saying this at the time of the incident, my mother claims it was probably just some guy known to live in the woods and have let his hair grow. But why would she say this now and not then? Could it have been…

Bigfoot is not a hoax. I have visual confirmation.

It doesn’t require a college education or a syllabus, it requires listening to a variety of black women’s voices. The “they just need higher education/they’re too young/they haven’t been exposed to much” is such a negation of responsibility that is not reserved for black people who are even younger. It is especially…

As someone said elsewhere, it could also be a mockery of the people who want the names of teams like the Redskins, and places like Squaw Valley and Niggerhead, to be changed. I want to believe it is making fun of people who do equate calling white people crackers to the n-word, but it could definitely be taken as…

I loved that one! It, along with the haunted house one and the amusement park one, are also some of the absolute scariest in my opinion.

I can definitely see how that line about “think for ourselves” is an oversimplification and erases over some things, especially depending on which sect. However, as a former Christian very much drilled with the fear of hell, I can see why it would work and make sense for Cindy. This is hard to explain, but in some…

There are gay, non-bisexual identiying to any degree, people against gay relationships. They believe that being same-sex attracted can be inborn, but think that it should be denied like any other temptation and that they should be celibate or marry someone of the opposite-sex and just avoid any same-sex relationships.

The only way this story could be cooler is if it turned out no such attraction ever existed, or that they tried it once but something went wrong and they never held it again (the one timed they tried it being many years before you went). Sounds like the kind of thing I would love to try but probably have to dip out on…

I admire your cinematc fortitude. And I am both glad and disapointed everyone wasn’t imagining that the two leads seem to genuinely have no chemistry whatsoever in all the promotional stuff. And what’s worst, they reshot some scenes for chemistry apparently, so the scenes you saw were supposedly the sexiest they could…

What?! I thought that was a joke in Ocean’s Thirteen meant only to show how awful one casino manager was. The manager in question mandated weight checks and measurements, and when Bernie Mac’s character protested it must be a right’s violation, another one pointed out they were hired as “models that serve.” I can not…

I’m starting to think may be it is a work of genius and I just don’t get it. I mean, could Shakespeare, Hughes, Keats, O’Neil, Hansberry or anyone else considered great have come up with unique, creative, and evocative lines such as:

Believe she wanted to start at the end. And maybe she was going to try invoking a structure similar to Secretary where we begin with them in the middle of some submission/service play and then go with the story of how they got to that point and what happens after. But I can’t bring myself to see it. And this from…

That line is super creepy to me because I associate it with some parents who use corpeal punishment and use the line “misbehave again and I’ll knock you into next week.” Like, if it was intentionally used to invoke a violent undercurrent, then okay, but not sure I can give anything associated with this franchise…

Eh. I can like Piper somewhat but one of my problems is that her characterization sometimes seems inconsistent. The moments I have liked her are when she made statements that showed growth and understanding (her statement about not being any different than anyone else in there to her mom was a great one, her speech…

Master/Mistress of Ceremonies? Chief of Hospitality? National Concierge? Person Who Gets all the Recognition in Good Times but Blames the Mostly Nameless White House Social Secretary if Things Go Wrong and Crap Hits the Fan?

Except the person who started the hashtag has said in more than one interview she was never serious about canceling Colbert and that she is a fan of the show. She even spoke as a representative of his fictitious organization when making the statement of “cancel Colbert.” So doesn’t exactly prove Seinfield’s point so…
