I was talking about the anti-vaxxers clinging to their theories in defiance of all available scientific evidence. I have no problem feeling sympathy for parents dealing with autistic children. DeNiro sounds like an asshole saying we need to talk about vaccines when there’s plenty of science to suggest it was his old…

I saw Colombiana in the theater, so I think that makes me a top tier Saldana fan. I was going to say something nice about her performance and make a joke about the director’s obvious foot fetish but I googled the movie to make sure I was spelling it correctly and saw that Amandla Stenberg played young Zoe and now I’m…

It’s so unbelievably disloyal to your children.

Milla Jovovich promotional shot for the next Resident Evil.

I’m not sure if it’s funny or sad that Katy Perry’s sparkle tits were enough to distract Lutkin from the red flag that is the Guardian’s last line:

I don’t really know the details of this case, but as a general rule when the choice is Archbishop vs. Nuns, one should go with the nuns. Especially in a real estate deal.

POLKA DOTS

if you’re white and want to commit crimes or traffic violations, Chicago seems like the place to be

Maybe she’s just a fan of hickeys on her neck and she’s trying to keep it discreet.

I’m rereading my comments and not seeing how they can be interpreted as arguing that rape was not a real thing that happened. Yes, tons of rape historically and in the present. Much of it far more horrific than what is traditionally presented on screen. My disagreement is with the argument that the historical reality…

Ok. I’m ten minutes into the first episode and am now dying to know where I can apply to work for these people.

Hence the classic Ted Casablanca name for her: Fish Sticks. But with all we’ve learned about Gwyneth since then, I think it’s fair to assume Artisanal Sex Toys are involved.

Well, members of Mensa do tend to be insecure suckers, so....

Yeah, no. The sexual violence isn’t in the story out of a devotion to historical accuracy, it’s there because the author finds it exciting. That’s like Bullshit Excuses 101. You don’t get to throw in fantasy elements like fucking time travel through touching stones and then act like the author had no choice but to…

Counterpoint: Martha is still alive.

I get the sense we got to keep that character far longer than originally intended because the actress did such a great job with the part. I was impressed with how they managed to keep her in the story (in an interesting way) for so long. And, yeah, that was heartbreaking.

I haven’t read the books and I thought the episode made all that clear. Frank took the job at Harvard, stepping on the tarmac in a new country with Frank was used to segue back to her arrival in France with Jamie. I thought it was nicely done. (But I’ve watched/read a ton more sci fi than romance so maybe that made it…

Academia has so many cult-like aspects that isolate PhD students from the normal world, I’d argue that devotion to something as silly as RH is an act of self-care.

I know when I first watched the Prostitution Whore incident I thought: some day this will be studied like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
