“Otherwise though, let transgenders in the military...”

And $437 million for military bands: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/02/us/military-bands-budget.html

Dude. We spend $84M per year on erectile dysfunction medication for our military. Don’t even *pretend* that you’re worried about the economics of this - the costs would be at most one-tenth the Viagra budget.

The military has not historically covered gender-transition surgeries, though President Barack Obama did announce plans for it to begin doing so. That cost would be between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually for transition-related costs, according to a RAND analysis commissioned by the Department of Defense.…

“The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? ‘Cause she’s dead.”

What is it with Nazis & failing at art?

You ever notice how Ayn Rand is obsessed with trains? You hear about this? These folks know. She’s crazy about the trains. I say hey Ayn how about you find another way to RAIL against the government! Am I right folks? Is this thing on? Don’t check. I don’t need help. I’ll do it myself. It is on. I guess the…

I listen to this while taking a shit

Oh god that chase scene. It has everything that’s wrong with extended use of CGI. The cars were basically floating above the surface and it didn’t felt like two heavy vehicles barreling through the woods. Just think what driving an open top car at normal speeds does to ones hair. In Skull? Nothing.

It was around the jungle car chase where I said, well, not a single thing in this movie has felt dangerous. The silly to threatening balance was tilted a bit more toward silly in Temple of Doom, but not to the point where a goddamn teenager is successfully fencing between two cars while becoming king of the monkeys…

I remember when “Crystal Skull” came out, I said “Eh, it’s better than Temple of Doom.” I was lying to myself. I’ll still happily watch “Temple of Doom” if it’s on TV. “Crystal Skull” I only saw once in the theater and felt no desire to ever see it again.

I can only sum up that movie as “pointless.” It teases you with…

Also, I’m really glad that I have Kathryn Bigelow’s ex husband around to weigh in on the idea that a landmark achievement by a woman director is overblown.

For Your Consideration: Wonder Woman was Never Feminist, thoughts from a man who keeps marrying lookalike versions of each wife at younger and younger ages, and didn’t think Sarah Connor would bother to wear a bra.

Also For Your Consideration: Is being an AVC Legacy Account user moved to Kinja like Sarah Connor in…

Gettin’ real tired of old white men telling me that a female character has to be “troubled” to be strong...

Coming from the guy who designed blue cat people to be as fuckable as possible?

I suspect his choice was wise, for you could not have emerged from the other side of that path the same person you are today.

One of the things that drew me to this series is the split between Madden The Game, and Madden, The Officially Licensed NFL Football Simulator. I think “football as video game” has a ton of potential to be fun, but the market has been essentially killed by the fact that Madden is the only game that can legally do the…

Curiously, they are having this screening in Austin when all the clowns are actually in DC.
