Maybe I’m alone in that the video didn’t bug me when it came out since I recall the pop culture climate this video was released in. It was the height of Paris Hilton + Nicole Richie partying around town, Lindsay Lohan + Britney Spears having their own mixed partying combined with public mental breakdowns, Jessica…

As a girl who has always played in bands that fall in to a genre dominated by dudes, I feel you. No, I’m not here to fuck the band, I AM the band.

How did you get that out of her (his?) statement?

YOU’RE projecting. Also you’re a corporate tax attorney, so I don’t give a crap what you are blow-harding about. Piss off.

Everyone wanted Pink to sexy it up. look like Brittney. She refused. She was willing to risk it all on being Pink.

Hmm. This is an interesting post, in a good way. And it’s really making me think. I remember Pink’s song some, and as I’ve gotten older, I’m trying to become more attuned to my own internalized misogyny and tendency to slut shame. I’m not always right, at all, but I am becoming more aware of the way society pits…

I find it very hard to believe that eating disorders would have a higher mortality than depression. Do you have a source to substantiate?

It’s really unpopular to say right now but it is true. I have a friend who was very openly transactional with sex in college. This wasnt a case of the professor coming on to her, it was the other way around. She pursued him hard. And in exchange she not only Aced his class but he connected her to her first job.…

That narrative ONLY works if other women and girls aren’t “Their own God” in the exact same way. She actively shills for products that don’t tell women “like, totally LOL love you!”, but in turn tell them what can and should be “improved”. No person that sold their employer/ BFFs secrets to get famous is worth…

There is no misogyny in the ideals that P!nk put forth in her tweet. Saying that she has respect for woman who put there brains and bronze to get their $ is a better way of life than selling your ass.

The sheer success of the fake products they peddle online says otherwise. The sold out lip kits, “waist trainers” etc say otherwise, as does the popular aesthetic changing to a Kardashianized version in the US.

As long as you recognize that she is selling her naked image to the misogynists you condemn.

Part of it is also that she’s well...right?

What’s wrong with making fun of idiots like the Kardashians?

I hate to give Ben credit, but he is putting a dog in a car, and with some dogs you hold them any way you can to get them in there. Preferably feet and snout out.

I initially read “caffeine runs” as meaning “diarrhea from too much coffee”, and became a little concerned....

Plus a 3 hour movie - I don’t care what the hell you are watching - is too damn long. I miss the days of economical story telling where a director could get in and out of a movie in an hour and a half.

People who can’t sit through a 3 hour movie without a bathroom break are legion. We’re not doing it on purpose.

Excellent point. Had it been a shorter and more straightforward movie,it might have performed as you suggest. Given what it was, well, the results were what they were. Note that even so, an ambiguous ending left the way for third rendering, ach, sequel. Maybe he really is the one. Maybe both twins lived. I, for one,…

“Bladder-punishing” is correct. The last hour was pretty torturous for me.
