It’s still scheduled for wide release on October 7. They could make a last-minute change, but I think they have far too much invested in the marketing to change it now. Usually when movies get moved at the last minute, they haven’t really been on anyone’s radar - like Solace, which was supposed to come out Sept 2 and,…

You disagree that I – and many other posters – had the experience of attending school with people who didn’t truly understand what rape is, because no one had ever really explained it to them? You disagree that some otherwise-enlightened people in my school community thought there might be a little wiggle room to push…

And you continue to miss mine. Guess we're done here.

Um... Where did I ever say that I accepted the mindset I’m describing? Pretty sure I said just the opposite in my first post: It’s not right, but it was the prevailing attitude and I was one of many, many people who worked to get policies that challenge it.

Reject all you want. That was my experience, and that of many other posters. Maybe we didn’t overlap much, or we went to different colleges. If you went to one where everyone, including incoming frosh, was in 100% agreement on what does and doesn’t constitute consent, and that was backed up by school policies, then…

If that’s weird, then we’re both weird. Go weirds!

I agree that it’s bullshit. Anyone looking at this now should see that.

It sounds like Univision is planning to keep the other blogs up - they’ve all established themselves in their niches. They’re basically ready-made verticals for a company that wants to get more heavily involved in the content game.

And when the roommates stop speaking with each other around mid-January, those headboards will make excellent room dividers!

I honestly hate to sidetrack from an important discussion, but it’s 2:45 a.m., I can’t sleep and you just hit on one of my pet peeves. Feel free to skip.

Yep, that’s her. Apparently, putting her up for adoption was entirely her bio father’s decision – he never gave bio mom a choice.

I’m sure the answer to that varies by location, but at my mid-sized public university with a liberal reputation, a famed women’s studies department, a solid sexual assault prevention program and an array of resources... Yeah, kinda.

I bled for what seemed like forever when I got my first Mirena, but my doctor told me that would probably happen. One of the ways Mirena works is by thinning out the uterine lining, and I had a whole lot of lining to get rid of. And it’s gotta go somewhere...

Big meets usually show up on YouTube fairly quickly. Check the USA Gymnastics channel first - besides national meets, they also upload seemingly random stuff like the rhythmic gymnastics world championships. (No aspersions here - “seemingly random” because the US doesn’t pay much attention to rhythmic gymnastics.)

I think we’ll see an uptick, but the predominant girls’ name style right now is more vowel-heavy. Also, the stress on the second syllable of two-syllable names has fallen out of fashion - I only had time for a quick glance, but I’m not seeing any in the top 100.

This weekend a friend and I were talking about how cut these women are. They are visibly, unapologetically strong, and they are wiping the floor (and every other apparatus) with the gymnasts who have that formerly-favored willowy thing going.

My mother is retired now, but when she was teaching she frequently had students who were Jehovah’s Witnesses. They didn’t recite the pledge, but most of them would stand as a show of respect.

He’s always been like that, but he’s even worse now. Like, he loses it a little more whenever things don’t go according to his private script, and the newer announcers don't know how to handle it.

Welcome in advance! I’m a native Eastsider (Echo Park, represent!), now living on the west side of L.A., which is just as good as living in another state on the East Coast. Which illustrates a crucial point: Los Angeles is really, really big. Like, yuuuuge. That’s why everyone’s first question is whether you know…

I’ll tell you how: It’s a “family movie.” Kid-friendly wide releases have the potential to make huge bank, and frequently do. If they don’t turn a profit while they’re in theaters, the studio makes it back on VOD/DVD sales. In the age of $150 million-plus budgets for effects-heavy movies, $29 million looks like a…
