A quick BDSM scene, complete with whips and chains, foregrounds Pip’s time with Havisham, turning the feminist subtext of Dickens into text. ... Havisham and Estella treat him as their boy toy, with responsibilities including hide and seek, dance lessons, and forcing him to lose his virginity to a sex-positive member…

....really?

I mean that’s more or less how “Autopilot” works in airplanes. 

They’re telling me my zipcode will be six inches underwater by 2050. Watch out, folks, I live at 4500 feet MSL. Y’all are in for a time.

Sir, this is America.

All of which could anger the millions of halfway-out-the-door Oscar viewers who hoped that a Maverick or Avatar triumph for Best Picture would win them back.

I knew y’all were gonna forget 3:10 to Yuma

Grinding Nemo erasure.

Every once in a while I feel like maybe I’m missing something by skipping out on the new music scene, and just ignoring everyone there completely. I worry, sometimes, that I’ve lost the opportunity to experience all the beauty and artistry that the industry has to offer.

It’s not pro-slavery, only pro-slaver!

Tell me you didn’t watch The Woman King without telling me you didn’t watch The Woman King.

I bought a package of 8 flexible sheet-like cutting boards and they kinda changed my life a little. You can roll them up into little food-canoes and dump meat or veg into a hot pan. Done cutting meat, but now you need to chop some cucumbers for something else? Or you need more room to work? Just grab another sheet.…

What’s with her “fighting” stance? 

The price cuts will mean nothing to anyone who’s not in the market for a Model S or Model X, which is the vast majority of people

There should be a way to tell the (insert technology here) that I’m running on rooftop solar and all the energy in my home is clean as long as the sun is up (which is when energy demand peaks for AC). If it waits until off-peak hours to do charging, it’s actually making things worse.
