I know it wasn’t a movie, but The Red Shoe Diaries were essentially erotic thrillers in miniature.

In various ways, erotic thrillers depended on a “peek” at things that felt forbidden, naughty, and not easily attainable by middle-class white moviegoers. The internet has destroyed all that. Porn of all sorts is so ubiquitous that there’s no longer any way to create the tension these films depended on. All you’d get…

I didn’t buy Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut. I read somewhere that he needed to be coached on how a hetero love scene should play. Now, if it had involved man-on-man wrestling, I’d buy that.

They could very easily start by re-making all the now-classics, but with LGBTQ leads. Body Heat was made like 37 years after Double Indemnity, and this year marks 40 years since Body Heat, so it’s not like it’d be too soon or something.

Gone Girl had tinges of being an erotic thriller, but the protagonist was supremely non erotic.

Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905) established the precedent for vaccine requirements, and it was reaffirmed in Zucht v. King, 260 U.S. 174 (1922), upholding the San Antonio, TX school district’s prohibition on school attendance by unvaccinated children. With two SCOTUS decisions supporting Indiana…

Not usually claustrophobic but MRIs kinda freak me out. The problem is I’m a larger lump of flesh and I really do just barely fit in the tube. Pretty disconcerting.

I regularly use pot for medicinal purposes, as with C-PTSD, Generalized and social anxiety disorder pretty much make me non-functional in my day to day life. I tend to stick with edibles and tinctures as I can’t handle the coughing that comes with vaping or smoking, and, holy crap. In my experience edibles tend to be…

Yep. I was too lazy to look up the case cite, but this has been settled law for over a fucking century.

Disgusted tisk noise

“fully vaccinated or have an approved [religious, ethical, or medical] exemption before returning to campus.”

This is all so dumb. No one is forcing these young adults to do anything, they could just not go to Indiana University.

I was wondering about that. I am an old, but I distinctly remember needing to get some vaccinations before I went to college. Granted, I think they were boosters for things I’d already gotten, or maybe a new vax that didn’t exist when I initially got them as a wee one, but I don’t remember it being negotiable, either.

Probably because the ability for the state to mandate vaccination has been settled for 116 years at this point. (Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11). 

Here’s what “power imbalance” means.

I don’t care how often celebrities bathe since I’m never likely to be in their sniff radii, but I’m crushed that Christina Applegate, who is very funny and who by all accounts seems like a lovely, charitable and all-around quality human, has yet more medical shit to deal with.

Regarding the “eco-conscious” part, I’d like to see some cross-referenced photos of the unwashed celebrities’ mansions, since they tend to have impeccably manicured grounds. If you use 7 metric tons of water on your grass every day, I’m going to side-eye you about the 17 gallons (American average) you saved by…

Just as they decide to volunteer that information unprompted, people are free to willingly mock them for it, specially POC who have been called dirty before just because of their skin tone, it's like when DJ Khaled said he doesn't go down on his wife but expects blowjobs, well, you open yourself to mokery.

So Christina Applegate is diagnosed with MS but whether celebrities bathe or not is the lead in this article?  Stay classy Jez.

I would’ve never have guessed Tarantino had mommy issues...said no one, ever.
