See also: Major League, Commando, Uncle Buck, Crocodile Dundee, Romancing the Stone, Bird On A Wire, Tango & Cash, Turner & Hooch, Dragnet, Lethal Weapon 1 & 2, Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places, and Young Guns. That's, like, every Sunday afternoon from age 12 to 17 for me, right there.

Also, for comparison, Wolf of Wall Street was directed by Martin Scorcese, and Girlboss was not. That may carry weight. Seriously, though, I don't disagree with your main point. I even affirmatively agree with it. Female protagonists who are poorly behaved or anti-heroes do not get cut the same amount of slack as…

Man, if that happened today, you'd be expelled, possibly sued, get a thousand thinkpieces written about you, be vilified by half the Internet, become a cause celebre of the other half, and finally be unable to get a job interview.

Given the opportunity, I would definitely smoke opium. And possibly never stop.

Those things are worth their weight in gold whenever there's an internet outage in my neighborhood. Granted, that's only once or twice a year.

Sometimes. The big difference is that the protagonist of Girlboss is a real-life bad guy. If Walter White was a real person and Breaking Bad was based on his autobiography, I doubt it would have been such a success. And if you're looking for shows with female anti-heroes, there's always Damages. And Homeland. And…

Finally caught up with "Hap and Leonard." When recommending it to my sisters, I described it as "The Big Lebowski" meets "Justified." Then I realized how much it's actually like "The Big Lebowski:" two barely employed friends, one of whom protested Vietnam and one of whom served there, get involved with a hot…

Finally, the Millennials have their very own Amazing Jonathan.

Or inside the birdcage underneath the butterscotch waterfaaaaaaaall.

Whatever's clever is totally whatever.

She has a name, you know. It's "Receptionist at High-End Cosmetic Surgery Clinic."

This link was in my inbox at work this morning, and I thought you might be interested.

Progressivism doesn't include the harsh, cruel, excessive punishments the people in this thread advocate. They'll rail against mass incarceration in one breath, and then demand draconian sentences for criminals whose political views are opposed to their own: like Welch, or the idiots who took over the wildlife refuge…

Hey, "progressives"- maybe spend less time mansplaining federal sentencing to an African-American woman and Supreme Court short-lister who happens to be one of the most liberal judges on the federal bench, and more time contemplating how progressivism is opposed to things like retributive prison sentences for…

The way Harry Shearer reads "but there's too much blood on the knob" will never not make me laugh.

I don't disagree; but I think there's a measurable slice of the GOP electorate out there that goes out to vote BECAUSE they want to vote against Pelosi. She's a much better boogeyman than, say, Tom Daschle ever was. Of course, the Democrats literally ran the GOP's biggest boogeyman for president, so I doubt anything…

Basically, I think that GOP turnout goes up when they drag Pelosi et al. into the election. And they do that more when an election is high-profile. So to win elections, the DCCC should either ignore them, or get leaders that people don't vote against out of contempt.

They also added Doctor Strange recently.

Hypothesis: Generic democrats are popular, the actual national party is not.

"What it means to be a hero." Let's ask Karen Page! "Webster's Dictionary defines. . . ."
Stop! "Webster's Dictionary defines?!?! That's the Jim Belushi of toasts: it accomplishes nothing, but everyone keeps using and no one knows why."
