I've heard he was quite the poonhound at Yale.

I really hate that excuse, "Even shitty writing on Show X is better than anything else on TV." It came up all the time back in the late 90s when The Simpsons first started to slip. Bad writing is bad writing, and it's not like TV is some creative wasteland full of nothing but The Big Bang Theory. The fact of the…

"Learn to read" is a pretty cliche response, but goddamn it's like you didn't even glance at the article beyond the headline.

Thank you.

No, he did not provide a good post. He was making the "but men have it hard tooooooo" comment that inevitably appears within five minutes of any discussion of women/sexism/feminism. And anyway, his point was misguided because the "harassment" he received stemmed from our culture's perception of femininity as weak and…

"People should have to fight and struggle and burn bridges and risk their livelihoods to enjoy the same status that is my birthright as a white male. I have never had to do any of those things, of course, but I know how you feel because one time my boss called me Champ. Also, sexual harassment isn't really a problem…

The reason male nurses/childcare providers are mocked is because those are stereotypically "female" professions, and our society despises femininity outside of narrow sexual parameters - and women, being members of society, are frequently just as inculcated to this belief. It isn't "reverse sexism," it is literally…

She's from Pennsylvania.

Seriously. Not just the manufactured quotes, but I'm seriously tired of this deeply unhealthy woman who was very much forced to conform to society's expectations of beauty being touted as some sort of role model for young girls. STOP IT GUYS.

Ehhhh. A compelling actor can bring life even to a boring character.

Almost Famous counts for a lot. Being Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn's kid counts for even more.

I've never been able to buy Anne Hathaway as anything other than a 21st century rich girl, so I'm certainly a bad judge here, but I'm not loving this rendition of I Dreamed a Dream. I mean, I GET it, quiet and emotional and blah blah blah. But eh. She sounds like she has a cold.

"im just a gurl standin in front of a microwave waitin for my hot pocket to be done" summarizes my life way more than I would care to admit.

You're forgiven for not noticing. She is dismissed with literally a single line. Katniss says something like "No one could find out anything about Effie, so I guess she's dead. TIME TO TALK MORE ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS."

So you'd rather play semantics than address my actual point. Sweet, dude.

Who cares what good little liberals they are? Stupid is stupid. First of all, they simply had no good reason to be that close to the border. If you wander within walking distance of a country openly hostile to the US (especially when one member of your group is a Jew with ties to Israel, for fuck's sake), then you are…

It's not just Finnick. So many great characters (Joanna, Effie, Cinna) get unceremoniously dumped with a line or two in Mockingjay. These books weren't exactly high art to begin with, but I got the sense that Collins was REALLY out of her depth when it came to wrapping up the story. Holy crap.

Every youth-oriented brand that attempts to be "edgy" (which is most of them, but for example Urban Outfitters, Burger King, American Apparel, Axe, etc.) has a similar track record of borderline/outright offensive shit. Comes with the territory of trying to be shocking without actually upsetting people; missteps…

I guess don't use it if you don't like it? That's what I do when language takes a path that bugs me.

I think you're confusing romantic comedies with romantic subplots in non-romance movies.
