Gochujang is kind of like ketchup in the sense that the taste is so distinctive that anything you put it on will just end up tasting like a bowl of gochujang. That was certainly my experience living in Korea where gochujang gets slathered on pretty much everything.

My son was six when this came out and had seen some of the other movies at home, but got a little freaked out by some of the scarier scenes, so I didn’t take him to this one either. I saw it, drove home, told him and my wife to get dressed, and drove right back to the theater with them. I watched him instead of the…

I roast goose every year, specifically to render the fat, but also because I like goose. However I am the only one of my family that does.

Holy shit, if you can’t trust football coaches & Catholic priests these days who can you trust?

So you have just always been smug and unpleasant is what you’re saying, yeah?

It’s quite rare to see a comment section so united in disagreement with the article. Bravo, commentariat!

I was anticipating a headache the moment I saw this article featured front and center in the main page and the contents did not disappoint.

That was ridiculous. We’re getting too woke for our own good. Pretty soon the idea of anyone succeeding at anything will be offensive.

“Your protagonist is too special—she shouldn’t do anything that the average member of the audience can’t do” is the sort of thing the villain would have said if the hero of The Fountainhead had been a screenwriter instead of an architect.

The gender politics in Mulan are indeed far from perfect, but you’ve chosen to focus on some really strange things to make your argument.

This cat made Dlisted’s hot slut of the day.

As a Victorian era physician, I can attest that we do not give nearly enough attention to the various female disorders of the uterus. Why, my apothecarist can’t keep up with the number of bedeviled wives, mistresses, ladies and baronesses who come seeking laudanum or tincture of opiate to treat the sundry maladies of…

Thank you for this, Heather.

The absolutely sophomoric nihilism that suffuses this game’s narrative reminds me of the “Nothing Matters, the World is Shit” message that I saw carved into a paper towel dispenser on campus a couple of weeks ago. I am absolutely certain it was carved by a student—and I’m even more certain…

Heather when you refer to the “meme-tastic” nature of the reception to the ending I think that’s not just a problem with the ending but also the wider game.

I hate this ending to the point where I don’t want to play the game anymore. It isn’t even that I need a ‘good’ ending where everyone lives merrily ever after, but I do need an ending that is a logical result of the gameplay itself.

Edit: There’s a brief spoiler for Final Fantasy XV at the end of my comment; it’s related to this discussion, but I figured I’d warn people it was there.

I have to agree that had the bombs fallen about 2/3 of the way through the game, that would have been much more compelling—and made dealing with Joseph significantly…

The entire ending is hot garbage that fits the entire remit of the game’s attempt at narrative which is appearing to have something to say without saying anything at all. Throughout the entire game it constantly references political issues and names but then drops them before using them as anything but a cheap…

1: All games, hell all media is inherently political. The question just becomes how blatant it is and how much it reinforces or deviates from the status quo.

Wow.
