I love cats like mad, and I think the money would be better given to an animal welfare charity, or something like that. Something that can use the money to help many cats, not just possibly extend the life of one.

Huh. I'll have to tell my parents that I finally figured out why I turned out gay. And then the list of things my mum holds against Mittens will read:

According to Poland, it's because Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden didn't win enough Oscars.

Levitan claims this isn't product placement, but they do have an "ongoing cooperation," with Apple.

Their smug wealthiness is a big part of why I've never liked this show. Not even in the first season.

She actually said that we think WE should have evolved past that, not bears. Jason missed that. So I think the point was that we think that we should be so top-of-the-food chain that we shouldn't have to worry about getting eaten by bears under any circumstances, and then resent bears when that turns out to be untrue.

I know, but considering it's meant to be *all* animated series and not just western stuff, and it was about being the "best," and not "our favourites," the list ended up feeling awfully US-centric to me. Like The Oscars every year.

Considering that anime was clearly eligible, and the sheer amount of anime series out there, there isn't much of it on this list.

I saw it when I was about 17. Just in time to stop me from murdering my mother.

I saw the Walking Dead pilot at a guy's house after a lunch date. Said guy did not sexually assault me immediately after, but he also clearly didn't care that I was visibly very uncomfortable the entire time, and called me a prude for, at one point, removing his hand from my leg. Ass.

My favourite lesbian movies are May, Heavenly Creatures, Bound, and Mulholland Drive, in that order.

You tell 'em, Ron Howard!

I have - I've even seen some from the last few seasons, because my mum was always watching them when I was over. But they didn't reach out and slap me wetly in the ears with their shittiness the way The Slap's did.

I was referring to the "Which side is right?" debate that all the promotional material, at least, was almost entirely focused on. The show seemed very impressed with itself because neither side was entirely right or innocent. I didn't find that concept nearly so profound.

I think the answer to the central question is not to pick a side, but declare that both parties are terrible. The kid's parents spoil him rotten and seem mostly to blame for his behaviour, the kid was threatening the other children with a bat, and Quinto's character is an abusive scumbag with a horribly violent…

I did not know they were remaking this for the US.

I know! I saw the word Bound, and for a second there I thought it was the one I love. And then I read the rest of the article title and realised that there must be another Bound.

Hey, that's a fantastic idea! If anyone ever publicly proposes to me and I don't want to marry them, I am totally stealing that.

This is one of those things my dad would always say was a terrible idea whenever it happened on telly.

Well, it's popular here in Australia too. First and foremost, everyone's a big fan of the costuming. I've seen about a dozen episodes, and for the life of me, I can't see much else of value. I can't even see where other people are coming from.
