Or just plain ugly names, like Archibald Leach (= Cary Grant).

Beats me. I’m ungreyed on gizmodo, but actually banned (as in not even showing up in the greys) on Jezebel, and I haven’t been able to get an answer to why, let alone get it fixed.

The one part of the ending that really felt wrong to me was Tom Miller being so happy and upbeat in that scene with the Lattimer family. Three years ago his father killed one of his friends; now another friend committed a rape (I put most of the responsibility for that on Leo, but still...).

I wish I could upvote this a million times.

Call me crazy, but I think the reason that Game of Thrones is done with British accents is that most of the actors are English. Peter Dinklage is one of the few exceptions.

Me too.

I wish I could say it was the moon landing, but if I’m being honest, I don’t remember it at all.

Hey, if you want to detour into Hamilton trivia, the Schuyler women kept having babies well into their 40's. 

Being sedated would be more comfortable for the passengers as well.

I’m willing to bet he made up the quote.

The first incest fanfic I became aware of is Narnia (Pevencest). I have never quite recovered. But anyway, it occurs in every possible combination.

It’s not exclusively same sex pairings, at least not in the fandoms I follow. I think the emphasis on same-sex pairings often boils down to there being so many more opportunities for it in the material; there are generally many more male than female characters, and the male characters generally have more interesting…

Yeah, bad or no sex education plus easy access to porn is a dangerous combination.

In particular, movie scores clearly owe a great deal to opera, particularly in the use of leitmotifs.

Heeeere comes the general!

Jezebel seems to have banned me, but on the off chance this gets through:

Given that this new law is probably a response to the Daniele Hicks-Best case, in which an 11-year-old was raped twice, reported it, and was charged with false reporting, it does seem odd that the age limit is 12 years.

It probably also has to do with the fact that in complicated births, sometimes the choice really was between the mother’s life and the baby’s. Midwives really did sometimes have to dismember dead babies in order to get them out of the birth canal without killing the mother.
