Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red—and its accompanying translation sections—is the most touching from-the-antagonist's-point-of-view text I've ever encountered, and is really effing smart to boot. Easily my favorite book.

And it looks like Noe's Irreversible was too. How odd.

Censorship and obscenities laws are bad, and we could certainly all put our matching moral indignation caps on or whatever. My course of study is on sexuality, so I certainly know a thing or two about the damage these sorts of things have done historically. It's certainly tedious that they objected to this on grounds…

Shouldn't it be called "Twink Wolf?" I really don't understand why all the major film and TV werewolves of the current zeitgeist have been shaved and tweaked. It makes (limited) sense for vampires, but werewolves?

On the upside, they get to have a lot of very cozy "Let's play baseball in between catastrophes!" annuals.

"Being gay myself, I'm hardly likley to disaprove of anyone being themselves."

Gee, you expressed an opinion (not an argument since this implies some sort of logic or evidence, and all you did was make a speculative generalization you can't possibly back up) that was bigoted and insulting, and people got upset and felt insulted. Who would have guessed?

Biological determinisms tend to mean an argument is uncritically considered.

Or what about if he hooked up with his own Flesh Ganger? Barrowman isn't my type, but a set of doubled Barrowmen might be!

@Mekki: Eeeyugh, now there's a mind bleach-worthy image... But at least they'd be the same height, I guess...

Obligatory "No, this is not meant to be a revision of Warren Worthington III, this is Angel Salvadore, an entirely different character created during Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men, and yes the redundancy is sort of silly and has to be confusing to casual fans, but what can you do?" post.

This does help me to realize that, as the condition of possibility for River Song's awesomeness, the Daleks must be arright on some level.

Eh, I've gotta disagree about the Daleks. I realize that not taking itself too seriously is part of Doctor Who's charm, but every time the Daleks show up, the show becomes the most boring kind of camp while everyone (especially The Doctor) tries to sell their arrival as absolutely terrifying despite their sheer…

Beast's looking a little bit puffy in that top photo. Did they change the make-up/CGI, or have I just been looking at him the wrong way in the trailers?

"Wonder Woman's gone the way of the Generation X and Justice League TV pilots..."

That Psylocke design is really lovely. I'd much prefer to see that than the continual returns to/variations on the Jim Lee ridiculousness.

Ohhh. Sorry about that—I wrote quals this week and so my sense of humor (and reading comprehension, apparently) is a bit shot.

I'm not quite getting the irony here. A number of continentals directly engage questions about "the literary," or different ways of understanding linguistics, and so it makes sense that their concerns would best suit English departments, doesn't it?

Brilliant! Thank you for posting this!

This one?
