I love West Wing, always will. Re-watched the full series multiple times. But Sorkin’s Sorkin-ness gets noticeable every time. He made a great character made even better by Allison Janney, but then there’s Ainsley Hayes. The scene where she stood up for Sam’s right to sexually harass her is tough to watch.
I don’t get the snark regarding Amanda Seyfried’s eggs. If that’s how she feels, that’s how she feels. I think there’s this narrative surrounding modern women according to which all thoughts and conversations about biological clocks and “baby fever” must be suppressed, lest you turn your feminist card over. But some…
Can we talk about how out of the 5 people in that picture, 6 if we include Supes, Wonder Woman is literally the only one shoe showing any skin beyond her face and hands?
I would like to remind everyone that this is not censorship and that Playtonic as a private business has the right to express itself as they see fit. If they do not wish to include voice work by a controversial figure in their video game that is well within their right. Jon’s free speech was not violated in any way…
I don’t agree entirely with that article, but for me, it’s more like there that Colleen is treated as not being from one specific culture, but a mix—she’s expected to speak Mandarin by Danny when he hears her name, but prefers English and Japanese, she practices a Chinese martial art, but wields a Japanese weapon. And…
So now can we point out that not only Marvel decline to change the “mighty whitey” trope, but doubled down on with the other part of it: the white hero gets the hottest girl from the same culture he’s mining. The one sin Iron Fist actually didn’t commit! God fucking forbid Colleen just be what she was in the comics:…
The movie is apparently very clearly fine with spending a lot of time dealing with the Rangers’ teen struggles than it is them being Power Rangers though, so it’s not like a scene or two where Trini says something more than “I don’t like labels” would feel out of place.
Stop ungreying the choo-choo train people!
Did you ever fucking consider that because of heteronormative society its just fucking easier to date men? If there isn’t a gay bar that caters to women in your area, and there are like two women on tinder or okcupid, who you might have a beef with or already dated, then men become your only option. Colleges tend to…
I can’t lie, when I saw the headline I rolled my eyes a bit.... now I feel stupid bc it’s a really pretty video.
I really liked the video, Natalie looks very comfortable in it, as for the song it’s very soothing, it made me relax at work.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is the best aquarium. Fight me.
Fun fact for those who don’t know: this song was specifically written for this episode by Rachel Bloom, the co-creator, writer, and star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Where you can see her sing other songs that she wrote, like “The Math of Love Triangles”:
But some of what he says here isn’t. We ‘re quick to label people we don’t agree with.
Jon’s views aren’t based on real statistics, but from Breitbart bullshit. He argued that the most well off black person is still more violent and more likely to commit crimes than the worst off whites. Please don’t let him half-assedly backpedal from such a blatantly racist (and factually incorrect) statement.
Jumping in to stress, if there are those who wish to argue it, that this is not “criticism.” Criticism is measured and well considered. Criticism makes an argument. Criticism makes a case. Criticism comes from a position of good faith and respect.
The polar opposite extreme would be a group of women doxxing and threatening to rape video game developers for games they didn’t like, not a woman voicing her opinions on a youtube channel.
Not only is this despicable, it’s testament to how ignorant and stupid these cretins are. Bad animation can be the result of slow tools, unfriendly tech, limited staff resources, and countless other factors (including but not limited to the fact that getting human faces to feel “human” is really friggin’ hard). That’s…
