This is interesting to me. I was re-watching Return of the Jedi the other day and it occurred to me that I had never really thought about Leia's slavegirl outfit in a sexual way before I saw it as Ross's fantasy on Friends. It had never occurred to me that it had a sexual connotation to it. I don't remember even…

Nude selfies seem to be a pretty common thing in the dating scene here in LA. I think pretty much every woman and man I know has them. Every guy I go out with asks for them. I just refuse. My reasons are: 1) a naked photo can be stolen or distributed and 2) my focus is always on getting in the same vicinity as my…

The interesting thing about a lot of porn performers who claim "empowerment" from the work is that they'd probably also be categorized as somatic narcissists. I say this as someone who used to work in the industry. I know people want to think that all performers are happy, healthy individuals, but this is not the…

I think the important thing to remember here is that you're going to die. All that came before is just memory. You're going to die, splayed open, your nuts steaming in a suit sack, nine-toed, Joe in hand and drowning in humility. And it tastes quite like bullshit. All you had to do was keep your big mouth shut. But…

What? From what I've learned commodification of the female body is the new "sexual empowerment." So how could "writhing on the floor with your ass in the air on national tv" not be progress for women. She gets paid a lot ergo it is good for her and her spirit.

The producers, filmmakers and actors whom I've talked to are where I get my information. During long conversations issues of sexism and racism in the industry often come up. I normally bring them up because as a black woman it's something I'm very interested in. Their answer always goes to the market and they have…

I think people look at racism as an American problem when it's an international problem. Our movies and television shows are not created solely for consumption by an American audience. They are made to be shown internationally.I don't think it's solely white Americans who dislike black man/white woman pairings. These…

Scores? What kind of scores? Can someone explain?

There are so many possibilities. There are always millions of possibilities that's why I never understand why shows always wait so late to deal with simple issues. Why make simple, complicated? Makes no sense to me. It doesn't have to muddle storylines or distract from anything if you start it early enough. Shows so…

In my mind she's an American singer, hooks up with Branson (because he's the liberal), they can't be together and she goes back to America, has his baby, he finds out, goes to America to be with her and the child, it's too hard on her, so she tells him to take the kid back to Downton and raise it as a white kid he…

I'm sure the writers have their reasons, but I'm curious as to why the first black character they introduce is a man and not a woman. Every black woman I know watches this show and we daydream about what it would be like to be in on the fantasy, finally a black character, but it's a dude.

Woo, those comments.

Oh, please. Everyone knows that the janitor comes in at night, kicks back with a sandwich and shares it with the lab animals. I've seen it in all those movies.

Van Der Beek for the win.

I like his nose.

Beyoncé looks ridiculous.
