No, the subtext in Frozen is that Elsa is a lesbian.

If you're naming a kid Ruby Rose you have to figure that eventually there's going to be a cartoon character with the same name.

I would very much like to see a Paul Thomas Anderson make an action movie that stars Milla Jovavich and still direct it as if he was making The Master.

It's hard for an algorithm to tell the difference between someone who talks about Republicans a lot because they think Republicans are bad, and someone who talks about Republicans a lot because they think Republicans are good.

What I want to know is have Robin Thicke and Kirk Cameron ever met?

Gaussian functions provide a much more realistic (if still atypically perky) simulation of breasts.

That song annoys me with how wildly misinformed its linguistic prescriptivism is. I'd much rather see Emily Ratajkowski bouncing around than see people spread misconceptions about language, that's just inappropriate.

I think it's a perfectly adequate word. In fact, it's literally bursting with adequatulence.

I disagree vehemently with both of you. Being a nerd isn't about your interests, it's about your personality. Someone who has that vaguely defined mixture of social anxiety, obsessiveness, analyticalness is a nerd even if their interests are really ordinary, and even if they're really good looking.

Cosplaying is just dressing up as some character, LARPing is engaging in an organized live-action roleplaying game.

Or Ralph Macchio, whatever.

I like that the official English title of that series is just "Oreimo." I mean, it's what fans were calling it anyway since the literal translation is too wordy, but you have to figure publishers were also very carefully thinking about what would be the least creepy title to put on store shelves.

I think the fact that he makes terrible movies and that he's genuinely compassionate towards his friends are kind of related. He makes movies that let him screw around with his friends and pay them lots of money. What makes him a nice guy in person is the same thing that makes him a horrible hack at the box office.

I wonder what the opposite would be like: letting Peter Jackson make an original high fantasy.

Yes. Dr. Strangelove is so essentially about the cold war (or more to the point: about mutually assured destruction) that it really doesn't make sense to update it. If you updated it, it would be a completely different movie. It could be potentially a good movie, there's certainly elements that can be updated, but…

The Marvelous Land of Oz has so much gender stuff in it and L. Frank Baum didn't even realize it.

Aside from the contrast with the Hulk, you do kind of have to show She-Hulk in Jennifer Walters mode at some point, and using CG on She-Hulk seems like the most reasonable way to do that.

Honestly eating more meals isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you eat more reasonably portioned meals throughout the day it discourages you from snacking.

I'm not even entirely sure she fully understands what being transgender is all about. That whole "that would be a fetish" thing is kind of an outdated way of thinking about things. The standards of care for how to treat transgender people have changed quite a bit since the 1970s.

In the commentary tracks they explicitly say they wrote that line under the assumption that reality shows wouldn't last.
