Owning a house at some point versus owning a house right as you get your first job is pretty different. I like how you think those are the only three places with a high cost of living too.

Buying a house right as you graduate college?

Yeah it really lost me at the we just graduated college and bought a house bit.

Certainly better than Modern Family which just gets put in every year no matter what. Also the trend of bigger name actors doing TV for the first time getting an automatic nomination continued with Geoffrey Rush for Genius (which was bad and no one watched) and Robert de Niro who, as he tends to do for some time now,…

A lot of of my LGBT friends told their group of friends first before their parents even when we all knew there would be no chance of a negative reaction. The fear is still hard to break that you might somehow be disappointing them in some way.

Attitudes of young people in large swaths of this country are vastly different but not everywhere. There are still plenty of backward brainwashed religious zealots around. And even if their classmates might accept it don’t think that LGBTQ kids or even ones just suspected of being so don’t face harassment from what…

That is just such a perfect description. Everything is just a little off...where the hairline starts. The fact his eyebrows can’t seem to decide if they want to be thick or thin.

I read it more as he was shocked he did the things he did, potentially blew up a relationship and for the first time cared about it.

Maybe watch the show then. There isn’t anything glamorized about the characters. Even the more powerful criminal characters are sleazy redneck Dixie Mafia rather than sleek foreign drug kingpins. This show is grimy as hell.

That’s just...not science at all. It is as baseless as someone racist trying to claim there is something genetically inferior to non-white groups. If anything, the idea of innate spirituality and blackness is rooted in that when European scientists/ethnologists would condescendingly claim that non-whites were more…

My Mom watches the show and whenever I’ve seen it it seems like they give way more story arcs to the side characters than shows like this usually do, NCIS for instance. It was also nice to see Asian men treated like romantic interests which is an unfortunate rarity.

I don’t think Manny’s born again Christianity has anything to do with not wanting to hurt his opponent. He’s pretty fine supporting violence against the LGBT community because of that religion and also supports Duterte.

That ultimate goal in point number 2 is so very far away still though that any representation, even as unfortunately small as this, is noteworthy. Especially, as the article points out, when its from a company that doesn’t have the best track record with it.

At least you are reserving your ire for your cousin who is actually doing this type of behavior. Berry and a lot of others are painting the whole movement with that brush.

I feel like once both people involved are past the age of 30, especially mid 30's, age gap just doesn’t really matter anymore. You are both fully formed adults at this point with a romantic and sexual life already lived.

Well, the star of the show facing rape charges before and statements from him, like this one, when asked about Nate Parker’s past affecting Birth of a Nation: “I have no idea, but you know what, I think he’s a great guy, and an excellent filmmaker and a great actor. That’s what we should focus on,” probably played a…

The Jesus Movement varied on how it viewed dealing with Rome and the Gospels reflect that. Its not till John, which is the last of them compiled, that you start to see a lot of the animosity shift to Jews rather than the Romans. The Movement was directly flying in the face of Roman values though. Urging people to…

Its hippy in a certain sense but the Gospels were a very radical text and a lot of the words of Christ that look to us as peaceful were meant to defy Roman authority. Even something like “turning the other cheek” is an act of defiance not forgiveness.

Sort of the issue with most musical biopics. Dewey Cox is a pretty spot on spoof of them. We know what happens already. You go from A to B with some conflict (usually drugs and family) inbetween. Oh and a bunch of musical performance scenes thrown into a compressed time frame so the makers can go, “hey! Remember this…

He just had so much charisma. Even if the story was handled better finding someone to match everyone’s clear memories of Pac was always going to be near impossible. Walk the Line had a similar potential problem in finding a Johnny Cash and while there are plenty of issues with that one (namely the same sort of…
