The best thing to happen to the franchise is the discovery of Chris Hemworth’s comedic timing. I think it revitalizes the character and if he does continue making these movies, they should all be as over-the-top and raucous as this one appears to be.

I am ridiculously excited for this movie. I’m really happy to see that after making two Thor movies with a somewhat serious tone, the studio is going FUCK IT, WE’RE JUST GOING TO MAKE IT AN 80s METAL MOVIE.

And Hela. Is. Everything.

I think he was also speaking to the fact that the residents weren’t teaching him on the rotation. This happened to me as well when as a medical student (male) on the rotation. I spent most of my time just studying for the shelf exam which is unfortunate. When I did get to scrub into C-sections and other procedures I…

I assisted a bad ass female surgeon in a male specialty, and so many sexist bullshit comments came up. I’ll list a few: Did you see what she is wearing today? Her skirt is too short. I think she is flirting with Dr So and So. Her heels are too loud. She is dressed like she is going to a party. She’s too in a hurry.

we are regularly told to be nicer

I am an OBGYN, just finished residency. And no, the inhospitable legal environment is NOT a thin argument. It was one of the biggest reasons I decided to subspecialize and get out of obstetrics. Not to mention then grueling hours, the knowledge that you will likely spend at least 1 night a week in the hospital the…

I’ve seen two male OB/gyns. One solved my cramps. It took over 10 years and half a dozen doctors before this guy actually looked at where I was pointing when it said it hurt, and listened to me describe the pain. He got me on the right type of painkiller, and diagnosed me with IBS. Unfortunately, this guy just did gyn…

For one thing, the residency programs I talked with were ironically very against their residents taking maternity leave.

My father killed my mom and then himself 3 weeks ago and I’m 35. It’s shaken me in a catastrophic way and made me question everything. I have the luxury of affording therapy and massages to help me get through this. One thing it has made me really think about is how on earth do children handle this?

That’s what I was trying to get through to my best friend when she was in the throes of severe post-natal depression. She kept saying the kids would be better off without her rather than have to put up with her mood swings and her ups and downs... She wasn’t quite suicidal, it was more a case of wanting to drop…

Hey Donald, since Obamacare is THE LAW OF THE LAND, you can’t let it fail — you have a duty to uphold it. Do we need to haul your ass into court again and have a judge explain this to you?

FWIW, the Lepore book may not be the best source. There’s quite a bit of evidence that Holloway was also bisexual and more ok with the addition than Lepore portrays. Holloway and Byrne continued to live together and have a relationship after Marston’s death. Marston himself was an early feminist. (This isn’t to say…

Only because Congress still expresses a vague interest in keeping his most virulent impulses in check.

Im a gay man very guilty of highly enjoying a sexy woman kicking ass. I dont understand the appeal because im not sexually attracted to them. For me its the coolness of being dressed so impractically looking like you just stepped out from a sweaty club then laying the beat down on a bunch of guys (who are probably…

Of course, but I just want ONE MOVIE where the female lead beats up lots of dudes and isn’t in sex kitten mode throughout the entire film :(

Uma Thurman in Kill Bill spent plenty of time in a track suit and Lucy Liu wore kimonos. The other female assassins also wore clothing. So here is yet another ONE movie that you pretend does not exist.

Because 99,99% of all people wearing a tux are men ( a pretty conservative estimation), while approximately the same percentage of those people who wear mini skirts and heels self identify as women. It’s a fucking action movie, not a think piece about gender identity.

My mom is friends with a retired lady in Florida. She is a 101, still paints beautiful landscapes, grocery shops, lunches with friends, the whole old classy lady shebang. Here’s the thing: she was a badass operative in WW2 with the OSS (CIA precursor). To look at her then, she was just a blouse and skirt wearing…

Right! I’d like to see a heroine kicking ass with a highly restrictive sports bra, exercise leggings and tennis shoes. I just remember one seen, in a Michael Bay film surprisingly, where Megan Fox took off her high heels to run way from whatever cacophony was following her. I was like ‘FINALLY!’ I don’t think he…

She’s stellar in this, as you’d expect.
There’s a fight scene about 2/3 of the way through that’s worth every penny of the ticket price.

ETA
There is lots of good girl-kicking-ass movies out there.
Salt, Flukt, Colombiana, Nikita, Hanna and so on

Alien and Resident Evil too, obv.
