“Jason Statham will star in Heat, a remake of the 1987 Burt Reynolds film that...”

Second, Brian De Palms is directing? PROBABLY you mean De Palma, but I kind of prefer De Palms because De Palms didn’t make The...

APE IN A CAPE: Someone Asked... →
gailsimone:
…so here we go.
One of my big problems with Watchmen is how stupidly the near-rape is handled. And it’s EPIC stupid.
It’s full of every dumbass cliche there is, and unfortunately, this was common in work of the time.
We have:
Slut Shaming, check.
Woman falls in love with her rapist, check.

This is basically why I have a knee-jerk response to the issue of how great...

The Media’s Appendectomy Blinders
(This is what I see when I read anti-choice bullshit like this, by Ross Douthat, arguing that we should be wary of abortion because it’s “controversial.”)
IN the most recent Gallup poll on appendectomy, as many Americans described themselves as pro-appendix as called themselves pro-appendectomy. A combined 58 percent of Americans stated that appendectomy should either be “illegal...

andyhutchins:
Quick, go figure out what day Cube got killed in the “Natural Born Killaz” video!
This was an admirable attempt at researching that historic day, but state records clearly indicate that the message “Ice Cube’s A Pimp” stopped appearing on the Goodyear blimp in 1989, so the dates just don’t add up.
Smoooooooooth!!!!

My response when purity ball founder Randy Wilson tells me the events have nothing to do with virginity. (Thanks to the lovely commenters at Jezebel for this!) I hope one day I can have a gif where I look super sexy and nonchalant, but until then this will do. ;)
