Tarkin looked all right to me because Peter Cushing himself looks like VFX, I think. That man had an amazing face. There was no need for Leia to turn around - that was just the filmmakers getting overexcited about their special effects, which you'd think they'd have learned their lesson...

The cover is fine for what it is, but it doesn't hold a candle to the S&G versions. The lyrics ask for a more subdued arrangement with a touch of irony. Also, I think the song-long crescendo in the cover suffers in comparison to one of Simon and Garfunkle's other famous songs, Bridge Over...

Yes. Have you ever been to any of those countries? They got colonized by Spain. Plenty of people there are of white European descent or predominantly white European descent. Ergo, both white AND Hispanic. Because Hispanic is an ethnicity and white is a race.

"Hispanic" just means someone's ancestry is from Spanish (and sometimes Portuguese, depending on who you ask) territories. In case you've never been to Spain, news flash, it's full of white people. Many of them came to live in the colonies and had babies and stuff! Someone who is Hispanic can...

This is an example that proves the opposing point, if anything. Despite the content of Taming of the Shrew, and despite the era in which it was created, Shakespeare's body of work is not generally viewed as exclusionary toward women. Why? Because he wrote a variety of stories, with a wide...

I must have missed the part in Thor where Idris Elba was made-up and costumed to look like a white guy and then proceeded to act like an incredibly ridiculous stereotype of a white guy, as though it were a reverse minstrel show. If when they met up with the other Natives the Natives had been...

Thumpings and grandiose threats at apparently random intervals. I'm not really morally opposed to either corporal punishment or psychological warfare, but the way my folks did things, it was like one day you could steal a car without any consequences, but the next day you let the screen door...

If it doesn't mean anything, why are so many men and boys flipping shit over the idea of masculine words NOT being the grammatical default? So many comments here getting agitated about the idea, and saying things like a few posts above you, "Should I perhaps start to apologize for having a dick?"

The whole "but men and women are DIFFERENT, why do we need a genderless pronoun!" kneejerk moan is extremely silly and doesn't get any more clever the more times people bust it out. There are plenty of situations in which the gender of the individual being discussed is unknown, irrelevant, or...

Permabans are fine, and the eight-strike system is fine. It's dumb as hell that a post consisting of something like "I agree!" (which would be low content) gets moderated the same way and with the same severity as something truly vicious, though.

There have been several studies that suggest that ACCESSIBILITY of the clothing may be a factor in many cases of stranger rape, but the provocativeness of the clothing is not. So basically comfy sweats could potentially someone more of a target than painted-on clothes. IMO the insistence that...

In Alaska there is the Hairy Man and several regional variations thereof. He is a lot like bigfoot, except more interested in being horrible to people.

Oh, look, sexualized violence against women. How surprising from video game marketers.

lol, well, congratulations on your 5th grade level understanding of natural selection, evolution, and sexual reproduction, I guess.

Who cares? Your argument is that the reason many people respond with revulsion to gay PDA is that it's "unnatural" because it doesn't result in reproduction. I don't know about you, but most of my day is spent doing things that don't result in reproduction, and people seldom recoil from me in...
