I also hate the crap about how thin she is just as much as I would cringe over someone ragging on Melissa McCarthy's body. I don't think Jolie is about to be hospitalized for malnutrition any time soon.

Ah, sorry that I offended/irritated you and a couple of others. I certainly wouldn't comment negatively on weight (or plastic surgery results, or a host of other appearance-related things I might post my opinions about here) to someone directly. Like I said, I think she's gorgeous... which is more along the lines of what I would absolutely tell someone directly.

I thought she was being goofy on purpose with the pose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just found out that the director who's being used in all those raging Hitler videos is actually highly amused with the whole thing, but:

He adds, "If only I got royalties for it, then I'd be even happier."

Perfectly reasonable behaviour.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I stacked less than half a rick of firewood, but that's all I have in me. It is just brutal out there. It is the weather that I imagine the Little House on the Prairie folks slogging through. Only I don't have to for survival, so I'm not going to. I'm coming in and lying down on my flannel sheets and playing pocket frogs, and the wind can try to blow my house down without me. Sheesh.

I think she's another really tiny chick playing outside her weight class onscreen, but I'm not going to tell her to turn down the roles, and the world isn't going to accept her gaining much weight, so the only thing to do is have more Gina Caranos and larger women getting action roles.

Yeah, that. Which is funny, cause I know a bigger woman would never have been cast as Aeryn Sun, and Claudia Black is a tiny tiny thing, but then they put her on these platform boots to make her taller onscreen. Hmm.

Assuming she could act, how would Rhianna do as an action hero? Though come to think of it, that is not always a requirement.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

She was in the military in Barbados, I think.

Watch Battleship and find out. I'm certainly not going to. She sounds really awkward in the trailer.

I have to present in a 2 o'clock meeting and my sister just made me cry. Why would she do that? I mean, *I* know I'm a fabulous big sister. She doesn't have to send me an email telling me she's actually been paying more attention to the stuff I do for her than I have (apparently I've given her every single music player she's ever had, and all extemporaneously).

Luckily the consultant who's also presenting at 2 is being an idiot, so that's snapping me out of being self-indulgent.

Ah, sorry that I offended/irritated you and a couple of others.

I used to say mean things about slender women all the time until someone pointed out to me that it feels just as awful for thin women to be judged by their bodies. I'm not feeling butthurt on behalf of Jolie or anything. It just pings me in that place where I'm horrifically sensitive to body comments.

ION, the boy I loved from back home, or I sometimes think I should have married and had a family with because he's an awesome guy and goddamn he's still hot...is getting divorced. I remember feeling a horrible pinch in my heart when he got married. And now, because I'm not a nice person, I feel a little bit of, "yeah, he's single :-)"

Gah. It's an awful thing to see me ugly in the mirror.

Shit, I'm still crying. Luckily the consultant is on the spot, and he's stammering like a mofo, so he's taking extra time.
