I'm gonna get my rant on
babylonisburning:
You are either pro-choice or you are not. There is no in-between here. You either support the idea that a woman has the right to decide for herself whether she will carry a pregnancy to term or you don’t.
So, the next time I hear someone start a sentence with, “I’m pro-choice, but…” I am gonna flip my fucking shit. There is no “but”. If there is a situation where you do not...

Avatar is a bad film.
langer:
Not because it lacks any meaningful character development (which it does), not because its plot is laughably flimsy (which it is), and not because it is little more than a big-budget remake of FernGully, but because it is yet another example of b-grade Hollywood moralizing, of not very smart people with typically superficial good intentions offering Americans an insidiously shallow...
