(AGAINST THE GRAIN YEAH)

how beating up your workers kinda sucks but hey Logan Echolls something something now make out!

Haaaaaa.

Dude don't you love it when Our Hero is held captive and for some reason everybody else around him is totally IN THE TANK for their captor even though they are also slaves and are forced to fight in the arena and get no food or sleep? It takes a special kind of sensitive soul to be offended by being a slave, I guess. That's how you identify a hero.

This reminds me of the season 1 Angel episode "The Ring," which almost subverts this. (Nobody really cares about Angel's pain as self-appointed Spartacus until the inevitable - blah - resolution. Hah, def not a reVolution.)

Would you recommend The Green Hornet remake, then? I must say that other Seth Rogan movies have instilled in me the urge to kick him very very hard in the shins. But if the movie really is about how the Kato character is fabulous at everything, then I may make some time!

I dream of villains who are just allowed to HAVE GOOD POINTS instead of always going off the rapey and/or mustache-twirling end.

Me too. Though I won't lie, I more deeply resent heroes or "antiheroes" privileged by the text to the extent that the narrative doesn't even recognize being a bad boy (or girl, in some cases) does not mean we can ever just shrug off the romantic interest's major - in some cases, starring - role in sexual assault and/or facilitating sex without free and informed consent! Even if the narrative holds them more accountable - in some cases, accountable at all - for some things. (See aforementioned Logan Echolls, Faith from BtVS even if I love her, etc.) TANGENT ENDS. Agree with your point!

eleven, ilu but don't think i wouldn't put you in the pandorica myself, i mean really

HEE SAME HERE.

Get close and I'm just thinking "no, closer."

GOOD MESSAGE, for reals.
