Ok, I’m breaking my no Penny Arcade links for this. And I waited to talk about this so I could really think about what it says, and why we don’t have to accept it. First, about the “apology” strip: “That was a mistake and I apologize to this day for that strip. It was a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #265 – Yes, Gabe Apologized, But That’s Only a Start
Yes, I know he also named Gene Wolfe. Women still outnumber men on that list. Ok, so it looks like all my fandoms and subcultures are just trying to kill me through high blood pressure induced strokes. First, the fucking Dickwolves, now this. Really? A. I hate genre policing. It’s a bullshit empty past time.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #264 – Lady Writers Getting Their Cooties on SF
Ok, dudes, fucking seriously? Not Getting Over It. I have, in the past two days been told that I should just get over the Dickwolves thing, that there are more important things for me to worry my pretty little head over, and that nothing’s going to change so why bother? There have been “boycotts don’t… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #263 – Why I’m Not Just Getting Over It, Already. (aka more Dickwolves bullshit)
My apologies to the great Samuel L. Jackson. Seriously? Serious-fucking-ly? What’s the matter, Mike, you were fading into the irrelevance you so greatly deserve, so you had to open your fail hole and shove both feet in? God DAMN it, this is why we can’t have nice things! Look, here are a bunch of links… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #262 – I have had it with these mother fucking Dickwolves on this mother fucking plane!!!
I just realized why I don’t like the character of Maria Hill in the Avengers. She’s the action adventure movie equivalent of the killjoy wife/girlfriend in rom coms and buddy flicks. Gah. Just no.
YellowBrickRoad did something no horror movie has done in years, possibly decades: it woke me up with nightmares the night I watched it, to the point I could not go back to sleep. I wound up sitting in bed reading something “light” to be able to eventually go back to sleep an hour or… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #261 – Review: YellowBrickRoad
Well, taking into consideration the meltdown about harassment policies at SF/F and Skeptic/Atheist conventions, the Cosplay is not Consent movement and everything else that has a certain school of dudes in full on pearl-clutching panic, maybe we should talk about why these things are necessary and why most women think you’re a tool if you… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #260 – Sexual Harassment and Conventions
Wolverine returns after a four year absence from the big screen in a well-made effort that’s solid rather than spectacular. After the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, Logan aka Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is living alone in the Canadian wilderness and having nightmares about former teammate Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who died at his hands… Read More Review: The Wolverine
Yes, it’s been out forever, but I have a galloping allergy to films everyone tells me I “have to see.” Seriously. Usually, because the majority of the human race has shit taste in film, and I hate Pretty Woman with all of my heart and soul. Now, that said, I actually quite liked The Cabin… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #259 – Cabin in the Woods
