Just another check the box movie, then Tom Send a noteboard - 04/01/2016 06:02:41 PM

Black guy? Check. Female lead? Check. Transsexual character? Oh, we'll have to do that in the next movie. And apologize profusely for not having it in this one.

If they didn't spend so much time checking boxes maybe they could have come up with an original plot.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
