Breaking Bad To’hajiilee S5 Ep13 by Amelia G on Blue Blood

Breaking Bad To'hajiilee S5 Ep13

According to the internets, a lot of people are deeply not rooting for Walt, at this point. Apparently, a lot of people are also totally shocked by the way Skyler and Marie are reacting to events over the second half of season 5, like how could these nice ladies be all on-board with murder and…( Read more )

Do not board plane with chainsaw or powerful bleach

Just checked in electronically for my flight. I’m so glad the airline shared this drawing of prohibited items with me. I would totally never have figured out not to bring my chainsaw otherwise. I think the label which reads “Powerful Bleach” is a nice touch too.

Breaking Bad Rabid Dog S5 Ep12 by Amelia G on Blue Blood

Breaking Bad Rabid Dog S5 Ep12

Tonight’s episode of Breaking Bad had some really great moments. I loved the parts where Jesse Pinkman is drinking black coffee out of the white DEA coffee mug and where Jesse is telling DEA Agent Hank Schrader and DEA Agent Steven Gomez that Mr. White is smarter then they are and luckier…( Read more )

Breaking Bad Confessions S5 Ep11 by Amelia G on Blue Blood

Breaking Bad Confessions S5 Ep11

I deeply appreciate the elegance of Walter White’s solutions to problems. The DVD confession of how his overbearing DEA brother-in-law forced him to use his chemistry knowledge to cook meth … and when he was in a vulnerable state from a cancer diagnosis … and even took his kids…( Read more )

This is what a feminist looks like

The most excellent Liz Henry, who has her finger on the pulse, just posted Kelly Martin Broderick’s My Picture Was Stolen And Turned Into A Fat-Shaming Anti-Feminist Meme On Facebook article from XOJane to Facebook. I believe XOJane was founded by Jane Pratt of Sassy and Jane magazine fame. Sassy was ground-breaking in its depictions of teen female sexuality, instantly making Seventeen look like a relic from a vanished time. Jane even wrote up Blue Blood’s BarelyEvil very positively, so I’m warmly disposed towards them. I’m probably even a little extra-disposed towards liking what Liz Henry writes because I thought she was hot when we had food or drinks or whatever at SXSW some years ago.

So I’m not saying that I oppose all beauty standards. Human beings base some of the way they socialize on visual cues. I think it is part of the path away from oppression for oppressed populations to assert alternative beauty standards.

As a publisher, I am well-aware that eventually somebody has to pay the bills. Juicy Couture wants to sell to women. Women, including feminist women, tend to buy a lot of beauty products. XO Jane has a largely female audience. I get why there are Juicy Couture adverts for Viva La Juicy or whatever on there. I do get it.

But, when I clicked over to My Picture Was Stolen And Turned Into A Fat-Shaming Anti-Feminist Meme On Facebook and was whacked with the Juicy Noir pop-up advertisement, it just really made me wince.

PS The notion that Facebook thinks it is fine to make derivative works from someone else’s image and get Facebook extra traffic with those derivative works . . . well, it is probably fortunate that I did not carry on the family tradition and go to law school or I’d be spending all my time and resources on pro bono work.

True Blood – Radioactive by Raygun Robyn on Blue Blood

True Blood - Radioactive

Well, it’s the finale. Finally. Another shit show of a season in the can. Congrats, fellow viewers for not stabbing yourselves in the eyeballs. I know it was especially hard this season, with so much not happening and the ridiculous things that did happen testing all my patience. I really…( Read more )

True Blood – Life Matters by Raygun Robyn on Blue Blood

True Blood - Life Matters

Breaking Bad came back for it’s final episodes last night, which makes watching the campy drivel of True Blood that much harder. True Blood is the soap opera for the spooky set, an ongoing, ridiculous saga, full of eye rollingly bad writing, plot lines that give me gas and characters more…( Read more )

Breaking Bad – Season 5 – Episode 09 – Tread Lightly by Amelia G on Blue Blood

Breaking Bad - Season 5 - Episode 09 - Tread Lightly

The first episode of the second half of the fifth season of Breaking Bad aired tonight. While I question the necessity of such complex math to describe a season of a show, maybe it comes with the high end chemist territory.
I have to admit I considered not watching this second half of the fifth…( Read more )

True Blood – Dead Meat by Raygun Robyn on Blue Blood

True Blood - Dead Meat

Eric is still butt hurt that Nora turned into slushie and takes it out on Billith. Their cat fight gets them no where and Eric runs off to leave Billith to save the vamps.

We get another cat fight with the Redneck Furries when that wolf bitch challenges Alcide as pack master. Of course Alcide…( Read more )

Banshee – Hot Sex, Action Hero, Gothic Prison Lord, Gender-bender Hacker, Amish Gangsters, Eastern B

Banshee - Hot Sex, Action Hero, Gothic Prison Lord, Gender-bender Hacker, Amish Gangsters, Eastern Bloc Mobsters

Banshee is out on DVD and Netflix this week and it is awesome. (Also still available on Max Go from Cinemax.) Well-written, well-acted, well-directed, nice cinematography and variation of color palette. This show has many of my favorite things, from gothic characters who can kick ass to bad boys…( Read more )

Has anyone ever said "I know you want it" in a good way? #thicke by Amelia G on Blue Blood

Has anyone ever said I know know you want it in a good way

So, my hat is off to Robin Thicke for successfully getting a large number of shots of attractive boobs on YouTube. Don’t get me wrong; I think these ubiquitous services like Google and Facebook are attacking freedom of speech with their capricious and unevenly enforced supposed rules. But…( Read more )

True Blood – In the Evening by Raygun Robyn on Blue Blood

True Blood - In the Evening

Let’s cut to the chase, Jessica gets boned in this episode, but leaves her bra on. Who does that?

Eric makes his daring escape with Nora and sends baby vamp Willa to warn Pam about the Hep V ploy. Eric asks Billith for help curing Nora but she doesn’t want it. Then she drinks some…( Read more )

True Blood – Don’t You Feel Me by Raygun Robyn on Blue Blood

True Blood - Don't You Feel Me

First, the important stuff. While Jessica takes her shirt off in this episode, she’s still wearing a bra. No boobs for you.
Explain to me again why Sookie can’t use her GODDAMN FAIRY POWERS against Lafayette but Barlow can? That. Was. Stupid. Sookie, you’re always wondering why…( Read more )
