god-damned cold.

1. Remember, only boys like superheroes and action movies. Girls just want dollies and Julia Roberts romantic comedies.

2. I don't know where it was anymore, but I was following links around Metafandom and came across a commenter claiming it's totally ok for Skiffy to not try courting female audiences, because women only watch Lifetime and E! and etc., and besides, women will watch anything and it's only men that advertisers like.... The disappointing thing was not a single person was disagreeing with the idiot.

3. DO YOU PEOPLE REALIZE THAT IN ONE WEEK AND ONE DAY I WILL HAVE NEW KARA AND SAM ON MY TV?

4. It is possible I want to be Maddy Magellan when I grow up.

Comments

The author goes on in the comments section to claim that Buffy was not a successful series, but a "niche show," and to dismiss every example the commenters had of women enjoying females with superpowers and performing superheroic deeds. Because they don't count.

Clearly, not only is Josh Tyler from the planet Stupid, he is actually the long-lost king of that world.

1) Why would anybody think that only men like superheroes?

2) Why would anybody think that men only like male superheroes?

1. Somebody's gonna get castrated tonight.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I suspect it's an overly-simplistic view.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Even if only from his buddies, who will be like, "dude, stfu, you're making the women go away."

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Seven years (two with an up in their production money) totally doesn't count as successful.

I bet he doesn't know what a crown is for.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Pity I still can't kill people with my brain. *sigh*

First off who wants to take bets on this asshat being single?
Second thanks I haven't had a complete idiot to rant at in ages

[mtgat]

I could offer him some suggestions on where to stick one. *note icon* Hawkgirl thinks he's an asshole.

By his logic, we do't actually need *any* superhero movies, since those are designed to appeal to a small audience, and it's the mainstream audience that really counts; all others are statistical anomalies anyway and should be ignored.

I love how the intro is "let me explain to these two women who like superheroes how normal women don't like superheroes."

ilu. *cracks up*

*looks at her response post*

OMG THAT THING IS HUGE.

APPARENTLY I NEEDED OVERWHELMING SEXISM AND BEING TOLD THAT I'M ABNORMAL TO GET OUT OF MY FUNK.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

3. I KNOW OMG.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

HAH. No bet, he has to be. Or he is now.

You're welcome. *g*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing, then.

I, for one, am glad I missed him calling me abnormal. Though it is sort of the salt on the evisceration.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Excellent point. I wonder that he couldn't figure it out for himself...

[hecatesknickers.livejournal.com]

I am currently preparing myself to come live in your brain when it's all over, because I know we're going to get screwed.

I need to make a post with a list of my BSG wants, so when it's all over I can look back and CRY SOME MORE.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we could share? hrm.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Awww. And palmetto's! Daybreakversetoasterlandia is totally more canon than canon.

CLEARLY.

You should. I would, but I'm a bit weirded out at ho much might end up canon.

[hecatesknickers.livejournal.com]

But but but. Since RDM clearly steals ideas from you, if you make a post about all the awesome things that SHOULD happen, maybe they will.

Like Kara/Sam well-lit no cutting to commercials sex.

WITH A FORK! WITH A FORK! WITH A FORK!










ALSO, PIZZA OVEN!














(there were so many capslock already here I just joined in. Random and completely off topic, but it's been that kinda day and I figure you're kinda used to me by now.)(Though, I will say, person in that link needs...well, we'll start with swift kick and possibly end with a fork.</small)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

The pizza oven is, you must admit, an upgrade (or is that a sidegrade?) from a copier.

[musicforcylons.livejournal.com]

They're warmer but less complex so I'm thinking it's somewhere in the middle.

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS, LYSSIE.
