So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It makes sense to me, Jesse.

So it's probably jumbled.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ryan -- evidently not a guy who can be left up to his own devices. He needs Blade 4, stat. Which reminds me, I need Blade 3.

If Blade 4 is going to be written by the same people who thought Blade 3 was a good idea, I'd prefer him to just opt for modelling in exercise magazines from now on.

It just occurred to me that Reynolds may be the sole prominent false positive my gaydar has given me. I've been surprised by plenty of people coming out (both in real life and celebrities), but he's the only instance I can recall of being shocked to learn that someone is straight.

ETA: Oops. Forgot that I was likewise surprised by a Swedish translator in Boston, who turned out to be my Best Sex Ever guy.

Admittedly I haven't seen Blade 3, but I want to see him move, and I want to hear him snark extemporaneously. I heard he got to do both in Blade 3. I need to check my Netflix queue, and I need to see if I feel up to hitting the mailbox.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's interesting and not jumbled at all Jesse.

I think it's a sensible perspective, Jesse.

Can I make a suggestion or would that be all @@?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, you guys (even Concusso-Girl), and I would love a suggestion. Especially one from someone who can actually do this kind of thing well.

Oh goody!

Okay. I think to illustrate your points, you could pick a film or book from each decade (or era) that illustrates the particular societal pressure at the time. If you can find two conflicting films/books from each decade (or era), all the better. I think when you look at popular film in given times, you can get a decent picture of the undercurrent societal pressures. You could do it with iconic heroines of each given time.

I just like illustrating those sorts of points which can become soapboxy with either humor, or something outside the expected box.

ETA: Unless that's totally outside the parameters of the paper. In which case, I shut up now.
