    @Wookie1972: Sorry. I also read your comment in 21's voice and it made me laugh.

    The Adultswim site has them up for a while (maybe a week) after the episode airs. #halloween

    No problem. The reason I use the picture of 21 as my avatar is to remind myself (and everyone else) not to take all this fanboy stuff so freaking seriously. Of course, I can't say I always follow that myself. #halloween

    I don't celebrate Halloween but since people ask all the time "What's your costume gonna be?", me and my sisters started to make up costumes. Last year, we were Red Sox fans (Just wore our hats). This year, she's "Under-Emotional Girl" and I'm Alternate Universe G-Juggler".

    *P.S. I think I lost my star. Can anyone help find it?

    Great disaster as always, Garrison.

    Too true about twenty-first century feminism. Best "Ha ha, only serious" moment I've experienced in a while.

    Too many young women these days have mistaken ego for equality.

    This is by far your worst Disaster post yet, and it still made me lol repeatedly.

    Remind us why you are not a millionaire Hollywood type yet? Perhaps you are, and this is your non-corporate creative outlet...

    Kevin Smith, is that you?!?!?

    @Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: Well I remember seeing Jim Carrey in his first-ever performance on In Living Color and saying, "This man will be making millions, and soon", and he went from Fire Marshall Bob to Ace Ventura in no time.

    Now get to it! I like being right.

    If that's all you think feminism is (and I don't think you do. I believe you are telling what is known as "a joke"), then I would guess 1. Your understanding of modern feminism is culled solely from old Sex and the City reruns on TBS, The Suicide Girls, and women who refer to Cosmo as "The Bible" and 2. Somebody hasn't been getting any love from promiscuous feminists.

    I don't think you got Garrison's point. The point was the ridiculousness of selling Jennifer's Body as a "feminist" movie.

    @Wookie1972: No, I understood that. I'm just talking about the mislabeled "feminism" that Garrison describes as having begun around 1998 (which is the year Sex and the City premiered). I have no beef with Garrison; In fact, I'm pretty sure he and I are on the same page. Unfortunately, based on comments I've read on other posts, I think not everybody is in on the joke.
