As someone who saw it when it came out in theaters on post when I was in Germany, having a woman as the strong female lead wasn't even in consideration. It was just a fscking cool movie.

One of the strangest issues today is the so called "Strong Female Lead". Hollywood brays as if women were not even in films before, and this is some sort of great liberation over evil "white males". I wouldn't have even put that in there, but anyone thinking otherwise needs to research Brie Larson, the racist and sexist female lead in the new Captain Marvel movie.

If you actually have a strong female lead, you don't have to tell people she's a strong female lead. They can tell by watching the movie. Ripley kicked ass, and you cared about what happened to her. Sarah Conners in the first couple Terminators. Gal Gadot was good in WW, even if feminists were enraged that she shaved her armpits. https://www.maxim.com/entertai... Disclaimer - I do like Linda Carter WW better, but no problem if others differ.

It is high time that Hollywood stop acting like they are embracing racism and sexism. Just because the object of your hatred and vilification is white males, one does not eliminate racism and sexism by becoming a racist and a sexist. And a stronf female lead isn't whining, and inserting your political views into the movie.

The FBI even admitted that other less fortunate people would go to jail for what she did, even if the email thing is a distraction from the far bigger offenses of weapons smuggling to terrorists in Syria from Libya through Turkey, and there's still Whitewater, and the family's involvement in Iran/Contra. She is untouchable because her "prosecutors" would be taken down with with her, a classic *Mexican standoff*. And your denials and incessant trolling is a classic public exposition of projection that you will once again confirm in your response...

More information here. Yes yes, Maxim. Still a good article.

There are some documents that were released in the court proceedings, but I didn't really see anything new here. The details on the backup/man-in-the-middle arrangement were already well known. The info on Michael Connell was already out there, including that he did work for Karl Rove (like the web site Swift Boat Veterans for Truth) and he still got the contract to host voting results for Ohio.

Here's a good article about the whole thing. It also includes details on the plane crash and an interview with Michael Connell's wife who thinks her husband's death may not have been an accident.

That calendar had pictures of Women of Curling. This years calendar will have pictures of Amanda Bynes.

Misogyny exists, and should be fought against... but no need to try and find it where it doesn't exist.

Before you try and inject reason into this, perhaps you should consult these flowcharts.

Yeah, I know *everyone* here was thinking of Maxim.com...hehe

Also, MAXIM's cover girl this month is Jolene Blalock, who plays Vulcan Sub Commander T'Pol. Presumably this is the same T'Pol that in ST:TOS Amok Time oversees Spock's Pon Farr ceremony. Many of the Trek fan site are speculating on just how long it will be before her character experiences the Pon Farr with no Vulcan males around and only Capt. Archer present to address her needs.
