      Close.

      This is Joss Whedon we're talking about.

      Now it's perfect.

    Sorry, but politial correctness and the overwhelming concern for decency these days will force them to redesign her skimpy suit, and make it into a business power suit. It will still be red white and blue though.

  6. Wonder Woman's outfit... by Faust7 · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...is just terribly dated no matter how you look at it.

    Therefore, to compensate for that, the outfit needs to be a lot skimpier. Enough skin and we won't notice the datedness.

    I mean, have you ever heard of a male heroine? (remember, mail heroin is a different matter.)

    Hey editors, you owe me some money to license that patent.

  16. Re:Casting for the Dead in Movies by interstellar_donkey · · Score: 3, Funny

    So being *dead* now just counts as a disability?

    First of all, the proper term for refering to the recently departeted is not 'death', it's "pre-decompisitionary". And secondly, if there is a better catagory for disabled then pre-decopisitionary, I've never seen it.

    And I don't see any major challenges for exhuming the grave of Reeves so he can play super-man as a pre-decompisitionary differenlty abled character. We have some pretty good acting coaches to help out.
