      Know how Superman always has to keep his glasses on public, because if he takes them off someone might recognize him? Amber can never have amazing sex, because then her post-coital hair would reveal her identity.

      Luckily she’s dating Danny.

          He’ll probably figure out that Ethan is gay the same way: look down at his lap, and, whoa, there’s Ethan!

      The thing is, Amber and Amazi-Girl look alike (being the same person and all), so if she wore her hair like Amazi-Girl, it would be a lot harder to claim not to be the same person to anyone who got any kind of look at her.

    If you have a secret identity that let you do stuff you normally can’t allow yourself you limit yourself and prevent you from actually crossing those borders yourself. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?

    So, I wonder what else Amaziegirl has denied Amber. I would have guessed relationship and/or sex – but for once Dannie has Dannied thingst just right and helped her cross that border.

          Without having read the slipshine I suppose the question I should ask is – was “without mask” ever an option?

          Or even more to the point – does Amber in fact have a relationship with Danny or is it just Amazigirl?

              But there are these persistent hints that Amber and Amaziegirl have different kinds of relationship with Danny, and I don’t think anyone told him.

              For example:

          Danny has already openly established himself to several people as Amazi-girl’s boyfriend, and as a result, he can’t be Amber’s boyfriend openly without raising suspicions. Sure, -they- both know that Amber and AG are the same person, but Danny’s boasting (if you want to call it that) means no public displays of affection for Amber.

    I’m with the “WTF is Amber on about” contingent. Amber’s hair is WAY better. Amber has a particularly round face, and as such a hairstyle which frames it suits her especially well, and her current hairstyle basically does that perfectly.

    The Amazi-Girl hair isn’t BAD, mind you, but the Amber hair does it better. I can certainly understand why Amber would be annoyed that she couldn’t use that hairstyle if she wanted to, but I can’t fathom why she would actually want to.

    Do you think the reason Danny likes Amazi-Girl’s hair better is because he associates it with Amber’s superheroine side, which feeds into his “dating a superheroine” fantasy?

    Also, is this a foreshadowing to a future hairstyle change for Amber? If so, I look forward to it. 😀

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
