Explain yourself with wit.

Fucking magnets.

It's probably not a big deal. They've gotta have one for airline and network TV anyway; easy enough to drop it onto the DVD.

Besides, didn't Avatar have precisely one "shit" and one "bitch?"

I think he drops a "bitch" after the not-rhino charged him during the first jungle trip. Something along the lines of, "That's right, bitch, run back to momma."

And now that I think of it, I think Trudy says "bitch" during the big fight scene, used in basically the same sense. Could be wrong, though. I'm too lazy to pull out the movie and check.

Point being, the language was *relatively* tame to begin with. Bitch.

As long as Shifty doesn't chime in, your question mark should have gone inside all the punctuation marks. As in:

In UK English, the terminal punctuation mark goes outside quotation marks — excuse me, "inverted commas" — and where we usually use double marks for direct quotation and single marks for indirect quotation, they use single for direct and double for indirect.

As for where the quotation marks go, it's generally considered bad practice to pluralize words-as-words in "proper" writing; you would probably prefer to rewrite the sentence to avoid that. You could say:

Or:

Or:

I just hope he doesn't do it with one person's voice on one channel and one voice on the other.  Very bad for hearing impaired folk w/headphones.

Okay, we get the hint, we'll stop doing that fifty episodes ago.

Question marks and exclamation points stay attached to the question or exclamation.

However, in linguistic writing, words-as-words are more usually put in italics rather than quotes.

Last, apostrophes never form plurals.*

* Anymore. That was common 20 to 30 years ago, along with indented paragraphs.

Actually, it's the other way around. And the placement of ending punctuation depends entirely on the sentence. So:

"You two characters are going to Top Gun."
- Placement of full stop/period is inside because the entire sentence is direct speech.

He then says to them "You two characters are going to Top Gun".
- Placement of full stop/period is outside because the direct speech part is only a clause of the sentence.

The same is true for brackets too. If the whole sentence is in brackets then the full stop goes inside the ), but if the bracketed clause is only a part of the sentence then the full stop goes outside the ).

Feature film director likes his own movie. Film at fucking eleven.

I'm pretty weary of the whole "Can't he see that because I didn't like it this is total crap!?" meme.

With the accent or with the acting in general? Because there wasn't a moment in the film where I cared if he lived or died. He was an absolute blank.

That shouldn't be any surprise. Cameron writes women much better than he writes men. Kyle Reese, Corporal Hicks, Abyss's Bud, T2's John, Titanic's Jack... these characters have nothing distinguishing about them. Try Mr. Plinkett's character test: describe them without saying what they wear or what their job is. We like them--if we like them--only because the actors have chops.

Worthington doesn't have chops.

But who is it a "thing" with? Do you mean reviewers? You say that for Cameron it's a gimmick, but look at the countless others who can only write for male leads. Would you call that a gimmick for them?

What I don't understand is how anyone can make The Town or National Treasure or Star Trek or Transformers or the Batman films or any of the Marvel movies and not have them full of strong women, but they do. In fact, in a lot of genre films, it would be trivial to write the female lead completely out of the story.

I hate Avatar, but at least it gave Zoe Saldana something more to do than run a switchboard and nuzzle Emo Spock.
