Watch Kate Beckinsale and Judy Greer Parody Republicans’ War on Women

By Judy Berman on

Sometimes the news about reproductive rights is so weird that you have to laugh about it (if only to prevent yourself from crying). Kate Beckinsale, Judy Greer, and Andrea Savage do just that in a new Funny or Die video that parodies Republicans’ obsession with women’s private parts. As a trio of GOP women, they explain that they don’t want government interfering in their classrooms or banks — but they do want it “way, way deep up there in my vagina.” We don’t want to ruin this by quoting too much (OK, just one more: ”Let the Oval Office take care of your Oval Office”), so just watch the hilarious video after the jump. … Read More

What If The Expendables Were Women?

By Paul Hiebert on

The Expendables opens today, and if you didn’t know already, it’s an action movie that features a leather bag brimming with bundled cash, a helpless woman with an accent, and lots of bad-ass dudes dressed in black running around killing other men lesser than themselves. Sylvester Stallone directs the cast of scowling veterans — whose average age must be around 50 — in a film that is sure to be about exactly what it looks like it’ll be about. We, however, wondered if this movie would be doing better with critics if the male action superstars were replaced by their female counterparts. Click past the jump to witness the possible genesis of The Expendables II. … Read More
