I've never gotten in the habit of saying coke, in spite of how long I've lived here. And it still throws me a bit when other people say it in reference to drinks that aren't actually, y'know, Coke. Heh.

I never watched Eli Stone either, but that little clip (and Johnny Lee Miller's adorable faaaaaaaaaaace) make me think I should have.

Oh, I totally agree with the writer of the Fempop article about Iron Man 2. That was a mess of a movie. Even the martial arts "Natalie Rushman" used had a far more femme-fatale air to them--although part of that might be the clothes and hair from IM2 playing into that perception. In The Avengers it was about the character, not about showing off her female body.

Whatever, GRRM, indeed.
