Boys Don’t Cry…

Due to the assumption that I truely agreed with the criticism of Spider-Man 3 from Crazy Right Winger Debbie Schlussel…I think I need to explain a couple things.
I fully intend to see Spider-Man 3.  I’ve enjoyed the series so far.  I am excited to see how Raimi and crew handle the third film. I could [...]

Often, on a Friday or Saturday night…

…working at my part time job(a video store), I rent a relax after work movie.  I have a hard time just going straight to bed, even at 1AM.  But I usually choose something that I do not care if I fall asleep during it.  Tonight’s choice was Man of the House.  I chose it [...]

We Start Falling Overboard…

I am sorry, but “disturbing content” should not be enough to make you a suspect.
Disturbing content was not the main problem with the Virginia Tech killer. It was a history of psychiatric issues and disturbing behaviour (such as stalking girls on campus).
Disturbing writing does not mean anything on it’s own. If it did, [...]

Guess I can’t see Spider-Man 3 afterall…

What kind of super-hero cries?  I mean, crying is for GIRLS!

It’s pretty sad that…

Some of the most Christian approaches to dealing with problems I see sometimes come from people who are not Christians. It’s especially sad when the problems and bad behaviour are coming FROM Christians.
It might be better to read the second link first.
Cheryl Lynn has an interesting suggestion in regards to Rosie stepping down. [...]

Sometimes People Scare Me…

So I was reading the Feministe blog and saw this story.
It’s pretty sad.  The comments are rather interesting.  There are sympathetic people.  Mouthy and judgmental pro-life and pro-choicers (one person chastized the blogger for not aborting sooner).  But the capper?
An anonymous poster.  Now, recall those creepy Purity Balls?  This actually makes those less creepy.  The [...]

Drunken, Out of Control and Political?

In this interview, Jessica Valenti asks:
This whole “Girls Gone Wild” conversation feeds into a bizarre Paris Hilton idea that a generation of young women dance on tables. And I don’t know them, I don’t meet them. How come we’re not talking about all the women out there doing political work, or regular work?
I suppose it’s [...]

Wow!

In the same week they discover Kryptonite, scientists discover a planet that revolves around a red sun!
AND Rosie quites the View!  What will Fox do without her to complain about?!

An All New Low…?

It’s scary stuff.  Comics have finally stooped to exploitation of sexuality to sell books.  A formerly kid friendly medium has now joined the ranks of porn to sell comics.  Have they no shame?  Do they not consider the other dangers of such imagery?
Why, DC?  You have such a strong track record of not exploiting your characters [...]

So, You Know How…

Yesterday I was going on and on about my love for Jin and Sun on Lost?  Then I see this today.  Really?  We get, as our most iconic image of Sun…bikini babe?  Don’t misunderstand me…I find the actress who plays Sun very attractive.  But is this the most representative aspect of the character?  Did Jin [...]
