Veronica Mars! Oh, Ronnie, how we miss you...
Also, Ugly Betty is full of strong, diverse female characters.
@girlscoutcookie: Yeah, Roz is a good one. I lurve her.
But really - the only thing I got from this move of Katherine Heigl's is that she's...unbelievably stuck-up?
A bit OT, I guess, but another thing kind of along the same topic here... I was watching the special features on my 3rd Rock From the Sun DVDs and John Lithgow kept going on about how Sally was a "big, strong man stuck in a beautiful woman's body". Even though the characters apparently were genderless before coming to Earth. Yeah, that irritated me to no end.
@Charlotte Corday: Yes, good, point. xD
Also, casting a 250-pound, middle-aged Princess Elisabethe in Don Carlos was kind of a bad move on the part of the COC this year...
Like with movies, TV, plays, etc. it makes sense for directors to have a say in what type of person is appropriate for a role, but Voigt seems to have been treated incredibly disrespectfully. And basically forcing some one to get a gastric bypass to save their job is pretty fuckin low, even for show business.
"Black children will die"?! What. The. Fuck. Did that strike any one else as not only apparently irrelevant but really inappropriate? And offensive?
The campaign itself is kind of "meh", but...I mean, come on.
Sorry for the double post, but it occurred to me that this is a two-page spread and part of the image was probably "lost" in the printing or scanning process? Would explain the disproportionately short arm.
It always baffles me how people can do this shit for a living and not even know how to use Photoshop properly. Come on, guys.
@redheadedstepchild: Right, 'cause that is totes the point.
Was any one else weirded out by the (male?) germ eating birth control pills with apparent relish?
AAAAH SNOW. Tell me this is for a movie? T_T
We still haven't really shaken off winter up here.
@PetiteGal: Well, within Canada, I can speak for U of T at least and say that there was a long struggle to fully integrate all the university's classes, buildings, and services.
Integration is a good thing!
Uh, news flash: sleeping without a bra doesn't make you sag. Even straightforward not wearing a bra ever doesn't make you sag. You're either saggy or not. I've been riddled with stretch-marks since I was twelve. My boobs are droopy and shapeless, always have been, and will only get worse. So yes, I am bitter.
I'm a 34 DDD (though I don't have it as bad as the girls in this video!), and I dream of Bs. Any time I hear a girl with As whine about not being able to fill out a top, I want to smack her about the head. Honestly. I mean, at least the bitch can buy a shirt - since most clothes seem to be made for emaciated transvestites.
What makes me the most bitter is I would have been smokin' 200 years ago! (And despite horrible crushing of organs, I bet corsets give you damn good support.) Grrr...
Aw cute... Though she looks like she's actually going to float away in the last one.
Angelina Jolie strikes me as a pretty sensible person, actually. Sure, she sounds kind of pretentious in most interviews, but...sensible.
Though she does not seem to actually have done any acting for a long time? Aside from, like, that movie about assassins or something that's coming out?
Steaming is for milk and dumplings, not my armpits.
@CorreLola: I know, eh? I had that same "uh, what?" reaction when I read that. So open-heart surgery = "soft" now? I know, I know the whole "quantitative vs qualitative" thing, I'm sorry, but - BISH PLEASE. Medicine involves all sorts of memorization and rule-following!
But then again, it involves *gasp* thinking and applying information as needed, not just following one formula 100% of the time. And that's not to hate on formula-loving folks, but I am tired of hearing about how fields involving personal input and analysis at the most fundamental level (design, history, psychology, etc.) are somehow not "hardcore". Most of the people I know who love to brag about their mad math and chemistry skills can't get through a page of James Joyce without asking what the hell is going on, and use "well, it's ART, it's not ACADEMIC" as an excuse.
I know many girls just don't care for the maths and sciences (I am one of them!), but I have trouble believing that gender roles have nothing to do with it - I've found that creativity and analysis is often encouraged more in girls, since we're supposed to be all "emotional" and whatnot. And since creativity extends way past drawing and poetry, maybe we're just trained to enjoy application and analysis (the "human factor", I guess?) more from an early age. And why should that be considered a negative thing? Or are we looking at a case of "feminine = bad"? As always?
Sorry for the long post, but it's something I think about often enough.
@fluffybudgie: Yeah, what the hell? Why is she being interviewed about how Bernier "made" her pretend to be his girlfriend for six months even though she wanted to break up?
I'm getting sick of this story.
Some one needs to grow a pair and just say, "No, you can't fuck kids." Who would complain? I mean, aside from the kid-fuckers.
Also, if these people were atheists, there's no way this shit would be allowed to continue. Or if it was, like, one 60 year guy who'd knocked up a fourteen year old. But, of course, if God said it was okay...
Fuck yes.
She actually used the word "yore".
The career options those aptitude tests offered us tended to be contradictory and baffling. I was told to either be the mayor or an interior designer, and my friends got things like "ship's captain", "postal administration worker" (?), and "welder or piano tuner".
Does any one else think it's kind of a disservice to tell kids their best bet in life is "fast food management"? Then again, our whole Career Studies course was designed to convince us to forego University and become construction workers. No hate on construction workers, but why would you tell kids it's "foolish and unrealistic" to pursue post-secondary studies? 'Course, we were all way too elitist and materialistic to fall for such "truths"...
@LaFemme: I thought every one wanted girls nowadays? They're so much cleaner and more attractive. And likelier to care for you in your old age.
Also, does any one else think the kid looks kinda depressed? Or maybe she's just trying her best to ignore the paps.
Sometimes I just don't know what is going through the Liberals' minds. There was all this talk for days about Couillard's boobs, and then it finally came out that she was - oh, wait - a former Hell's Angel (or as good as). OBVIOUSLY incidental information.
So, uh, yes - we have Hell's Angels up here. And I must say, this whole business is a step up from shaking their hands and welcoming them to the fucking city...Mel.
