Lil Wayne was supposed to perform in Laredo TX last night - my cousins that live there were really excited to see him perform (Laredo doesn't get too many "famous" musicians) - only to find out he got stopped at the checkpoint with weed. He is performing tonight after all.
Word of advice: Don't carry weed if you're traveling amongst areas known for hardcore drug trafficking.
really zoe? really? angelina and halle got to where they are because they were sex pots first. so how exactly is that changing anything? could they have made it if they began as humanitarians and moms? furthermore, they still play sexpot humanitarians or whatever in their films. how exactly is that giving women in film a broader choice of roles?
@Island of Misfit Toys: Yeah, I love that she's giving props to others who came before, but you can't talk about trailblazing action women and NOT mention the MIGHTY SIGOURNEY WEAVER.
Although I take issue with Raiders. That's a faux-feminist, "I can do anything boyz can do, whoops, rescue me! rescue me!" thing. Hate those movies.
@lisas: and why the HUGE omission of Lauren Bacall, Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn (to mention a few)
you don't have to be shooting at aliens and swinging on vines in an ancient ruin while wielding a weapon to have been a STRONG WOMEN IN A ROLE OF POWER
I was thinking the following quote was said by Joan Rivers, not Joan Collins, and got very confused:
"Women who turn to cosmetic procedures look ghastly. They don't look like themselves. I quite like the way I look, I'm quite happy with the way I look and I really don't want to change it. In front of the camera it (my skin) probably isn't nearly as good as it used to be. But, I mean, what the hell, everybody's got to get older."
considering his prostitute incident, you'd think hg would not want to conjure up any "pretty woman" images. then again, he doesn't seem to give a fig, so good for him.
Kim, we are in a recession, honey. Few people can afford a closet full of expensive designer shoes. Most of the ones who could before were taken to the cleaners by Bernie Madoff. If Sex and the City isn't dated, then the Batman series from the sixties is totally current.
@Sputnik_Sweetheart: I think few people could, even when it was current. Sex & The City needs to get of its high horse and stop acting like they completely changed everything for independent single women, yeah sisters doin' it for themselves. Shut up already, you were not the feminist revolution you think you were.
Is Kim Cattrall on crack or stuck in 2001? I mean, it was "dated" before it went off the air. Don't get me wrong, I love myself some SatC, but they should have put the franchise out to pasture a long time ago. It started out great then morphed into something wrong.
Also, didn't Samantha and Miranda wear business suits?
@femme-bot: I know it's not cool to admit anymore, but I've always liked SatC just because it was so much fun. Once you start getting into its significance and what it means for all womenz, then you get onto shaky ground. I mean, the shoe-obsessed, self-absorbed Carrie who's always buying shit she can't afford (but we all know she'll marry a billionaire and she'll be OK)? And Miranda, a decent, hard-working character who became the show's punching bag? Yeah, I won't go on.
@heykoukla: Yeah, I also hate how it basically set the bar for every show, movie, and book geared towards women. It was a good show, yes, but that doesn't mean that every show/movie/book needs to be an (awfully watered down) version of it.
I love Miranda, and I would watch a show about her, hah. I cringe at most Charlotte scenes (talk about dated!).
@heykoukla: exactly. it was (and still is - I watched to apisodes last night..) fun to watch, but you have to stay away from it's over all messeges. cause than you get anoyed. and that no fun.
There is no one who annoys me more than the dining companion who kicks up a lot of dust by being SOO HUNGRY! and exclaiming HOW DELICIOUS! the food is, only to have moved that shit around the plate by the time the check arrives. It's so wasteful and an obvious distraction -- I'd rather you be honest and not order anything. I'd also rather have dinner with the person who acts, by comparison, like they're in an eating contest.
@ronniedobbs: I do that a lot, actually. But so many times I THINK I'm so hungry and then when the actual food arrives I'm not really up for it. I don't know why this happens; it's a mysterious process.

Sorry, I just wanted to quote one of her songs.
But bad move, Amy. Bad move.

If the four women combine to make up one complete, giant, ass-kicking robot, I am totally going to the next SatC movie.
