    I recently saw a great short film by Spike Jonze where Maurice recalls the time when his sister abandoned him at the world's fair when he was a kid - he in turn got revenge by having cops take him home with lights and sirens blazing to scare his sister. #quotes

    NPR interviewed Spike Jonez this week-- it was really amazing to hear him talk about his relationship with Maurice Sendak.

    can there be a larger story on this, though, please? that documentary was AMAZING. my bf kind of laughed at me recording it, and then we watched it last night and it was absolutely mesmerizing. in 40 minutes, it managed to be completely engrossing, heartbreaking, and beautiful. yeah, he says things like this, but then a few minutes later there's a montage of him talking about how everyone he's cared about is dead and how he just feels like he's running out of time to do what he wants - it's truly a really amazing little documentary. i absolutely did not expect it to be so poignant, so affecting, so tragic. #quotes

    Is plastic surgery un-feminist? Is not getting plastic surgery a feminist act?

    I don't want anything done to myself now, and don't think I'd mind a few wrinkles in the future, but if, in my 70's, I wanted some work done & had the money to do it, I would.

    It isn't what you do. It's why you do it. And the reasons why anyone does anything are a personal thing. Brigitte Bardot not having plastic surgery does not make her a feminist, and Sophia Loren having plastic surgery does not mean she is not.

    This is an interesting article. I like Bardot for her bluntness, even if I rarely agree with anything she says. Her heart is in the right place when it comes to animal rights, yet her political incorrectness makes her difficult to embrace as a mainstream icon.

    However, she is only saying what many people quietly think about Islam. It's sad, it's racist, it's depressing... it's also a problem that affects all of us on a daily basis, and many of us are too "polite" to point out. If her comments can inspire conversation on issues people don't want to talk about, then power to her.

    @roxythekiller: However, she is only saying what many people quietly think about Islam.

    That point could be made about what people are saying about Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, and Gays. I'd like to think the overwhelming majority of society are not a morass of hateful fucks, though.

    @roxythekiller: Like I said, there will always be apologists for racists, but Ms. Bardot's comments are a wee bit more than merely 'politically incorrect'. And just because there are people who share her abhorrent views is no reason to give her a pass.

    i guess the only type of female empowerment that is really worth celebration is the sexual kind.

    im really glad we threw off centuries of oppression and submission so that we could have the freedom to give men boners! or better yet, so we could have to freedom to allow men to control our images so that they could give themselves boners.

    now if only feminist historians would stop focusing on those ugly old bitches like margaret sanger and focus on women like brigitte who REALLY worked for the cause. the gaurdian really knows where its at.
