    Film This Chick Stuff! Part One: A Call for Aid

    First of all I LOVE Tamora Pierce, I think all girls going through their early teenage years should be required to read almost all of her books (minus the Circle ones - they weren't that great)! The series that I think is the best, and to me defined my childhood as a girl, is the Song of the...

    Have you noticed that in some of the best films of all time, women play small roles or are tomboys?

    I can't even begin to say how much some of the comments on this thread seriously disturb me. I know it shouldn't suprise me to see such uneducated comments on the internet, but really . . . this just goes above and beyond. There are so many amazing films with female charactors in strong...

    The Problem With Twilight

    First of all, you are totally right! The books are all terribly written! Really, Stephanie Meyers needs to find a new profession, because she isn't very good at the one she currently has! Second, thanks for the article recommendations! They were great! I am now really tempted to pass these along...

    The Problem With Twilight

    I agree with you! Bella does note grow as a charactor at all, which is just another sign of how bad and incompetant an author Stephanie Meyers is. But what scares me about this is: 1) That young girls today think these books are incredible. And while I'm happy that people are reading, it is...

    The Problem With Twilight

    I hate to disagree but you couldn't be more wrong. While you do make some good points about the whole self sacrifice thing on Bella's part, that isn't really what I meant about her being so reliant on the boys in the story. I have read plenty of books where the female leads sacrifice just as...

    Escape to the Movies: The Last Airbender

    I saw this movie yesterday, and I thought there was soooo much more wrong with it than just what he mentions. The script was TERRIBLE! and the acting was probably the worst I've seen in a movie recently! Yes, it was pretty and I thought the story was interesting, but its just hard to watch bad...

    The Problem With Twilight

    I'm so glad someone else sees the problems with this series that I do. Although I worry much more about teaching girls that their lives should revolve around a guy (or two), then brainwashing them into thinking they have to stay virgins. An entire generation of girls who can't think for...

    I am really impressed with that answer, it actually makes sense . . . and I thought I had a hard question

    It's time for Q & A!

    Yes, although I've found that a lot of things that friend tells me he actually made up, but was really good at bs . . . or maybe I'm just really gullible Next question: What came first, the chicken or the egg?

    Which game do you wish you could play, but can't?

    Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2 . . . unlike most other responses to this thread, I have a PS3 but no 360 . . . so sadly no L4D for me :( Also I know its out on PC, but my old one would self destruct if I even thought about installing something on it and my new computer is a Mac I'm...
