Seriously... John Stewart?? I expected better of you!

How can talking about women's orgasms, fluster two comedians: John Stewart and Jimmy Fallon? I am so disappointed. http://www.vulture.com/2012/06/jon-stewart-got-really-uncomfortable.html

Overheard....

"...I'm going to weigh this based on hand measurements..." Totally non-sexual but I gotta go there :)

Wee!!!!

"What if you need a wee though?" tweeted @Benjohncock, to which @isabelwriter replied "Haven't you seen The Secretary? Some things are more important than weeing."

B*&%$

Does anyone else struggle with the word B*&CH? I do. One of my favorite characters: Lafayette on True Blood throws it around like it's about to go out of style and I still love him, but I can't bring myself to let that word slip past my lips. Sadly, there aren't any alternatives that get the point across quite as well as that word. B*&ch is a very versatile word, it can be an insult or an affirmation of female power as in "Queen B*&ch." "She is such a *Diva!" or "What a *Shrew!" lack a certain forcefulness that if you replace the * with B&*ch it can propel it into another linguistic category. There can be an almost grudging sense of respect attached to that word. An episode of one of my favorite show centered around a group of four African-American females (now off the air): Girlfriends, devoted an entire episode to that word. The basic premise was that an outsider called one of them a *b*&ch and it made them re-examine their own usage of the word amongst themselves. I think, ultimately they decided to stop using it but it was an unsatisfactory sort of lesson. There wasn't a good alternative that they could find. Does the dual uses of the word b*&ch, both as an insult or suggestion of female power detract from it's usage in pop culture? It does for me...words have a lot of power and I think that this word is a destructive force that takes away from women more than it gives.

Hungover from Hangovers

I just read that they will be making a third Hangover film, this time maybe set in Tijuana, Mexico. So, I’ve decided to re-visit the first film again. I’ve seen it twice before. Once for the novelty and the second time for a special studies class. I haven’t seen the second one yet but will soon. So stay tuned for a review of both films...

Review: Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

Review: Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) Dir. Rupert Sanders Stars: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron PG_13 127 min Everyone knows the basic plot of Snow White so I won't get into it. I was not sure what to expect from a re-telling of a fairytale. They are either hit or miss. This was a fairly good film. I enjoyed the look of the film a lot as well as the little bits of humor. The humorous parts are mostly courtesy of the dwarves, including one of my favorite comedic actors: Nick Frost(Paul, Hot Fuzz, and Shaun of the Dead.) There are only two things that I disliked: 1. Charlize Theron's accent (What the F*&% is it supposed to be?) Her pronunciation of "girl" as "gullll" is majorly cringe worthy. 2. The anti-climactic ending Kristin Stewart's barely there smile left me thinking is that all there is...? It's worth a watch for sure, and they are already talking about a sequel.
