Hormonal today. I thought I'd offset it by watching a movie.

My first try was PS I Love You, which it turns out starts with a death, and features James Marsters trying to be a Serious Actor, and Hilary Swank trying to be Cute. Pass.

My second try was Watchmen. It was going swimmingly, until the rape scene. Pass.

After that I gave up and finally watched Under The Hood. I declined to buy the Watchmen dvd because the movie honestly didn't do anything for me), so this was my first time watching it. It was well done overall, and they did a good job with Hollis' sincerity, and Sally's too-mannered schmaltz. The best part is the vintage Seiko commercial. A++.

When I first saw Watchmen, I was struck by how obvious all of the soundtrack choices were. I stand by my distaste, but I have a new appreciation for the intensely 80s score. It sounds like they cribbed it off of those awful milquetoast-noir cop movies that were churned out by the dozen back then. And it's kind of awesome for that very reason. So bad it's bad, but deliciously, knowingly so. :D


Anyway, tell me something cool that's happened to you lately. Link to what's putting a smile on your face. I require lolcats, cupcakes and candy-coloured war-ponies (ie. cheering up).

Popples, Cabbage Patch Dolls, He-Man and She-Ra

Three characters, people, animals, vegetables or minerals are given, and you must choose one to marry, one to f*ck and one to kill. No fence sitting. No halfsies. Ya gotta choose.


Vote.

GUYS! I HAVE FOUND THE DUMBEST ARTICLE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!

HOLY SHIT I CAN'T STOP YELLING!

IT REALLY IS THAT BAD!

The National Post Editorial Board:

The radical feminism behind these courses has done untold damage to families, our court systems, labour laws, constitutional freedoms and even the ordinary relations between men and women.

Women's Studies courses have taught that all women--or nearlyall-- are victims and nearly all men are victimizers. Their professors have argued, with some success, that rights should be granted not to individuals alone, but to whole classes of people, too. This has led to employment equity -- hiring quotas based on one's gender or race rather than on an objective assessment of individual talents.

Executives, judges and university students must now sit through mandatory diversity training. Divorcing men find they lose their homes and access to their children, and must pay much of their income to their former spouses (then pay tax on the income they no longer have) largely because Women's Studies activists convinced politicians that family law was too forgiving of men. So now a man entering court against a woman finds the deck stacked against him, thanks mostly to the radical feminist jurisprudence that found it roots and nurture in Women's Studies.
