On Movie, You, Old
@Matt I'd be happy to go back to 1999 and stop Part 2 from happening. (Sorry, Ewan.)

@jolie I know what you mean, and I always strive to be more Melanie-like myself, but being competitive over brownies may not be quite the same as stealing husbands...

@royaljunk Because of him, obvs, as he wrote them. Lewis' relationships with the women in his life were...um...*interesting* so it's great that there are such awesome girl characters in CoN. I love Lucy (of course - the Melanie of Narnia to Susan's Scarlett?) but my favorite is an unresolved eeny-meeny between Jill and Aravis.

Ugh, I want to talk about what a beyotch Scarlett is, and TEAM MELANIE and all that (thanks, Jolie!) but I can't get past the 2nd paragraph. Do I have to explain about Susan again and how she's not dead and how it's not really about the nylons and lipstick?!?!?!? Nooooooooo...can't do it. Never mind.
Back to GWTW. I had a brief obsession with the book and the movie in high school (mostly because of Clark Gable), and even went so far as to buy a reproduction movie poster at a store in Georgetown. My friend, who was with me at the time, begged me to make sure it would never come out of the bag while we were in public, because she didn't want African-Americans to see it and automatically hate us. It was an eye-opening moment for me.

The third tag is genius, and should provide the FL tourist board with endless marketing slogans.

The first time we put my daughter, then aged 2, in the surf at Sand Beach on Long Island, she burst into tears. The water is COLD, people!

On Free To Be... Straight White Males
Really jazzed about reading "Ham Jokes And Overreaching Political Parallels About Football," even if it was written by an over-privileged straight white guy.
