I loved Spiderman and the X-men for awhile, but let's face it-- a lot of female super heros are girly spin-offs of the guys and nowhere near as badass. I just stopped reading comic books after awhile. I WANTED to, but the industry didn't care, they didn't write for me. They wrote for my brothers.Anya D.

The hype turned me off at the time. I'm going to have to rectify this. I think that one was made by women (didn't Vardalos write and direct it?), in which case, it's probably not the usual stalking-is-a-compliment fare.<BR/>Lesbian indie rom coms like "Chutney Popcorn," "Better Than Chocolate," and "Puccini for Beginners" also don't make me want to hurl, but I doubt they're the sort of thing this Tyler douchebag has in mind.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of female superheroes, you know who else was awesome in the seventies?

Even then, I had a variety of interests.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I also share your frustration in not being able to find heroines that looked like me. They made me wonder if any of these artists knew what naked women looked like. (Answer: ALL DIFFERENT). <BR/><BR/>Some rom coms are fun. Most of them do suck, though. The only one I liked was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Nia Vardalos is my homegirl. :D<BR/><BR/>You know what's hilarious? Even guys are embarrassed by Josh Tyler. Only a couple of them actually profess agreement with his sentiments. All my guy friends did a collective facepalm when I told them about this debacle. ;)Chai Lattehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965224160566992696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321655975123275772.post-64769162053669457712009-01-10T21:35:00.000-08:002009-01-10T21:35:00.000-08:00I was a girl who spent all her years aged 2-5 leap...I was a girl who spent all her years aged 2-5 leaping off the coffee table with a towel safety-pinned around her neck. I worshipped Underdog. I was crushed by the Sesame Street announcer who used male pronouns to refer to Super Grover. I wanted superheroes. I wanted 'em bad. I just never found any that looked like me. In all the comics I ever saw, people who looked like me were passive obstacles and prizes. So I turned to Barbie, who did me few favors.<BR/>I watched Wonder Woman and The Bionic Woman religiously though.<BR/>And I could give a flying fuck on a rolling donut about Rom Coms. Rom Coms suck. All the mainstream ones are made by dudes. Stupid dudes who don't listen to women yet presume to know what women want. Like this asshole.snobographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874569135368534339noreply@blogger.com
