Movies for 2009

P/f is whether the movie passes the Bechdel Test. There must be 1) Two female characters 2) who talk to each other, 3) about something besides a man.

Passing doesn't make a good movie or a feminist one. Failing doesn't mean a bad movie. I find this an interesting measure of roles for women.

20) The Abominable Dr. Phibes. Vincent Price as a deranged musician who is taking vengeance for his wife's death, by killing her doctors using the Plauges of Egypt. Stylish, camp and almost as gross as when I was 11. (f, 2)

21-22) The Colour of Magic. Wizzard Rincewind is up against everything from the DiscWorld's first tourist to Cohen the Barbarian, who is a lifetime in his own legend. This was funny and brilliantly cast. Sean Astin as Twoflower the tourist, Tim Curry as Trymon, an ambitious wizard of the sort who can use "personnel" and mean it, and Christopher Lee as the voice of Death, who is having a series of near-Rincewind experiences. (f, 2) 4 hour miniseries

23) Live Free or Die. Yet another Aaron Stanford art film. John "Rugged" Rudgate is a loser scammer trying to make the big time as a criminal. Entertaining but not deep. (f, 2)

Note from my life and reading

1) A good scale day. I lost 2.5 lbs bringing the total to 25. 110 more to go.

2) Nissan Armadas are not small cars. Neither are they semi trucks. PLEASE bear this in mind when trying to squeeze into a space the size of a moped and cutting off the rig behind you.

3) Telling a woman you would have loved to have raped her at 16 and gotten her pregnant is NOT sexy. It makes women edge away from you. Especially when you then wax on and on about keeping her pregnant, breeding her all the time, and enjoying her pregnant body... Clearly this man has NO idea of the reality after childbirth.

4) Busy day. 5 loads of laundry, clean&defrost the fridge, grocery shop, weight watchers.

5) Thought to the birthbaggers: "Guns? You're going to shoot guns at me now?" (If you don't get the quote go see The Frisco Kid with Gene Wilder & Harrison Ford)
