Just checked out your site. Thanks for your comments. Wanted to introduce my site to you- it's Women & Hollywood and it covers news and commentary about women and Hollywood from a feminist perspective. I'd love to hear what you think of it.

What a great blog! It's so great to find another blogger interested in feminism and pop culture. I want to respond to so many of your posts, but the one I had the most reaction to is the Dr. Phil one, because I have slowly been realizing over the years how much he hates women. Ugh!

I have to disagree. The romance was typical Disney/hollywood/TV. WallE is the standard, rough around the edges, clutsy but good intentioned male. Eve is the stereotyped female who is smarter and more refined and at first has no interest in him, but he woos and woos and eventually wins her heart. Practically every sitcom has the genders just like that and most movies have the romance that way. If you really want to stretch your brain, try to imagine it the other way around.

Yeah...nothing surprises me with Pixar anymore...

I compared Wall-E to Johnny 5 from the Short Circuit movies of the '80s. Or an '80's boom box....

I absolutely loved WALL-E, for many of the gender-bending reasons you mentioned. The one thing i didn't like is how trigger happy they made Eve... i mean, really, every little wind blow would require her to stick her arm out and shoot the place up. Bad ass, yes, certainly, but i just wish she wasn't so trigger happy :)

Also, i agree that movies are way too expensive. That is why i always go for matinees, try it, it will save you $5 a ticket!
