Clearly it will be mostly Beck music videos and reruns of My Name is Earl. Maybe some Alvin and the Chipmunks in the afternoon for the kids.

I mean, Barbie was my first word as a child and my absolute favorite toy to play with—still consider my feminist cred to be largely intact. I’m probably going to buy myself the Katherine Johnson one!

I have mixed feelings about this. From observing my daughters playing with their dolls, it always seemed that the dolls’ anonymity led to creative re-designing interactions. I think that giving a doll a specific persona works against that—what are you going to do, dress Frida as a snowboarder? On the other hand, my…

For those that don’t understand the big deal about her unibrow: She made a huge point in purposefully emphasizing her facial hair because she despised western beauty standards. Erasing that is erasing a large and very important part of who Frida was, as a person.

It’s also kind of crappy they’re completely ignoring the…

It looks like Mattel had unique face molds and a variety of body molds for the Role Model dolls. Check out Ashley Graham’s.

This is Frida Kahlo as she saw herself. Note the lack of eyebrow shaving. Note the lack of upper lip waxing or bleaching. Note the look of “I don’t give a fuck about your beauty standards”. This “Barbie doll” version of her is an abomination.

Yes. It’s her defining feature, and she emphasized it in all of her self portraits.

No, there’s a dark, subdued tone to the book.. Camazotz is bleak. The first line of the book is literally about it being a dark and stormy night. The Mrs. Ws are all crones.

The film just seems to be a kind of misfire—I don’t get the sense that the film-makers understood why the book works. It’s been turned into…

I saw it last night (full disclosure: I never read the book as a kid), and I agree with pretty much everything you said. The pacing and the dialogue are the two biggest issues. Calvin’s character doesn’t have much to do at all with the exception of that one scene with his dad. My friends said his character was a lot…

I read the book a long time ago, but did anyone else picture the world of A Wrinkle In Time being, idk, darker? Less bright-color, live-action cartoony? I read it as a kid during the height of camp movies, so it’s not like I was being influenced by the movies that were out at the time or anything.

Roses are red

Man, I did not care for it at all. Loved loved loved the book when I was a kid, and the movie captured nothing of the tone or magic. Also the performances were all over the place. It’s like everyine was acting in a different movie

“Water served, is usually tap” rhymes better with “crap”

Yeah, it’s a shame. The film’s awful. I REALLY wanted it to like it and support it, but a bad movie’s a bad movie :(

It’s not BAD- it just... tries too hard?

Apparently the trailers didn’t lie. It’s just a bad cg fest with not much of a story.

How are people feeling about this movie?

She is right about lesbians being less visible, but I think this passage explains better why drag queens are more captivating: “Performing femininity is arguably seen as more exciting than masculinity, in large part because people can’t conceptualize masculinity as being a performance. When we think of what it means…

I personally do not under value lesbians in society, but I just don’t find their drag as interesting to look at. In the end, drag is a show - and if its something that isn’t visually or emotionally captivating to me I am going to zone out or not go.

I am ready to be shunned away into the depths of internet hell for this one but...
