Sigh
Sometimes I despair of things ever changing. What should we make of this:
Two teen movies are out right now, one that appears to be for girls, with Julia Stiles falling in love with a nice boy who turns out to be a prince (awwww). The commercial for this one actually ends with her dancing with him wearing a hideous pink satin ballgown that looks like it came out of Barbie's closet. The other movie seems to be about a group of boys who meet and go out with young girls who are, in reality, pRon stars! Wait a second, isn't that Risky Business, starring a young Tom Cruise? Oh, no, the girl in that one was actually a prostitute. My mistake.
Well, it's nice to see that roles for girls these days are so empowering.
