fengi: Parapsychological Activity

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:04:11 -0800

From the page: "
It may be personal experience in my own relationships with abuse survivors - and how oafish I found Micah - but the movie seemed like an allegorical piece about an douchebag "nice guy" boyfriend who screws up once he discovers his girlfriend is a trauma survivor. He pushes too hard in controlling way until she has an emotional breakthrough - which she might have seeing but not that way - and she finds resolution in part by dumping his ass.

So What? Kim Dot Dammit Live. - KDD on Paranormal Activity

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:03:38 -0800

From the page: "Indeed there is a demon in this movie. We never see the actual demon, but we know where it comes from �" the female body, as represented by the buxom Katie. There is nothing paranormal about this movie�s basic plot structure. It�s fairly textbook, and we�ve seen it dozens of times before (think The Exorcist and Carrie)."

Equal Writes: Warning: does not remotely resemble a perfect feminist

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:17:28 -0700

From the page: "And I don't know how to stop it. All I can suggest is awareness. I'm not giving up the "Sex, Drugs & Rock n'Roll" playlist on my iPod, but I need to recognize that most of those songs are problematic. Most of my favorite films/TV shows don't pass the Bechdel Test, but I'm looking for ones that do. If I want to be a good feminist, I can't simply call out the missteps of others. I have to look to my own, as well."

If only they'd stop using "Holy ____, Batman" for article titles like this. Still, good to see education expanding.

LISA - Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 04:23:14 -0700

From the page: "
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, is a joint NASA�"ESA mission to observe astrophysical and cosmological sources of gravitational waves of low frequencies (0.03 mHz to 0.1 Hz, corresponding to oscillation periods of about 10 hours to 10 seconds). This frequency band contains the emission from massive black-hole binaries that form after galactic mergers; the song of compact stellar remnants as they slowly spiral to their final fate in the black holes at the centers of galaxies; the chorus of millions of compact binaries in our own Galaxy; and possibly the faint whispers of waves generated shortly after the Big Bang.

The Girls Who Lived. & Thinking Too Much

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 10:46:28 -0800

From the page: "Lack of sex translates in horror films into power for our heroine. She gets the privilege of knowing things, of caring about herself, of knowing her strengths and resources. She is not spending her time and effort on relationship maintenence. The horror heroine is smarter than those around her. She is frequently shown to be handy or physically competent. She is interested in people and understands the world around her.

In short, these girls got sk177z."
