Midweek Movie - Circumstance

So I follow this one blog written by someone with the pen name Dorothy Snarker. She mainly writes about lesbian topics because she's a lesbian. Sometimes her stuff is really interesting. The other day she posted a blog about lesbian movies and how there really aren't any good ones. She also posted 3 new movie trailers for lesbian movies and how they might have potential and the one she mentioned that seemed to have the most potential was playing at USC last night for the cinema students so I decided to drop in.

The movie is called Circumstance and the trailer looks amazing. I was very excited for this movie. It's a foreign independent film written by a NYU Masters student. Even better! It won some good awards at the Sundance Film Festival so I hoped that this movie would be awesome. Unfortunately, it wasn't. It made me really sad. I had such high expectations for it, but it flopped majorly.

First of all, the students in the theatre chose to laugh at the most ridiculous things that I felt weren't funny in the least. That kind of ruined some things for me. Second of all, this was hardly a lesbian story. The movie takes place in Iran where girls are supposed to be prim and proper. The 2 main girls, who are best friends are anything but what Iranians expect women to be. They go out and party and they smoke and do drugs and have sex, but obviously they're suppose to come home and cook and clean. These girls are rebellious. The reason why I don't feel this movie is a lesbian movie is because these girls seem to kiss and have sex with each other just to be rebellious. I never got the sense that they actually loved each other. Especially because one of the girls marries the others girls brother and claims she did it for her. It was just very silly. Plus, the brother was a major creeper and yet afterwards the director said she wanted everyone to have sympathy for him. I had none. He was a fucking nut. He set up video cameras around the house and watched his family do their every day things for fun. Creeper!

I'm going to email Dorothy Snarker today and tell her that even though the trailer looks amazing, the movie is a waste of time. Very sad. Needless to say, I don't recommend this movie. Here's the misleading trailer. Looks amazing right? Don't be fooled.

I Have a Lesbian Crush On You

I had a couple of topics to write about today, but this one sticks out the most in my mind. I was never sure whether or not I liked Dakota Fanning. She’s one of those people who is either a really good actor or a really bad actor. It was very hard for me to tell. Was she over acting or just that amazing? Well, after hearing this news I could care less what kind of actor she is. She sucks no matter what. She has released an apology to her fans for kissing Kristen Stewart in the movie The Runaways saying that she’s just playing a role and that’s something she would never do in real life. Are you effing kidding me with this? I freaking hate you Dakota Fanning. Why the hell would you apologize to your fans for kissing a girl when not too long ago you were in a movie where you got raped? Explain that one to me. Not only that, but way to be antigay from the start. I really really hate her right now. She doesn’t deserve anything she gets unless it’s a big lesbian smooch! I hope she loses her lesbian fans for making such a ridiculous apology. Lesbians everywhere should revolt. Next time you see her girls, give her a big wet one!

Kristen Stewart is a total lesbian in this video!!!

LLLLove

I was recently introduced to the show The L Word. I have only seen one episode mostly because I didn’t have the channel the show was on, but also because it never really appealed to me. A show about dramatic lesbians? What’s so interesting about that? The lesbian community was happy the show was on the air because it represented them, but it actually represents them in a bad light. These women are evil, horrible people. I have only watched the pilot thus far and it was horrible. There are 2 married women and they are trying to find a sperm donor so they can have a baby. They find this one guy, but his sperm isn’t viable so they try looking around and everyone turns them down. I mean that’s a huge freaking thing. I would probably turn them down too. So they find this guy who thinks they are both so sexy so they take him back to their place to have a threesome with him so he can get them pregnant. They were planning on having sex with him and not telling him if/when they had a kid. The only reason he found out their plan was because he went to put on a condom and they told him not to so he stormed out. Good for him! That is not ok. Not only is that a horrible thing to do to someone, but I would not be able to watch my wife have sex with some man to get pregnant. Where is their conscience here?!?! It just made me want to puke. Apparently the show gets worse and the characters get worse. So yay for having lesbian shows, but freaking eh. Way to show lesbians in the worst light ever. Stereotypes exist for a reason, but why shine a light on them?

There is also news that The L Word is going to be made into a reality TV show. So now we are getting the opportunity to watch real lesbians do horrible things to each other? Count me out.

I will keep watching the show because I am semi interested to know what happens to these characters. I want to know how much better my life is because I don’t do horrible shit to people. I guess that’s what makes people watch….?
