Comment on Now that it’s winter, here’s 500 days of Summer. by LUKE

Summer’s character is a TOTAL player. And for all we know she was sleeping with other men, he just never caught her. Either way, her mannerism’s and complete act was that of a PLAYER and if Tom’s character did pretty much every possible thing wrong that you should do when dealing with a player. I.E. if Tom had simply dated other women while dating Summer, his ring would be on her finger right now…

Comment on Winning women writers? That’s novel… by sianushka

Someone at uni once told me that the reason there weren’t as many women writers in the ‘canon’ was because women weren’t as good at writing as men.

*rage*

And i don’t know if you’ve been watching Faulkes on Fiction? WHERE ARE THE WOMEN!

it was absurd. the episode on heroes was all male authors. the only woman hero was becky sharp. all the male heroes were heroic for deeds, survival, a rogue-ish good nature and then, the anti-hero of money. Becky Sharp is a hero for being a cunning, conniving minx? Where were Atwood’s characters? Where was Orlando, or Jane Eyre, or Dorothea Casaubon? Emma? I was fuming!

this is a little piece of blogging perfection ^_^ MEN are just about my favourite band in the world right now, and quite frankly I’d be surprised if they didn’t become everybody’s soon enough; an ideal Valentine’s suggestion ^^ xx

Comment on Misfits – Super Powers are a Turn On by Jonny

Jonny — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 23:34:58 +0000

I think the reviewer completely missed the point. The powers all reflect an aspect of their personality, eg regret in Curtis’ case. This is the case with all the powers given during the storm. For example there is a girl in season 2 who is frigid and thus can freeze things (although beyond her control). I am 15 and i understood this very clever and interesting twist, so i find it shocking that the reviewer completely missed it.
