Scary, scary, scary...

Okay, first think of movies in general. Now think of movies with at least two women. Now think of movies with at least two women who have a conversation, and this conversation cannot be about the male love interest.

There are just about... none (and by none I mean so few I can't think of a single example at the moment).

It works for tv shows too.

This disturbs me.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that this was pointed out in an online comic whose link I can't find at the moment. It's not an "original" thought of my own or anything. It's just something that creeps me out.

Now I like "Jane Eyre", I really do...

...but the entire point is that "woman who is kind and meek and patient will be rewarded." Dear God, this girl is a freaking saint. She's unnatural. It's driving me nuts. @_@

Yet I'm still watching this made-for-tv version because it's pretty damn good and I adored the book when I read it. And it was written by the sister of the woman who wrote Wuthering Heights. And it is a wonderful story.

Jane is still driving me nuts, though. Oh how I prefer modern-day characterization.

EDIT: No, wait! She manages to have a crying fit and Rochester proposes in response!

And these people can't stage kiss. Like, at all. It's really entertaining.

EDIT 2: Okay, my initial complaint still stands, but hey, the guy gets screwed over in the end. Hoorah. @_@ Now I refuse to read into this because it's from the 1800's and I can excuse things, I really can. And the end made me grin, dammit!

Ah yes, and I am also back at Johns Hopkins, and I have class on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Monday, I've decided, will be writing day, and Tuesday will be writing and observing CBT training. Shame I can't do the fantasy writing workshop (mainly because of the CBT training), but since I'll do that anyway... *Shrugs*

Now to keep watching. And maybe watch some Doctor Who. And completely fail at getting to a normal sleeping schedule. XD
