A movie and some boobs

There’s a thing going around online called “boobquake”. Here’s the facebook event page
Honestly? It’s fucking lame. It’s not feminist or unfeminist, it’s just fucking lame. It’s no different than the trend that went around FB a while ago when women would put a colour in their status. It was supposed to be their bra colour and it was supposed to raise awareness for breast cancer.
Issues with that?
1. I think we’re all aware of cancer. I think they should have tried to raise awareness for cancer RESEARCH.
2. It wasn’t funny or cheeky or cute. It was retarded.
3. If you really want to be helpful for a cause, GO OUT AND FUCKING GET INVOLVED WITH SOMETHING.
Here’s a link to her blog about the “””””event”””””
Lame. People that buy into this shit? Lame.

MOVING ON.
Saw the Runaways movie last night. The band itself isn’t interesting enough to carry a movie, but Dakota Fanning was hella impressive. And I didn’t hate K Stew as much as I thought I was going to, despite her performance basically being “Kristen Stewart imitates Shane McCutcheon imitating Joan Jett”. The music was pretty decent and I love the directorial style.

Someone needs to make a riot grrrl movie now. Not some giant hollywood production, but a good, true movie about the movement with a bunch of unknowns to star.
