"Couldn't Ask for a Better Day..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I'm running MARC records at the library, and I just noticed that the summary for the film "Precious" includes the line "Precious Jones, an inner-city high school girl, is illiterate, overweight, and pregnant... again".

Can I just take a moment to be extremely offended that 'overweight' is apparently as much a problem as being illiterate or pregnant due to sexual abuse? Based on the cover, what they actually mean is 'obese', but I would argue that it is still not an issue on the magnitude of the other two.

Ffff people annoy me. Back to work.

EDIT: oh my GOD i HATE romantic comedies. BE more misogynistic, i DARE YOU. OR HOW ABOUT NOT. *fumes*

Also, romantic comedies are generally devil-spawn to be assiduously avoided. I hate them.

Ugh, tell me about it. Gerard Butler is on my bad list for-ever because of the Bounty Hunter. For-ever.

I knowwwww! Phantom of the Opera, yes, and in 300, that he and Tom Wisdom were gallivanting around shirtless was the sole redeeming quality of the movie, but after that.... Just. No.

Phantom of the Opera, unfortunately, did not charm me at all, and neither did 300, so he's done nothing to get on my good side at all. >_> Twitch, dude.
