lizziec: (npower - cute)
Last night I saw the most recent Wulffmorgenthaler and it amused me. As it was related to women's health somewhat and I found it amsuing I posted it to [livejournal.com profile] vaginapagina here late last night and went off to bed. I woke up this morning to a whole bunch of comments (how I read them) basically attacking me for posting something racist and being priviledged because I didn't notice any racial undertones. Now I feel awful. I didn't even notice that the female character was coloured in any way. Does this make me racist or something in some way?

Advice/thoughts? As I said, I feel really awful and I'm looking for some reassurance or something. I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing a huge sensitive part of my brain... :/

Thanks to those who expressed their opinion earlier :) I'm beginning to feel a bit better about it, not quite so mortified.

I've decided to go see St Trinian's at Ashford on Tuesday, the 13:50 showing. As it's a tuesday, tickets are £4.40 each. As I'm going, I'm happy to take any Canterbunnies who are free then and want to go to a value of 3 or 4 if you want to squish together ;) Just comment below. I'll probably be leaving at 13:15.

Tonight I'm off to see Sweeney Todd. Hurrah. I declare this Cinema Week!

Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd was excellent. When it comes out on DVD I shall have to get it again. Interestingly, the death that made me cringe the most and hide behind my hands for was the one I didn't see coming until right before it happened. I would say go see it - so long as you're not bothered by blood (fake or otherwise) or would be uncomfortable with the fact it was mostly sung. I really enjoyed it.

Had dinner in Frankie and Bennies after, which almost didn't happen as the cash machines building at the complex had been the scene of a bulldozer cashpoint robbery - the building it was in was virtually demolished on the side where the machines used to be and surrounded by police tape. A word of warning to anyone going to the cinema at Ashford anytime soon - take plenty of money, for you won't be able to withdraw any while you are there! (Wish I'd known that! :})

Finally, a quick reminder: I'm going to the Tuesday 1:50pm showing of St Trinians and I'm willing to take other people - let me know if you want to go :)
