    beks,

    :Legally Blonde? Cute movie with a horrible message.

    Thank God the thought police is out protecting us from ourselves. The movie is entertainment and entertainment has only one purpose: to entertain, you big dummy. I'm glad you're not running a censor bureau that you would probably support if it existed, but you have the cajones for the job.

    That would be to lie and I cannot do that.

    A Simple Twist of Fate, written, directed and acted by Steve Martin. A very cleverly written, uplifting drama, not a comedy.

    How old are you? See the movie. It will make sense. It's a glimpse into history.

    I think the messages in Legally Blonde were good ones. Here is this girl who has been raised to be a fluffy airhead, getting by on her looks. Who is forced to realize that she is very intelligent and very capable. The boyfriend is a letch. The new girlfriend figures it out and gains respect for the main character. The movie addresses sexual harassment, Victor Morgan's character. It also addresses developing self esteem and learning to be assertive: the beautician character. I thought I'd never see the movie because I thought it would be silly fluff. It came on TV one day. I rarely watch TV, but decided to just escape into some silly movie. I laughed a lot and I realized the movie actually had a deeper meaning. How devious of the film makers to slip some morals into a froo froo
    chick" movie.
