And I have links for you. So there!
Dear Pixar, please make a movie about a girl who isn't a princess

On Rape and Men, which all the wonderful men on my friends list still need to read. I truly believe that most of you are That Guy, and like some of the commenters said, it's pretty sad that I feel the need to acknowledge guys as good just for not being raging dickheads.

Can I just say I wish, wish, wish that Ellie had appeared beyond the first 10 minutes of the film UP? Because, my god, I loved little Ellie and a character like her - who doesn't change to girly and beautiful in the end- is exactly the kind of female lead I would want in a Pixar movie.

BTW, Pixar has plans for a movie with a female lead - but she is a princess :P

I know. It's depressing.

The only thing I didn't like about Bolt was that the dog was male, protecting female Penny. Penny was a capable person in the show, but they could have made it that much less stereotypical if Penny had been male and Bolt female.

That's why I was careful to say like the Ellie character, not just a female lead. ;)
I saw that princess trailer just before UP. I was hoping my daughter wouldn't ask me to take her. I'm so NOT into the princess thing.
