In Reply to: Snert. Never. This chick don't like chick flicks... posted by Harmonia on March 28, 2003 at 11:49:01:
My reply was in response to the sarcastic, "'Girly?' Just what, pray tell, is that?" You knew perfectly well what I meant, as shown by this remark: "Darn, not a chick flick in there."Visual "surface pleasures" I find objectionable, especially when coupled to a scatter-headed, mysticism-lite plot and executed in faux-primitive cartooning style.
A woman/girl can be the protagonist in a picture and yet it needn't be "girly". There are films where the protagonist is a guy and it's still "girly". And by the way, Britney Sears is not girly. As for that being "a comment that I have not seen leveled by any reviewer/critic at this film", well, no one would dare! Look what happened to me...

Oh: Rabbit Proof Fence. Girls, but not girly. However, a pack of lies. Can't be perfect!
Talk to Her: Half-girly I'd say. Note I also commanded everyone to see it.
