Both I and Obi-Wan sympathize, Blue.

I agree with amar to some extent though I don't think it is really possible to hold off all christmas decorations and such til after thanksgiving it really does bother me that people tend to skip thanksgiving at Target in the dollar section all the thanksgiving stuff was on clearance when halloween stuff went on clearance and now you can hardly find anything for thanksgiving I love Christmas but it is becoming way to commericalized and more about decorations and money than about the true meaning though I defintitly can not wait for Christmas Carols I love the holiday season with thanksgiving and Christmas I just wish people paid more attention to Thanksgiving

I don't officially start celebrating Christmas until after thanksgiving. One holiday at a time people. lol.

But I suppose stores can sell stuff early.

but the McDonalds I went to the other day does not have my permission to set up in all Christmas decorations with Christmas music playing.

That was not Ok.

I know places decorating early I don't know how i feel about it some times its nice to get in the overall holiday spirit but it just seems a bit early though today I went in to work (at Disney) and our shop was decorated for Christmas (to be fair we start our christmas parties this friday) and I have to admit I was kinda excited it looked really nice me and my fellow co workers were oohing and awing and going crazy with it of course we were also playing with swords so that just shows how childish we are hehe we have fun

An outstanding article: http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2013/08/i-hate-strong-female-characters

I agree with it completely; it is so important to have equal numbers of male and female characters.

You know, this makes me want to write Marvel and DC and ask them to make some female superhero movies! In the 45 Marvel/DC superhero movies that have been made since 2000, two of them featured female characters in the lead role. Two out of forty-five. That is absolutely ridiculous. It's been clearly established that women will go see superhero films, and there are PLENTY of characters for them to use. I think I will write them and tell them my opinion. Sitting around and complaining isn't going to change anything. Who's with me?

Definitely!! Great article, DSK, thanks for sharing it!! . As a write and an actor, this is definitely a message I want people to listen to- I love awesome girl fighters as much as the next girl, but the reason I enjoyed those characters was because they were well developed too. A character, even if their good at fighting, who has no development becomes boring very quickly.
And YES, equal representation!! That's what I have been doing in my writing and is what I'll continue to do.
Sounds like a good idea! Yes, we definitely need more female-lead superhero films. I know most people would go and see it.
