about winona

Just wondering why you guys didn't comment on Girl Interrupted. I hadn't seen the film till recently. I sway a bit on Winona's performance and am curious to your take on it.

Thanks,

Original article: The dominatrix

you're perpetuating it with your criticism

The dominatrix article...is so completely offensive, the artwork alone!! The draw of the newsworthy corset was a shitty move! I had to give the writer the benefit of the doubt so I read on. Ok I get it..sex sells. Although I appreciate your anti-McCain stance and I understand your angle on her strategic placement and role and the reaction of the conservative boner...I have to question the boner of the writer himself. I felt like you were getting off just laying out your sexualized criticism. I found the whole manner in which you approached the subject a mere replication of what you're pointing out. Maybe that was your own ironic tactic. It was lost on me. This woman, although I completely disagree with her political views, at the very least deserves to not be objectified by those who preach from a liberal pulpit. Yeah maybe they did it first, but you did it again!
