    full panic

    I'm way late for this article, but I just have to post b/c I'm in a full panic that salon will take seriously the petulant and idiotic posters who think that somehow Stephanie didn't get this movie down pat.

    I'm talking dead fucking on. Did you people see this thing, or are you just in a tiff b/c you want to like it when you go next weekend? I like ABBA too, folks, but this was insulting.

    The contrived "sisterhood" crap--of both the younger and older trios of women in this movie--bring to mind the pablum that is Ya Ya. *shiver*

    I'm embarrassed that salon readers are this lacking in taste.
