I wouldn't mind having Haskins as a regular feature here on Broadsheet. I've seen every video of her that I could find, and I'm thrilled that there's a new one.

Damnit, I'm laughing here in my cube just remembering some of them.

Keep up the linking!

Boo to the naysayers. I don't have the energy to go searching for Sarah Haskins. I prefer to find her here! Thanks for ignoring the Debbie Downers from last time around.

I've always thought the romcom was a hazing ritual all leading actresses had to go through, but do they make money anymore? I thought the only movie I was allowed to see this year without being dragged by my boyfriend was Sex and the City.

This also seems to fit the mold better for the Super Magical Pixie Girl you posted about a few weeks ago. The cute actress with a funky apartment and hip clothes and a dream job...annoying.

And I agree: The Daily Show really could use Sarah Haskins.

I alllllmoooost posted this to my blog, too, but 2 of my last 10 postings are Target: Women pods, and it's just a personal blog. I thought it might be too much. But, heck with it, you're right, this is awesome, she is awesome!

The yogurt one was the funniest. She's funnier when she swears.

Please keep posting these so I don't have to go find them myself!

...but the 1939 George Cukor film "The Women" (starring Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, and pretty much everyone who was anyone at MGM) was the opposite of a chick flick. These weren't Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha--these "friends" were two-faced, cutting, nasty, cruel, backstabbing... and absolutely hilarious.

It'll be interesting to see what the remake is like...

I've actually started watching InfoMania every Thursday night so I can catch Sarah before her videos are posted here. The show is funny even when she's not on it. While I no longer need the videos posted it was Broadsheet that introduced me to the awesomeness that is Sarah Haskins and any newcomers should have the privilege of being introduced to this incredibly funny, intelligent woman.

I've been looking for Colin Firth since the first Bridget Jones movie came out. And Bridget Jones is, of course, a single, fun-loving career woman desperate for a boyfriend. Like all of us.

I think I'm going to go to babeland, pick something out, and name it Colin Firth. Let's see them make a movie about THAT.

this video of sarah haskins was really super killer. I too, love chick flicks and in fact, as transgender woman- liked them even before my transition. I can't identify with the being successful at any career part and still feeling the need to cry; but I used to watch those harlequin romances just to get more depressed and, in fact, cry and reinforce my sense of " romantic hopelessness".

but now, as lesbian-oriented transwoman, even though I've seen the holiday and others and gotten a good cry; I often wonder WHY all these romance movies ALWAYS feature the "girl who meets guy", or heterosexual, script? is every women in search, desperately, for the MAN ONLY, to make her feel complete??

why can't hollywood show more alternatives to the usual "needy and lonely career princess meets her prince charming and they fall in love"[ with the modern, unabliity to commit- he said/she said bullshit, always included.LOL]???

there are many girls whom fall in love, you know, but NOT with men only! [ in fact , in the book " fried green tomatoes", two of the women fell in love with each other- but that was edited from the movie script!]

so far this summer, I've read three great lesbian romance novels[ choices-nancy toder; annie on my mind- teen romance which ended happily ever after, by nancy garden, and now " love match" by sandra faulkner/judy nelson- all about judy's real-life relationship with tennis star martina navratilova]

I think that the third one mentioned above{ love match}- would make a great, and interesting, romance movie!

I agree about putting Sarah Haskins on the Daily Show. Please!

also, that clip from The Women doesn't resemble anything I remember from the play, as someone else noted. Where's the Jungle Red nail polish? I was looking forward to it, but now I'm worried...

But this is only the second video with her I've seen posted here in, what? Two, three months? I'd certainly like to see more.

Check out "Kissing Jessica Stein" -- it's a sort of bisexual oriented chick flick: cute girl with the cool job and crappy love life meets unlikely suitor and falls in love (with a lady), heartbreak ensues, but they end up living happily ever after. Same formula, different gender. Like the indie chick flick.

PS I heart Sarah Haskins. She's my favorite Friday morning google video search.

...save your cash for WATCHMEN, or something that won't fry your brains...:)

...midway through THE WOMEN trailer, there's a shot of Ryan showing off her nails, followed by one of a bottle of Jungle Red nail polish. :)

Relatedly, I'm wondering how they are going to make this a sisterhood-type movie given that one of the key plot elements in the original material is how some of Mary's friends turn against her. As another poster noted, the source of much of the original THE WOMEN comedy is all about rich women catfighting and younger/sexier women using sex to climb up the ladder.

I love her stuff; thank you for bringing her to our attention. But as a man, watching her vids makes me feel all confused: she's funny AND she's a woman? How did that happen?

Just kidding--well, sort of. Up until the recent past, I haven't been aware of TOO many amusing female comedians (comediennes?). Carol Burnett, OK. And the explosion of comedy venues in the US and Canada over the past twenty years seems to have led to an increase in female comedians generally (as well as a large increase in the number of unfunny male comedians). So now we have Samantha Bee on the Daily Show, we have Sarah Silverman; Tina Fay is clearly a comic genius; Amy Sedaris is always good for a laugh...but then I start to run out of names. Maybe I'm just unaware of some funny up and coming female comedians (or well established female comedians, for that matter). But I'm tempted to blame my general unfamiliarity with funny female entertainers on the ol' "men and women just have different senses of humour" thing (or, as most men like to say, at least among themselves, "women just aren't funny").

So, what do you think? Lack of opportunities for women who want to be comedians? Boys are encouraged to clown around, girls are discouraged from doing so? Or is the answer "Sexist pig! Just because you're a man, that doesn't mean that you get to decide what's funny and what's not! Womyn have always been funny; men are just unable to appreciate our greatness!"

Discuss.
