For those who were curious about Battle Royale, the book that The Hunger Games supposedly ripped off, I wrote a review comparing the two here.

Female Characters, Mary Sues and Sexism: a bit of a rant (properly structured and backed up with evidence, I promise) on the perception of female characters as opposed to male characters and how often the standard insult for a female character is to call her a "Mary Sue"

Did a bit today on Spike Jonze's brilliant short film, MOURIR APRÈS DE TOI. It's about what happens inside Paris' Shakespeare & Co. Bookstore when the lights go out.

Truly, this is a must-see film. And, it's hilarious!
