The Girls on Film

[peroxidepirate]

Here is one of the niftier things the internet has brought me recently (courtesy of gabrielleabelle ): 

"Here at The Girls on Film, we take great film scenes between men and recreate them with women."

So far there are three: scenes from The Town, Fight Club and Star Trek. The last is the only one I've watched, since I haven't seen the source material for the other two -- but I've watched it about six times. I'm kind of in love with lady Pike, and if I wanted to be James T. Kirk already, well -- this cements it.

Also, I'm creating a "topic: feminism" tag -- I can't think why I didn't have one before, except that feminism informs my take on everything, so I'm not sure there's a purpose to tagging it. But hey, there it is.

Oh, *yes*.

Although, neither that hair nor that eye makeup have actually been through a bar fight. Well... it could be really durable eye makeup, but anyone as prone to bar fights as Jim would know to tie her hair *back* before going out and causing trouble.

There is that. *hasn't had long hair in twenty years so didn't consider that angle*

I feel as though the faux nosebleed was overdone a little, too. But I thought the voices/voice acting were great.

As amusing as that was, which it was very.

I am going to agree that there is no way that hair came out of a fight that nicely.

You learn something every day -- now I know this fact. :)

Anyway, I hope they make more!

More would be awesome.

I just watched the one for 'The Town' and, man, I seriously want a gender switched movie now.

In a 'Hey, watch it!' nag: The Town was impressive. It was alot like watching The Departed in that gritty Boston movie feel, but also because it made me blink and go 'Huh. Dude. Affleck CAN act. Who knew?' just like DiCaprio. I wouldn't watch it if you're looking for one of those nice uplifting movies, but a deep, intense film? Yup, it was good.
