Dear Movie, You Confuse Me...
Are you supposed to be a grrl power movie about how to bitch forward and move ahead with your career? Or are you supposed to make me feel bad about myself because the "fat" one in the movie was a size 6? (don't worry, by the end she is a 4) Are you basically telling me that if I have any desire to be a successful career woman that it will cost me my inner femininity, social life, boyfriend and giving nature? Once again the question of whether or not as a woman you can have both the succesful business life along with a social/family life comes into play. On one hand we have Miranda (played by the brilliant Ms. Streep) who has lost her husband, friends, and well, soul to her job. She is an emotionless cuntrag who shits all over her co-workers and would-be friends. One the other we have Andrea, bright eyed and ready to make her mark on the world - As long as that mark is a flowery, happy, dewey faced world where all the scary bad people stay out of. In the end, she quits her fast paced, fast road job with Miranda to go back to her boyfriend and take some crappy job at a local news rag. (did I forget to mention that the movie glosses over the fact that Andrea bangs some euro trash dude in Paris and then just decides not to bring it up with her hottie smitten *vince from Entourage* boyfriend?? What the hell is up with that?) You leave me confused "The Devil Wears Prada". I'm not quite sure what you were going for here, but I like the Jimmy Choo shoes.

This makes me doubly glad that I didn't watch the movie.
mystifying, much like the reproductive system.
damn kat - you pretty much just made me hate myself for loving that movie : but what i got from it is the fact that people (especially women) are unhappy when their lives are out of balance. Take it from me, it sucks whether you focus all your love an attention to a man (and feel like a professional loser) or if you work 80 hours a week (and go home alone, crying yourself to sleep) There is a happy medium - it's just so difficult to discover AND maintain it.
I actually didn't hate the movie at all.(i mean, it was no Legally Blond though) I was baffled, but I think you just put it into perspective beautifully eleni :)And if you figure out the balance thing, PLEASE let me know. <3
in the spirit of bitch parade (that right we've all ready established that this isnt golden girls) FUCK YOU KAT! :D
lol...EAT A DICK!
This conversation just keeps getting better and better.. *gets popcorn*
This movie is quite obvious-it’s all about how the gays rule the fashion industry and they don’t care if they influence women or young girls to dress like sluts – why should they care?
