Dinner and a Movie

dcompose and I went out to dinner and to see 'Beastly' ...

I have to say it was really cute ... D and I both expected that it would be pretty horrible, but it was really cute!  I think I'll be buying it on DVD when it comes out :D 

Neil Patrick Harris totally stole every scene he was in!!!  He was totally hysterical!!!  Mary-Kate Olsen was also in it, and she did a really good job ... I really enjoyed the movie!!!

They showed a couple of previews for some movies that actually look pretty good ...

One is 'Soul Surfer' about Bethany Hamilton, the girl who was attacked by a shark while surfing:

They also showed a preview for 'Dylan Dog: Dead of Night' starring Brandon Routh ... it could be good/funny ... it also stars Sam Huntington, who I think will be the comic relief :D

Then we wandered around Downtown Disney, particularly the Lego store, where I saw the coolest things!!!


Some of the world's most famous buildings, which you can now build with Legos!


Lego!Woody!!!!!


It's a giraffe completely made of Legos!!!!


Hogwarts made of Legos!!!!!

I had so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (and wow this was a long post LOL)

Well, there goes my good mood for the day.

NYTimes, the bastion of quality reporting, reported on the gang-rape of an 11 year-old girl in Texas  that's led to charges against 18 high-school boys so far - all well and good so far, right?  Shit like this NEEDS publicity to raise awareness. 

Only problem is, they repeated - without refutation or critical commentary - the claims that the girl brought the rape on herself because of the way she was dressed.

Choice Quotes (No cut b/c everyone needs to see this - DEAL.):

“It’s just destroyed our community,” said Sheila Harrison, 48, a hospital worker who says she knows several of the defendants. “These boys have to live with this the rest of their lives.”  As opposed to the victim, who's gonna bounce back lickety-fucking-split, right?

Residents in the neighborhood where the abandoned trailer stands — known as the Quarters — said the victim had been visiting various friends there for months. They said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at a playground, some said.  TOTALLY BEGGING FOR IT.

THIS IS RAPE CULTURE, PEOPLE.

Now, what's being said and done in this community is bad enough, but the NY Times should be fucking ashamed of themselves right now.
