I just saw a preview for a movie called "the sisterhood of the traveling pants" Which by the way as a title that makes me think of Annie and her very famous (at least on hatrack) pants.
Anyway, the narrator said it was a movie "that mothers and daughters can see together" If that isn't code for "If you are male, don't see this movie" I don't know what is.

What I don't get is why the voice-overs are always always male, even for such a feminine movie. I think the first company to try this will startle a lot of people.

It looks like it would be a good movie... Better than, say, Bewitched >.<.

Guys don't notice the voice-over of chick-flick previews because we immediately lose interest and start playing with the popcorn until something explodes on the screen.

Any number of movies look better than bewitched, or any other movie starring Will Ferrell for that matter.

arg! Will Ferrel is in it? He gets on my nerves. That, somehow, makes it even WORSE.

Then you have the fact that a woman with a deep, theatre sound system destroying voice isn't all that attractive. It's probably not all that healthy for that matter.

Hehehe.
I think the thing is that irrespsective of gender, a masculine voice is prefered. Authority and strength, that sort of thing.

Makes sense.
Oh no wait, it doesn't.
I wish people would think before spewing their diarrhea on to a page.

I think Bewitched will be ok. I've enjoyed several of Nora Ephron's movies. (My Blue Heaven, When Harry Met Sally, and Sleepless in Seattle.) Posted by jebus202 (Member # 2524) on :

I always think before I post anything.
However, what I am thinking before I post may be the problem.

The reason they have a seven-foot-tall man who's been smoking since childhood is because it's practically traditional. Everytime I see a trailer with this voice I crack up. Everytime I see a trailer which (shock horror!) doesn't, it makes me want to see the attached movie.

There is no virtue in being different just because it is different, any more than there is virtue in conforming just because it is conforming.
There is no reason to break a mold just because it is a mold.

I need to read that book. THEN decide if I want to see the movie or not. Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
One thing going for males: the film features Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn, both of which are hawt.

One time when I was backstage during our fall play I was really bored and one of the girls on stage left a book on the ground. I am a compulsive reader so I picked it up. It just so happened to be The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I read about a third of it before I had to go on stage and liked it. Plan to read the rest of it but don't really want to see the movie. Looks like a complete chick flick.
Oh no just admitted I want to read The Sisterhood of the Traveling pants...Um..How about those bears? Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
The book was okay.
And I can't understand calling Alexis Bledel hawt. I mean, she's pretty, even beautiful, but she's too cute and innocent to be hawt. Of course, I'm not a guy.
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
It's my Gilmore Girls conception of her character Rory, mostly. She's cute, geeky, and has a killer wit. That, for me, is hella hawt.
Rory would make a great addition to the every-growing list of Hatrack Hotties...
...if only she was a real person.
Posted by imenimok (Member # 7679) on :
Having read all three books (and liked them), I can't help but put the story in the same category as Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood or that other movie that involves four girls--Now and Then, maybe? So guys who don't like chick flicks will probably hate it, but I think it will be decent. I think Amber was well-cast, but I don't know enough about the others to decide.
Posted by Taalcon (Member # 839) on :
And I freely admit to falling in love with characters over the actresses who portray them.
I would climb mountaints for Natalie Portman's Sam (Garden State), Scarlett Johansson's Charlotte (Lost in Translation), and Alexis Bledel's Rory (Gilmore Girls).
Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
Rory is a nice girl, but Lorelai, now THAT's a woman.
America Ferrera was great in Real Women Have Curves. I hope her role is a solid one and not just as some lame comedy relief.
Posted by imenimok (Member # 7679) on :
She may be more comedy relief than the other three, but she should be solid as well.
