We are writing in response to the ridiculous impugnment of our sexual desirability by one, Sub Dio. Your comment about our love of the film, 10 Things I Hate About You has left us no choice but to defend ourselves.
Here is a detailed list explaining why 10 Things I Hate About You is not only a great movie, but also a testament to our fabulous taste in movies, and our sexual desirability.
1. Heath Ledger is in it.
2. The main character is female, and she references Betty Friedan and Sylvia Plath, and all without cleavage, self tanner, or otherwise degrading herself.
3. Allison Janney is in it. (The beloved C.J. Craig from West Wing.)
4. The Shakespearean tale of unrequited love and coming of age is vastly superior to the superficial teen movies that flood the market each year.
5. The movie contains the classic reference by the father to: "Those damn Dawson's river kids, sleeping in each others beds and whatnot" right before he makes his daughter wear "the belly" to encourage abstinence. ooh classic.
Now, sub dio. I will end with the most scathing comeback of all. Ive said it once, Ive said it a thousand times:: "Whatever, you listen to Coldplay"

Hey, I listen to Coldplay. Actually, I went through a Coldplay thing last summer, and I'm pretty much over it now. If I want U2, I'll listen to U2, not a cheap imitation.

You're right about "10 Things I Hate about You." ANY movie with Heath Ledger in it is worth seeing at least a few times. His hair's not great in that one; luckily he pulled it together in time for "Brokeback." By the way, "Ned Kelly" is worth checking out--it's Ledger and Orlando Bloom. Bloom is too much of a pretty boy to me, but he has his moments.

And thanks for the idea for a middle name. I like Sunshine--it has a decidedly hippie groove to it. Along those Beatnik/Hippie lines, there's Peace, Patchouli, Bittersweet, Storm, Saga, Mystery, Ethereal, and Gypsy. Hmmm...

Thats funny. Somehow I think being ripped off by corporate America would be preferential to well lets see, what were your exact words? :: "Everything they have should be confiscated and they should be dropped off at the most southern tip of Mexico"
Since Im so immature and inexperienced, maybe you could explain how the hell your 'experienced' mind came up with that bullshit? Your worse than Ann Coulter !

First of all...

Knox Vegas! I dig it!

Secondly...

I'm a feminist, and I wear makeup, get my hair done, shop for un-teachery shoes, and wear perfume. I'm a quintessential girly-girl who dares to think that women are people.

Hello? Camille Paglia?

By the way Kathanda, check out the Mr. Gay competition at:

Hoo-aah, kw!
That movie is a freaking riot, and Tom Cruise's alter ego, Heath Ledger could resurrect the worst train wreck of a flick ever made.
Had he been alive when the worst science fiction movie ever (Plan Nine From Outer Space, of course) was made, and had he been cast in even a supporting role, it would have won an Oscar!
