Townie 4L

I watched The Town awhile ago but it's never too late to blog, right?

So, I really liked it. I didn't want to see it in the theatre but then with the Trashachusetts fest in my DVD player, how could I not watch this one?

First off, I totally agree about the guy from The Hurt Locker getting an Oscar nom coming from left field. Other than having a Celtics tattoo and being a run of the mill dude, he existed. Yawn.

However, I loved the messed up damaged girl (learning to love myself more) and I love Ben Affleck in this movie. I think I don't always love him. It kind of made me want to find a townie to date a little, cos I'm lonely. Maybe my last bf was a bit of a townie, so maybe I have that in the bag.

I liked that the movie made me cringe a lot, and I liked that the FBI saw the messed up lady as a possible accomplice and not immediately a victim. Have you seen the White House study about how women still make 75% of what men make? And then the op-ed in the NY Times, the Disposable Woman? It's about what reality TV does to women or how it treats women. You should read it and tell me what you think since you're the TV expert.
