People are packaged as products even faster than TV and film, and marketing appearance is a big part of that (regardless of gender), but yeah -- women are seldom thought to be anything more than the way they look.

I still wonder if they made some sort of Faustian bargain after the first CHARLES IN CHARGE (a terrible CBS kids' sitcom) theme musically plagiarized the melody of their "Dover Beach," and CBS, forced to give them actual support, said, OK, but you will need to become dolls...but I suspect CBS probably took the attitude that everything they did was for the Bangles' benefit...I mean, c'mon, women can't play instruments, they wear clothes.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944798.post-26502645697421331732010-04-16T14:53:09.673-04:002010-04-16T14:53:09.673-04:00Believe me, I do.

Wow -- were they good and I was *heavily* prejudiced against Fanning and Stewart.<br /><br />I dunno about the choppiness -- but I always approach things from a scripting POV and you are so magnificently visual, I think we are hard to please in different directions. I think we both agree GO SEE IT!C.

(I suppose they'd rather be remembered via the horrific 'Edgeplay' which doesn't portray anybody in a positive light - except Currie. Jett refused to participate in that flick.) Fox actually tried to sue the producers of 'Runaways.'<br /><br />Jett was also much more involved in the burgeoning punk scene than anyone in the Runaways, and definitely after the band broke up.<br /><br />I thought the choppiness really helped by eliminating problematic gaps between the events; I love that the sexuality was treated as is, and not pornified.<br /><br />Stewart, Fanning and Shannon were really amazingly good.The Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941890139358671232noreply@blogger.com
