I wish facebook would stop embarassing me
Sun. June 15, 2008
Being on Facebook is like having a whiny little bitch friend. It’s programmed to gossip about you and all your other friends and what you’re up to. Why can’t I play Scramble at 3am without all my friends getting emailed about my latest feat in word discovery?!
Recently, Facebook wronged me in a way that I am reluctant to admit. But I’ll just say it. It announced that I rented “27 Dresses.” Which brings up 2 questions. One, why is Blockbuster rental info hooked up to Facebook? And two, is it trying to embarrass me?! What’s next, is my doctor’s office gonna start writing to my wall? “Sari’s blood pressure just went up to 150 over 110.” “Sari has heartburn.” But why didn’t Facebook decide to announce when I got cooler movies like Brick or Juno. As much as I like to support women directors (Anne Fletcher directed 27 Dresses), why can’t there be more women directed projects that are fucking cool? Off hand I can only think of a handful of projects that women directed that aren’t chick flicks: Fast Times At Ridgemont High (Amy Heckerling), Lost In Translation (Sofia Coppola), Big (Penny Marhsall) for starters….
While I don’t have anything against girlie movies, and my own creations are oft described as ‘charming’ (Little CEO, Without A Hitch), someday I want to be the girl who directs the next Fight Club meets Old School.
