Our Idiot Brother

I enjoyed it. It's not a laugh riot but it's a nice movie with some humor here and there. Rashida Jones was really cute in it. Zooey Deschanel and Paul Rudd were naked for a little but Steve Coogan was like 98% naked for a whole scene. By 98% naked, I mean naked except for holding his hands over his bits.

100% nudity would be like Ewan McGregor in the first ten or fifteen minutes of Velvet Goldmine...ooh, that's a nice movie...Ewan McGregor has sex with Christian Bale in it. ;)

Also, I forgot to mention another thing I loved about ( Fright Night )

Also, in regards to Doctor Who, that was the best kiss since Jack bought Ianto back to life...

Sexism in Doctor Who

Okay, I don't want a debate or an argument, I just want to know...

Why does everyone keep referring to Moffat's writing as sexist?

Please provide examples.

I also don't understand when they mention how great Rusty was with women. Now, I'm trying to remember why I liked Rusty in the first place. I know I did. Sometimes, I see episodes like Parting of the Ways and I'm totally enjoying myself, but...

Rose

Rose was a woman who hadn't gone to university or done much with her life, but she's able to help save the world

YAY!

But she's horrible to her boyfriend, Rhys...err, I mean Mickey...

BOO

Then, she's forced to lived in an alternate world where her mom gets her happily ever after and she's pining away for her Doctor

BOO

But she works for Torchwood and gets to do awesome things and save the world

YAY!

But she gets married off to a human version of the Doctor and we're supposed to feel good about that...

BOO

Martha

Martha is a successful young woman who's studying a doctor and helps save the world...err, moon...hospital?

Yay!

She spends most of the season pining away for the Doctor...

BOO

But she realizes how stupid this is, leaves him, works for UNIT and gets engaged to a fellow doctor...

YAY!

But then, we find out that she leaves UNIT, becomes a freelancer and marries...Mickey? who she's had like two words with all series?

BOO

Donna

Donna is a vain, vapid, superficial temp at the remains of Torchwood. She's been in a number of dead-end jobs and her mom isn't encouraging at all.

BOO

However, she holds her own with the Doctor and saves him as well as the planet.

YAY!

She tracks him down and wins a place as a companion, being so incredibly awesome.

YAY!

Donna is forced to forget all her awesomeness or she'll die and the Doctor makes this choice for her so she returns to her superficial self

BOO

Then, she marries and hits the lottery and we're all supposed to be happy for her...

BOO

I suppose part of why her ending angered me so much was that she and Rose had similar paths but Rose is young, she has plenty of time to do things. Donna had life experience and was able to show that even the temp, the lowest of the low jobs could still contribute and be awesome. Ianto held this role in Torchwood. He started off as the tea boy, the one who "cleans up your shit no questions asked because that's how you like it" and we want to see him and Donna succeed so much because we can identify with them more. They're the underdogs and if they can't make it...what hope do the rest of us have?

Also, they all get married off and we don't hear from them again?

I also have problems with Rusty's treatment of homosexual relationships (sometimes, they do live happily ever after) and religion.

However, with so many on my FList insisting Moffat is so sexist, I'm beginning to wonder whether I'm sexist? Why aren't I seeing what they do? Am I just blinded by the brilliance of Coupling and Jekyll? I am a Southern girl, have I been secretly brainwashed?

PS Canton is being so incredibly adorable on Leverage...
