Hail Of A Day

The other day, I happened to notice that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was making it’s triumphant return to proudly stand over the dead bodies of the men it beat lifeless the first time around.  This got me thinking…what are my top movies that are geared towards women that wear me out: 

In no particular order:

1) Steel Magnolias
2) Thelma and Louise
3) Joy Luck Club
4) How Stella Got Her Groove Back
5) Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
6) Hope Floats
7) Where The Heart Is

I’m sure I could dig up others, but I would like to hear some comments from others.  So that this is an equal-opportunity blog, I would also like to hear from the women what male-geared movies beat them down.

This is a clever article in the New York Times about hits and misses in advertising gimmicks.  I was particularly drawn to this ad in which Chevy made a billboard of pennies.  They say that it was picked clean in 30 minutes.  At first, I thought, What a bunch of cheapskates that would pick pennies off a billboard!  But then I thought, It’s gotta be people that are planted by Chevy.  Their campaign worked, because it got in the New York Times.
