You and TR crack me up.<br /><br />I too never think about PW--I've never even seen it all the way through, but I remember being disturbed by how popular the movie was with young women when after all it's a *love story* between a prostitute and a john. Even in 1989 that was disgustingly fatuous.<br /><br />OTOH, I still remember the exact place and time I first saw T&L.Historiannhttp://historiann.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-83216582945635369312011-04-26T22:42:55.050-04:002011-04-26T22:42:55.050-04:00Hard-core, TR.

Excellent idea. I bet Moose would go back to eating carbs if she could get a bit of that.<br /><br />And, Kelly: Holy Toast. Why does this not surprise me?

That's what the stakes are. (But, as economists remind us, in the long run, we all die.)<br /><br />Pretty Woman was about the age old story of using what minimal power the patriarchy gives you to make the best deal within the patriarchy.
