semiotic_pirateHey out there!
Iffen any chick (pirate or otherwise) out there wants to view a movie with female empowerment in it - get ye to see Live Free or Die Hard. The two main female characters are powerful. Especially McClain's daughter. Of course, even from the first, with Ms. Generro, we see a series of strong female characters. Makes me very happy. It was amusing to see the bad guys continue to make patriarchal assumptions about Lucy over and over again. Though it was a surprising attitude from the S/O of the other strong female character... it just might be that he wasn't making the assumptions but his minion was, which is why... no, that would be a spoiler.
That the writers did enough research to at least have some of the hacker speak spot on... that was cute. "Get me the Black Hat files!" Hahahahahaha!
Unlike some of the critics, I didn't find the beginning of the movie to be slow or boring or whatever. It was just right, and very similar in pace as the beginning of all the other movies in the Die Hard franchise. Wow. They actually want to give you some insight into each of the character's personality and what the story... you know, the plot? is going to be about for the rest of the movie. Sheesh.
Five gold dubloons for this one.

In other news: Had lunch with junquegirl and had a great time. We did have a few moments here and there of the first IRL meeting, but it was expected and joked about so we did fine.
