There's an article on Christina posted today: BlackBook Media - Guides and Popular Culture

She talks about Penelope in it:
Quote:
“So it’s empowering for young women,” Ricci says of the film’s theme. “It’s a good role model to have. When you become only as valuable as your appearance, then you’re no longer a human being; you’re an object”.

She has a theory. “I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified. It’s like the highest form of flattery for teenage girls.

According to MovieWeb, Penelope will be released on DVD July 15th! I kind of wish it was sooner, but I'm looking forward to buying it, regardless. Hee.

I bet, Jor! It's sad that you weren't able to in theaters.

It's all good. Not all movies make it here, unfortunately. At least with a dvd I can watch it whenever I want. And it's cheaper to rent it than go to the movies, anyway.

Yay, you too then, Em!

And, I don't know if you guys are obsessed- I mean, fans... of the Twilight book series that's being made into a movie? Anyway, apparently the Penelope DVD will have a Twilight Sneak Peek on it. EEP.

Can't say I've paid much attention to that, Linds.

You should give it a shot, Jor. The first book, Twilight, is pretty much made of win. I had my issues with the next two, but I adore Twilight.

I want to get into Twilight, but never have. It's so popular now, I might give it a shot this summer.
