You’re right, I don’t speak Swedish, but it’s a fascinating question, isn’t it?

I guess you do not speak Swedish but here is a link anyway:

Buy from Amazon

Judging by reader reviews, it’s a pretty popular sentiment!

I don’t like the idea that some violence instantly makes a movie a “boy” movie, or that girls are automatically less likely than boys to enjoy such things. And in a movie like V for Vendetta, which balks the trend of Hollywood action adventure movies that are very male-centered, it bothers me particularly.

One of the things I really like about the movie is how the fact that Evie’s head is shaved means she is not even traditional eye candy and meant only to be seen by the male gaze. And really the entire movie is about her character arc. True, it would be EVEN BETTER if there were more female characters in the movie, but sadly, what we see here is better than most, IMO.

Maybe I’m staring right at it and not seeing it.

I read about someone else who had to use a FB/Twitter acct. to start up, so it wasn’t just me. Maybe they’ve changed their system since they’re growing so fast.
