SILVERSUN PICKUPS THAT'S ANOTHER WITH A CHICK BASSIST.
Fact: If it's an indie band, the chick's a bassist (with the occasional exception, admittedly).
Fact: If it's a medieval-style army, the chick's an archer.

In terms of the latter, my theory is thus:
It's a passive weapon. As in, lady with a bow and arrow'll never have to actually stab anyone. It's like in the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. Thisbe doesn't stab herself at the end. She throws herself on Pyramus' sword because she's too much of a pussy (literally?) to hurt herself intentionally. Same with archery. Arwen and Kate and fucking Kiera Knightley and Susan are such fucking pussies they can't actually inflict pain on people directly. They have to fling something at someone else.

The noteable exception, of course, is when Kate (Juliette Lewis) grows a damn pair and shoots her brother and he explodes out of joy that his sister isn't a total coward. I would've preferred a nice kick to the face, but given the amount of vampires attached to her brother at the time, I guess I can understand her reluctance to get close. And for the record, a gun is okay. A bow and fucking arrow is not.


The other exception, of course, is when Eowyn swords the crap out of a Nazgul and is partially responsible for swording a Ring Wraith. But she doesn't really count because she spends most of the movie trying to get in Aragorn's pants and failing.


This has fuck do with shit. It's just been bothering me for a while.

And I went to the Felice Brothers at the Paradise a week back. I'll write a review at some point...

Until then
