(I would also like to know what episode Darci is in after seeing Ed walk in the background of West Wing in several episodes) I only have one girl and perhaps if I had more it would be different, but as awesome as our relationship is I firmly believe girls need their dads. While my daughter gets her love of music, sarcasm and critical "outside of the box" thinking skills from me, her self-esteem and security come from Daddy alone. The media does usually portray the husband/father as the clueless idiot who would rather be at a sporting event then spend time with his family.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049479754726104291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651482149036394430.post-85622929773438665922008-09-24T15:21:00.000-07:002008-09-24T15:21:00.000-07:00What a great post!I'm going to have to look into t...What a great post!<BR/><BR/>I'm going to have to look into that book.<BR/><BR/>One movie that came to mind right away was the Jamie Lee Curtis/Lindsay Lohan version of Freaky Friday. I loved how the mom and daughter got (literally) into each others heads.<BR/><BR/>We just 'discovered' Gilmore Girls a few weeks ago when some youth leaders brought Season 1 for a movie night at our house. I wasn't interested when it was in production, but now that our girls are teenagers, it has been great to watch and talk about it with them.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the Disney formula applies to dads as well. They are also absent, distant, bumbling... My husband often points out how tv commericals belittle men.<BR/><BR/>I'll be looking at things a little more closely now!stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070263353485891308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651482149036394430.post-67545309975290156102008-09-24T11:30:00.000-07:002008-09-24T11:30:00.000-07:00Okay,Now I have a little more time to make a real ...Okay,<BR/>Now I have a little more time to make a real "comment". I wanted to add one of my favorite movies- The Incredibles. Great mom, like me, and a superhero, also like me. :o) I think I can really relate to that movie. :o) True, most movies have what our family calls the "Disney formula" -whereas one parent is missing, and it is usually the mom. Most of the time the parent is dead, for dramatic emphasis, instead of divorced. I think the movie makers do it to draw emotion from the viewer because who wouldn't feel sorry for a character without a mom? Notice it usually isn't the dad that is missing. Why? I think it is because so many people grasp how hard it would really be to live a life without mom. Maybe they are trying to make that point- that we should value our mothers because they do make such an impact on our world. I really don't know why movies overuse the "Disney formula". I do agree that it makes it hard to visually see the role of the mother. Another one of my favorite movies is "What a Girl Wants". What she wants is a family. Very cute, and I love Amanda Bynes (Collin Firth isn't too bad, either). Anyway, great blog, Star. You are so insightful. :Darcinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389095472868456029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651482149036394430.post-42264681060340251122008-09-23T22:46:00.000-07:002008-09-23T22:46:00.000-07:00I want to know what episode of Gilmore Girls Darci...I want to know what episode of Gilmore Girls Darci is in so I can watch that episode and see her!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16812029460955193169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651482149036394430.post-74458875012253361192008-09-23T21:05:00.000-07:002008-09-23T21:05:00.000-07:00Star, Just a little trivia for your favorite show....Star, <BR/>Just a little trivia for your favorite show. I'm in an episode of Gilmore Girls. I'm in the background (and you really can see me) drinking fake wine or something. Anyway, I'll add more later, but that was just for fun.
