She reminds me a younger Debra Winger, whom I absolutely revere.<br /><br />This sounds like some interesting issues this show is raising. I'd love to see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-90901812801274594032012-01-27T17:19:12.147+00:002012-01-27T17:19:12.147+00:00Duude!

Because there's a fair amount of character development, not really with Jess but definitely with Schmidt- the dude's got layers! But anyway, my point isn't really to make everyone like New Girl (we can't all like the same things etc) but just to make the point that it isn't unfeminist, which you agree with, so that's cool!<br /><br />Also, 2 Broke Girls is SO much fun, and also made me cry LOADS! Max is definitely a more defined/kick ass character than Jess, so I think you might like it. Maybe... Just don't tell me if you don't and we'll be all good!

The thing is, it's a sitcom, so I'm not reaally expecting massive amounts of character realism, you know? I just think it's fun, and way not unfeminist.

Because while she's got pretty hair, and wears vintage clothes and occasionally makes a reference to LOTR she doesn't really have a lot going for her, and I can't see how she's possibly going to grow as a character. The boys are just as bad in my eyes, they all have their cemented place complete with stereotypes and I could tell you what the primary plot points for the next 6 eps will likely be based on the history of characters like them. <br /><br />That said, I completely agree that the crap about it "damaging feminism" is a load of crap. It's like girls who wear saccharine dresses are somehow promoting the idea that men should treat women like little girls/dolls. Can't we all get to the point where we understand that there are different types of feminism, and just because you aren't burning your bra or hating on all men doesn't mean you're damaging the sisterhood. <br /><br />//end rant. <br /><br />I think that guy looks like a cross between young Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. Which is very, very good. I might have to watch the show now, just for him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-14958515016515315742012-01-27T15:58:03.702+00:002012-01-27T15:58:03.702+00:00OK so I do watch New Girl sometimes and while I do...OK so I do watch New Girl sometimes and while I don't think she's a knife in the back of feminism, I do think she's an idiot. Very nice, sweet, etc, but kind of stupid. Or maybe so naive as to be unbelievable.<br /><br />And she's def a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Essentially just a pile of quirks with no real personality beyond the quirks. I love the quirks and she is adorable, but I don't think she's really a fully realized character. Now I don't agree with the people who are like "OMG she wears a dress and likes romantic comedies??? Stop setting feminism back!!" cos that's ridiculous. That said I do enjoy the show when I see it.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.com
