Plus it was fun to see them having to find suitable locations as they couldn't just go to India or Paris. It was indeed quite an epic story, and I was impressed that Babymouse was able to create the script, I was already worried since she seemed to have start-up problems. The movie (not the whole ego stuff, but the script/idea) was a fun one. What I did like? The combo of comics with normal text and illustrations. So we have Ducks, Cats, Giraffes and more just walking around being human, but then there are normal elephants and geese that are animals? Plus pets? What? How does that work? I feel sorry for the producers/directors if they continue acting when they are adults.Īlso I am a bit confused about the animals/the world. I just found them a bit too much over the top. My gosh, people you are in middle school not in a real film production, so get your head out of your. ![]() Oh yes, we have to get on with the movie, let's just say x and y and be done with it.įelicia and Henry were also way too urgh. Plus I hated how easily everything was just magically resolved. :| Even before the film started and her head was filled to the brim with that movie. She was annoying, bossy, and I just wanted to throw into a lake. Welp, this started off pretty decent, but I quickly grew tired of Babymouse. ![]()

I picked up “Agatha of Little Neon” for its unusual subject and I got pulled in by Agatha's voice. Nuns, of course, have greatly diminished in number since the '60s and, in recent decades, when they do make an occasional appearance on screen they're often grim, even baroque characters like Meryl Streep's Sister Aloysius in “ Doubt” or Jessica Lange's Sister Jude in “ American Horror Story.” The implication is that there must be something "off" about a woman who would choose such a life of self-abnegation.Ĭlaire Luchette's debut novel, “Agatha of Little Neon,” offers a counter-narrative about a young 21st-century nun who's neither a holy fool nor a musical miracle worker nor a monster. “The Flying Nun” starring a buoyant Sally Field was on TV, "Singing Nun" Jeanine Deckers appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and her life was made into a movie there was “The Trouble with Angels” and the "Mother Superior" of all nun movies, “ The Sound of Music.” For a brief time, nuns, in particular, were everywhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was a Catholic schoolgirl during a strange moment in the 1960s when Catholicism infiltrated American popular culture. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Housework, after all, is virtually invisible: “No one notices it until it isn’t done – we notice the unmade bed, not the scrubbed and polished floor." Invisible, repetitive, exhausting, unproductive, uncreative – these are the adjectives which most perfectly capture the nature of housework. Just as a woman’s maternal duties are always taken for granted, her never-ending toil as a housewife rarely occasions expressions of appreciation within her family. As startling as this statistic may be, it does not even account for the constant and unquantifiable attention mothers must give to their children. – apparently consume some three to four thousand hours of the average housewife’s year.
