There's too many people nowadays with too much data. It's like a giant pipe pouring alpha-numerics all over our computer screens. What are we going to do with all this data? Do we need it? Why are so many creating more and more of it. ...I mean, think about it. "Yeah, Hey, I wanna write some more stuff on my blog 'cause I'm a blogger!" "I need to find all the information I can get on the internet!"

I saw this movie recently that really blew me away. It's called "But, Im a Cheerleader!" (1999) and it stars Natasha Leon and Clea Duvall. I found it oddly parallel to our current internet friggin' world.

Ok, yes, so this movie is very funny in over-doing all the aspects of femininity and masculinity. There are pink/blue contrasts, men chopping wood and fixing cars, women cooking, cleaning, and wearing bridal dresses. It's all pretty typical.

But much more than that I think this movie is about the absurdist society we live in. Natasha Leon plays a high school girl who is a cheerleader, has a jocko boyfriend, and is the ordinary American suburban girl. Then she realizes that she is a lesbian. She works up the courage to tell her mother and father, and they send her to this live-in rehab place. She falls in love with a girl whom she meets soon after. This movie clearly shows two people in love, but we have created institutions and beliefs like this 'rehabilitation house' (a representation of how we isolate homosexuals from our society). This movie acknowledges and criticizes our society for expecting that all women are completely subordinate and housewife-like, and that all men love cars and are big and muscular. Right?

And plus, the way that this movie stereotypes gays and lesbians (in a completely non-realistic way) mirrors our ignorant views of them. It shows that in our society, when somebody says the word lesbian or gay, they automatically think of a person like those portrayed in the film. Most people don't realize that gays and lesbians are completely normal people too, the only thing different is their sexual preference which is ultimately but a very small part of their lives.

I hope that this movie resonates on that level with all the LGBT haters (or dislikers) to show them how absurd THEY are.

...Aside from being a funny movie, I also find it to be a very beautiful movie. A story about how you can never really change who you are, and that being true who you are is a gift to the world, all ignorance and stereotypes aside. The way this film expresses love is also first rate.
