Reese Witherspoon is a good actor.

November 15, 2014 by Robyn Robotron 2 Comments

As an extra for the movie version of this book, I was in a scene in a post office where Strayed had been expecting a package and it wasn’t there.  My off camera position to wait for the next take happened to be exactly where Witherspoon walked to when she made her exit.  She seemed so angry, it was frightening to have her coming right towards me.  She knows what she’s doing, that’s for sure.

Feminism ruins everything, but not in the way you might think.

You know how when you’re young and you don’t realize how problematic some things are, but then you learn better and cringe when you reread a comic you once thought was super awesome?  It’s like that.

It’s the return of Hope for Fables fans, literally and figuratively.

Worst. Review. Ever.

November 11, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

I waited too long to write a decent review for a book this ambitious.  It really sucks, but the book doesn’t.

Romeo and Juliet with zombies, oh my!

You can thank Nicholas Hoult and his pretty face for this review, which doesn’t have much to do with the Shakespeare inspiration and more to do with the differences between the book and the movie.

Let’s stop telling girls to “be nice”; that’s what makes them into Mean Girls.

I know, it sounds counter-intuitive, but it’s true.  It turns them into one of the more difficult types of bully to deal with, a silent one.
