That gives me fodder for a new post. :) I'll put together some of my recent favs and post them in the next few days.Natalie C Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590029947267775660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300252840095065096.post-59744966217101342852012-07-05T08:37:46.393-05:002012-07-05T08:37:46.393-05:00I loved this post!

I agree - girls with power and purpose (besides strictly falling in love or finding the 'right' person) are the best sort of heroines. <br /><br />On another, completely side random note, do you have any posts with your music recommendations? The music you do have listed is absolutely amazing and I was hoping you had more! :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614234725264392100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300252840095065096.post-59286952977288463742012-07-03T18:13:40.911-05:002012-07-03T18:13:40.911-05:00I suppose the ending was pretty violent, but it di...I suppose the ending was pretty violent, but it didn't make me uncomfortable in the way it did you. I was worried that Merida wouldn't get to her mom in time to undo the spell and I freaking LOVED the moment she blocked her father's sword. My heart leapt! Also, they set the bear-hunting up so well that I was anticipating that moment as soon as mom turned into a bear. TENSION.<br /><br />But, blarg, sorry it didn't play well for you!Natalie C Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590029947267775660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300252840095065096.post-10777196784175912992012-07-03T18:10:23.877-05:002012-07-03T18:10:23.877-05:00I hope you love it as much as your daughter!

I'm becoming friends with blogger, though.

I...I still need to see Snow White and the Huntsman. I totally agree with you--girls and swords equals awesome and I'm a total sucker for warrior girls--Buffy FTW. But I didn't love Brave. I mostly liked it. *spoiler* The slapstick stuff with her mom as a bear was too much for me. And I was SO incredibly uncomfortable with the violence at the end--Merida's dad actually fighting her mom and even pushing Merida out of the way and then when all the men had her tied up--I knew the spell was going to wear off soon and all I could think was they essentially have a naked woman tied up by 50 men. The whole sequence had me squirming in my seat and not in a good way. I really wish Pixar had gone with different images there--but otherwise, yes... We need more movies like this.Frankie Diane Mallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066659801542129040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300252840095065096.post-5221220220898384852012-07-03T17:38:51.684-05:002012-07-03T17:38:51.684-05:00My 10 year old daughter loved Brave.

I'm hoping to see SW & the Huntsman at the movies, but my life is so hectic that I may have to wait for a midnight screening at home :). It's difficult getting traffic to two blogs. Blogger worked better for me & that's why I closed LJ.Simon Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384384882217609761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300252840095065096.post-90915059676474101742012-07-03T15:04:17.349-05:002012-07-03T15:04:17.349-05:00I hope you both enjoy it!

Girls with swords rock! And I loved both of these movies as well. Even if both had their faults, both movies really showed the power of these leading females and how they grew into that power.
