Another lawyer! I'm very jealous of your work at AFL-CIO, I work in
labour law too, though here in Canada, just accepted a position doing
grievance arbitration with OPSEU (Ontario Public Service Employee's
Union).
Anyways, I saw a trailer for Alien 4 which looked good, and I LOVE that
signourney weaver but have to say I'm skeptical about two things: how do
they bring her back to life and why is winona ryder in it?
Tank Girl is absolutely fantastic, anyone who hasn't seen it definitely
should, it is very fierce young feminist and fabulous fun. Not only one
but two terrific female heroes, tank and jet girl, out to save the young
girl who is anything but helpless herself.
