AOL's Salute to TV's Butt-Kicking Women
I completely forgot that March was National Women's Month. Well, since I totally missed the ball on that one, here's a video of some of the most butt-kicking women in TV history. It covers everything from I Love Lucy, Buffy, Alias, and soap operas aplenty. Watch the video after the break!

Danny Elfman and "Nighmare" in 4D come to El Capitan - the box sets they mention are definitely getting added to my Christmas wish list!

The Expendables vs. Eat. Pray. Love.
This trailer just makes me want to see Eat. Pray. Love. Nearly every major summer movie is male-oriented and they are trying to make men feel like they've been ignored at the movies lately. Are you kidding me? What do you consider every superhero movie, Transformers, Die Hards, Robin Hood, The A-Team, Clash of the Titans, The Losers, The Last Airbender, Salt, Resident Evils (and the list goes on and on and on), they certainly aren't meant for the female crowd.
I know it's not meant to be taken seriously, it's not even an official trailer, but it still bothers me. I'm probably in the minority on this, but it makes me want to see Eat. Pray. Love. to spite it.

The rise of TV's 'Anti-Mom'
Do You Suffer from Sexsomnia? You're not alone.
Fox Sells 80% of Super Bowl - It's Only June, but Marketer Interest Is Spurring Unusual Ad-Sales Pace for Big Game.

Food Trucks & Other Mobile Eateries that Twitter - comprehensive list of all the LA gourmet food trucks.
TV Viewers Watch Different Shows Online
'Glee' sings to a forgotten generation - Journey, Young MC and Cyndi Lauper. The show grooves to the '80s while turning stereotypes on their head. Finally, the music of tail-end boomers is heard.
Glee Shows Dangerous Signs of Ryan Murphy Syndrome - I've been worried since the back 9 started to falter.

"Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black" - Tim Wise
Fang TV: 'Vampire Diaries' Showrunners Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec
Twitter Soars in Social Mainstream
15 TV Show Remakes That Were Utter Disasters - I agree with everything on this list except for the last one. While V started off weak, since it's hiatus it's been must-see TV.
Hawaii filming of 'Lost' spent $228M locally over 4 years
Few Broadcast Primetime Shows Draw More Men Than Women - interesting look at which shows skew more female. I know there are more women than men in the states, but there seem to be a lot more female viewers. I guess video games take precedence for men.

Women in Movies
I belive this problem stems back to the problems behind the scenes. If there were more women involved in every step of this process, then we would see a shift. Until that happens though, I think we're store for more of the same.

Linkulous: Quarterlife Crisis, Syfy Wrestles, Tina Fey and more!
Welcome to Your Quarterlife Crisis - All my recently graduated friends should read this.
Syfy bodyslams brand, picks up WWE's Friday Night Smackdown - while this move may make sense viewer wise, it's the strangest programming news I've heard in a while. Wrestling is not science fiction, plus it requires Syfy to move their tried and tested Friday night programming to accommodate it. Syfy is known for its Friday nights, having previously hosted Stargate, BSG, and now Caprica.
Do You Have an Abusive Relationship with Pop Culture?
The Tina Fey Backlash - she's taking flack for some of her SNL sketches.
Tina Fey is a master at playing a real mess - counter point.
Right-Wing Hysteria Watch: Is "Glee" part of Hollywood's leftist propaganda machine?

Barbie Gets Her Geek On
I missed the viral campaigning for this, probably because I don't focus on computer engineering/technician blogs in my time online, but I'm so glad to see Barbie becoming a more modern woman. I remember playing with Barbie as a little girl. I would cut her hair and have her be a mom or a teacher, very traditionally female roles. While she's just a toy, this is still a step forward in feminism and getting young girls into male dominated professions like computer science jobs.
For more information about the vote and Barbie's previous professions, read the original Wall Street Journal article.
