Kim accidentally watches a movie about lesbians, again
Without properly reading the back cover, I rented Julie Johnson, a movie about a working-class woman who throws out the husband who doesn't believe in her, and finds a new career and true love. Oh, and she also realizes she's a lesbian. Actually I have nothing against movies about lesbians, and have been known to rent them on purpose (Kissing Jessica Stein was really good, Saving Face was ok). But lately I keep renting them by accident, and getting home and saying, "oh man, girls kissing. again!"
Anyway with that vaguely homophobic diatribe over, this movie was pretty good. I can't resist a movie about a woman who throws off her old life and goes after her dreams. In Julie's case, it's a career in science. Movies about that make me realize what I've gained by not taking a more traditional direction. Freedom is lonely, but worth it.
