The Stepford Wives, 2004
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler, Matthew Broderick, Glenn Close, Christopher Walken, Faith Hill
Directed By: Frank Oz
Nicole Kidman plays Joanna Eberhart, a television producer who brought her network, EBN, to the top over the past five years. After introducing two new reality shows to the network affiliates at a large, awards show-like meeting, one of the lesser off contestants crashes the meeting, trying to kill Joanna. After the ordeal, the network decides that it finds Joanna to be too much of a liability, so they let her go. She takes it suprisingly well, by having a nervous breakdown in the elevator. After shock therapy, she and her husband, Walter Kresby (Broderick) decide to start all over in Stepford, Connecticut.
This gated town is the spitting image of the 1950s American Dream. The family is greeted by Claire Wellington (Close), matron of Stepford. The house is computer controlled, with touch-screen displays. It even comes with a robot dog. This is all too much for Joanna, who finds the only other bit of sanity in author Bobbie Markowitz (Middler) and Roger Bannister (Roger Bart), the only other gay man in Stepford. Even after Jo tries to conform to the Stepford ways, everything is too weird for her. When Roger goes from Mister Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, to running for the Senate. Then, Bobbie, the messy, angry womens lib author, becomes the mother, wife and house keeper she never wanted to be. Joanna does some research on the web, and finds out that all of the women used to be high up bitch-type CEOs like herself. Before she can get out though, it becomes Joanna's turn to find out the secret of Stepford...
Rating: I give this movie a 9/10. It was very entertaining, funny, and contained the same political message the original tried to get out. The one thing I didn't like was that I felt it was too short.
Favorite Quotes:
Mike (Christopher Walken): I sued to work at Microsoft.
Jo(looking at the other men): And where did you work?
Man1: NASA.
Man2: (something - I don't remember)
Man3: AOL
Jo: So that's why the women are so slow?
Bobbie: Oh, I can take all thos pine cones and shape them into 15 foot long letters that spell out "BIG JEW" on my snow-covered lawn!

I should have seen it coming. Before the opening theme, Buffy had a dream where Chloe was huddled against a wall, crying. Buffy said, "Chloe, right?" Then, out of nowhere, the first Slayer tackles her. The primal Slayer said, "It's not enough." That was an omen, like normal. The next day, Buffy brought Principal Wood to the Summers residence. Kennedy, one of the strongest potentials, was training the others in boot camp stile, but with yoga and Martial Arts. She was being very rough, calling everyone "maggot," which upset more than one of the girls. Chloe had been off in her counting for the yoga arts thing, and seemed down when Kennedy called her "Maggot" again. It didn't help when Kennedy commented on how she "loved" the job.
Later that night, Buffy was checking on everyone (Willow had recently gone through being turned into the man she'd killed the previous season and back.) When she opened the door, she saw Chloe, in her pajamas, hanging from the ceiling by her bed sheets, grey and cold. All of the housemates huddled around the door, and the First Evil popped into the room, in Chloe’s form. The First, I assumed, had taken the form of some abusive relative, and coaxed her into hanging herself. The First even had the nerve to say goodbye with a sneer, "TTFN!" Chloe’s favorite movie was "Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger (who I'd assume is her favorite character) would say part with that saying. I don't know why, but, as I watched, and even as I type this up, I'm in tears.
Why is it that we sometimes become emotionally attached to characters in a fictional media? Why is it that when Rachel had her baby on "Friends" that we were there for her all of the way, but when our grandmother dies, no one really cares. I mean, Chloe was only on for less than an episode, and yet I felt that she'd been wronged.
It's not the first time. The first time, for me, was when Mufasa fell off of the cliff in The Lion King. That had me crying in the movie theatre. The most recent, before Chloe, was Buffy's death about two seasons earlier. Listening to her tell Dawn, her sister only due to the intervention of some monks, to take care of her friends in her absense, made things, for some reason, real.
What is it with our attachment to characters portrayed by actors? Yes, the character died, but (in most cases) the actor is alive. I makes me worried about what our society is becoming. I'm worried that we'll, for the most part, be so attached to the lives of a character on a tiny screen, that we forget to live our own lives.
And all of this was caused by seeing the swinging body of a potential Slayer.
...
I need to write some fanfiction, dammit.
