		<description><![CDATA[I loved loved loved &#039;Pitch Perfect&#039; and Rebel Wilson was *awesomely* funny (and I find this exceptional because there is so much that is meant to be comic that I just don&#039;t find funny -- and therein lies my fear that I have no sense of humour...) And yes, in particular, I loved that she was funny without it being about her being fat or about that at all most of the time! 

Also, on the subject of &#039;Pitch Perfect&#039; is, I didn&#039;t realise that hearing a female acapella singing group sing &#039;No Diggity&#039; would add a level of completeness to my experience of life, but somehow, this is true - I found it intensely subversive in the listening, I might be alone in this.

I recently did a &#039;Step Up&#039; marathon, and confirmed my thinking that, unlike most movie franchises, this is one that seems to keep improving and getting better - not necessarily plot wise, but the quality of what I&#039;m there to enjoy - amazing dancing, context for it and some break out creativity, and it&#039;s really just kept getting better. Also, Moose is just fantastic as a recurring character. Plus, I love that I can see dancers I&#039;ve loved from SYTYCD having careers in movies dancing in these movies. &#039;Step Up 5&#039; is my favourite yet - however simplistic and trope-ish the storyline is. I acknowledge that, but such incredible dance! 

I&#039;ve been saturating myself in the female voice recently - it hasn&#039;t been deliberate really, quite accidental and I didn&#039;t realise till just now how thorough it has been, movies, television, books... even news and social media. That thing you&#039;re appreciating with female leads and their male partners loving them for who they are and exploring that? I&#039;m right there with you.]]></description>
