Article by Tammy Oler, appeared in issue Fun & Games; published in 2005; filed under Social commentary; tagged competition, riot grrrl, roller derby, sexualizing, sports, violence.

Romantic Comedies: Still Not That Into You

The Female Gaze blog post by Tammy Oler, December 1, 2008 - 7:46pm; tagged 27 Dresses, film, Gerard Butler, he's just not that into you, Katherine Heigl, movies, rom-com, romantic comedy, the ugly truth.
Greetings, everyone! My name is Tammy Oler, and I've been a contributor to Bitch for about five years. I'm thrilled to be joining the blogging team here. With "The Female Gaze," I'll be focusing a feminist eye on what's new and making news in film, including new releases, trends and industry buzz.

There's already a bunch of romantic comedies slated for release early in 2009. I'd like to kick off this blog by taking a look at trailers for two of them that hit the Web over the Thanksgiving holiday.
