Oh, I like that law.
In somewhat related news, Todd and I watched a show that I shall not name, as I need to discuss a plot point and don't want to spoil. Anyway, there's a newly created female werewolf. He commented that she'll have to be back at least once, if only to kill her off. I said that I'd really like it if they didn't, as there aren't many takes on the female werewolf metaphor. He pointed out one (note: one) movie he has with a female werewolf, and that most of the monster movies are male-dominated. I granted that, but that, while they don't tend to be the main character, there are plenty of female vampires, for example.
So, yeah, I thought I'd bring that discussion to the group, and see if anyone had thoughts to add.
Sometimes people do seem determined to put meanings where there are none(or, like, not so deep ones) So I occasionally do think that.
Oh, I agree, but that link reminds me of an MLA conference session on Harry Potter (which naturally attracted a good number of non-professionals). During the Q & A afterwards, someone stood up and asked/proclaimed "Doesn't anyone just read for fun anymore?" and then stormed out. I am pretty anti-jargon, but, hello?, it was the MLA. That's what they do.
There is a female wolf in the Twilight series. She hasn't been seen in the movies released, but she is coming.
While they are definitely more rare than female vampires, both Buffy and Angel had female werewolves. One got to survive (at least through Not Fade Away - who knows what happened to LA afterwards, comics aside), and the other didn't (that would be Veruca).
The Howling also had a couple of significant female werewolves.
Female werewolf metaphor?
Ginger Snaps! Love 'em...all three.
The
Ginger Snaps
movies were about a female werewolf as one of the two main characters.
I saw 1, didn't know there were 3.
Spoiler tv has the Official Casting Call for
The Hobbit.
The title says that there are plot details in case you wonder about spoilers.
The second 'snaps' features the aftermath of the first. Namely, Ginger's little sister's journey. The third is a 'prequel' that covers the historical origins of Ginger's affliction.
There is something about the way all three were made that just makes me happy. They are, on the face of it, super-cheesy. But there is something deeper to get in all of them. And the snarky dialog is worth the price of admission, regardless.

Apparently OneRing.Net (can you believe they're still around? Then again, so are we) said it's false.
