Zoe ,'The Train Job'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
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.
Really?
That's too bad because I was happy that we'd get to see Radagast the Brown .
I had forgotten about Veruca. That's right. Nina seems to fall into the category of "victim this bad thing happened to" which is less metaphorically interesting to me. (This is where I once again bemoan that I can't reference Buffy to Todd, as he hasn't seen it. It is particularly frustrating as the show in question is so clearly from a post-Buffy Universe, and a lot of my ability to feel the rhythm of the plots and have a good idea of where they're going comes from that.)
I have all these thoughts on views of the feminine Id and cultural takes on sexuality vs. violence as primal urges that quickly turn into babble.
Now I'm really curious to know which show you are talking about DebetEsse. I'd be happy to have that discussion!
