Why "Grease" Teaches Horrible Life Lessons

Ok, I'm going to start by saying that I'm not going to bring up the whole argument that the film basically ends with Sandy changing who she is to please a man, considering that it has been brought up countless times before (I do agree with this argument, but it's in no way my idea).

However, besides the borderline mysogynistic ending, Grease has many other parts that have always bothered me. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the movie, but there are certian pretty bad lessons it teaches:

Advice for first-year Students

So, with my first year of school at Brock more than half way done, I figured I would write out some things that I wish I knew when I started going to Brock, and that I think other first years should know. Although I am having an absolutely amazing time at Brock now, I can't help but think that learning the following things a bit earlier than I did would've made the first few months alot better:

The Cheese is Dead

Ok, so due to a lack of reader interest, I have decided to finish my weekly Cheesy Movie of the Week segment. I will still be updating this blog every Monday (and occasionally throughout the week), so it stays regular, it will just no longer always be a Cheesy Movie of the Week, as the series is not drawing as much interest as my one-shot blogs (we have this nifty tool on blogspot called 'stats' and I can see that more people are reading non-cheesy movie posts than cheesy movie posts... basically I get to stalk you and call it research). Anyway, if anyone really, really liked the segment, shoot me a message, and I may consider re-vamping it, but for now I'm going to shoot for a wider variety of posts so it doesn't feel so formulaic, and I can keep you guys more engaged.

Cheesy Movie of the Week #7- "Saved"

Most people looking for a fun, cheesy movie would look at the movie Saved, see that it stars Mandy Moore, and immediately run away for fear of a depressing walk that they will always remember, while their friends get to see them cry for a moment (bam, two horrible references in one! You are free to forget that that sentence exists). However, Saved is awesome in that Mandy Moore actually plays the antagonist: a stuck up, "holier than thou" character, while the lead is taken by the amazing Jena Malone (Donnie Darko). Saved is awesome in that it manages to effectively parody judgemental religious people without offending Christianity itself.
