America the Beautiful is a documentary about the less pleasant aspects of the pursuit of beauty and cosmetic surgery.
The film opens in New York this Friday and in Los Angeles later in August.
Roger Ebert says, The film is pulsing with barely suppressed rage, and by the end, I shared it. It’s about a culture “saturated with the perfect,” in which women are taught to seek an impossible physical ideal, and men to worship it.
The Fat Princess video game put out by Sony is creating lots of controversy. See all the comments at Feministing.com.
BTW, one of the comments made an interesting observation about the logo for Feministing.com. For a site focused on flagging the sexist stereotypical images of women, it has a pretty odd logo.
