St Trinian's was on TV this evening. And you know what? It's the anti-Twilight.

In a nutshell it's a heist movie starring a bunch of school girls dressed like Britney Spears in '...Baby One More Time' - yet it passes the Bechdel Test without a flicker of its smugly raised (and perfectly pencilled) eyebrow. As a matter of fact, the male of the species is seen mostly as a means to an end, easily felled by a little deviousness (men get silly around pretty girls... *insert teenage girl eyeroll*) and then left behind when no longer useful. A sparklepire (especially one as earnest and straight-laced as Edward) would be laughed out of the room. Although they might undress him first if he was pretty... And maybe con him out of some money too.

Oh, and it has Rupert Everett as the Headmistress. It's worth watching just for that. *g*
