'Twas a Friday afternoon.
And as 'tis The Stinkys wont
Stupid movie, 'twas the aim.
And, for The Stinkys, the extraordinary idiocy of Stick It
proved a perfect piece of piffle.

So. What does StinkyLulu kinda sorta totally love about Stick It?
The lead character, Haley.
Possibly the coolest babydyke on screen in a long time, if not ever...
See Haley, played by Missy Peregrym, is possibly the the purest babydyke heroine yet. She's got it all. She passes for a boy through the whole first sequence. She's got the sexiness of tomboy tough -- she's both powerfully athletic and astonishingly pretty. She's annoyed by girlygirls of any age & tends to hang with guys. She's pissed at the conventions of female performance that limit what she and her friends can really accomplish.
But most important: Haley's got no heteromance to muddy the fantasy pleasure pool. (See Muddy Heteromance Exhibit #1 & #2). StinkyLulu simply can't think of a supersexytomboy in a mainstream movie -- even in the golden era of Jodie Foster & Kristy MacNichol -- where some lame boyfriend didn't show up as a prop for the alibi of hetero-probability. And it's not like there's any shortage of cute boys in the cast (See Stick It Cute Boy Exhibits#1 & #2). There's not even the homopanic of a mom who wants her jock daughter to wear a dress (GirlJock with Homopanicking Mom Exhibit #1).
No, Haley's got something special happening.
So, lovely reader, keep your heart open for this dumb little movie. It may do some important work. And if you know/love a kid who may be on their way to a fabulously queer future, be sure they've got a ticket...
