V.C.'s Pieces VC's Pieces

Welcome to our live watch of the 2000 lycanthropic coming of age tale "Ginger Snaps"! Ginger is not yet a girl, not quite a human and her possibly bewigged sister Bea has to clean up Ginger's literal and figurative messes. And menses. This flick as it all: practical effects, 25 year old teens, doobers, angst, and a very supportive Canadian mom. Never has the story girlhood on the precipice of becoming a woman been so accurately depicted!

Hey y'all! Let's go down to the farm! It's a magically dismal place where everything is wrong, and not JUST for the same ol' reasons. Sure, there's stuff far too sexual for a young girl, wacky friends, contrived scenarios, an old man trying to use hip language, family secrets, and uncomfiness. BUT ALSO a seemingly endless supply of details factually inaccurate from the prior book! You know it, you love (?) it, no rules, just Nieder-things!

It's time. I'm sorry. This is a Bad Book that gives Bad feels and now we gotta talk about it. If you know or have heard of this one, don't worry. We did not discuss the parts that gave us the ick. And for all the books that this mans has written, this is the one you shouldns't read the most. A 7 year old gets the puberty! Nider-NoNo!

And our story rolls fatly along! April is still at the rotted winery with her rotten self image. But rest assured, she unlocks her inner rice queen for some fumbling sexies! We also meet Motha Rhona and SKEETER. This one is both predictable and yet somehow unpredictable. Pinocchio never saved so many girls!

Remember when we all wished for a well rounded main character who wasn't physical perfection? Just to get a little variety? Well, we shouldns't have done that. April Taylor! She's only one note and that note is FAT seasoned with gay panic. Hey, it was the early aughts. Everyone was thinking about being gay and had nose-or-bellybutton rings. So, this was wild/dumb and we are dumber for having read it. But it sure was foolishly fun to scream about. PS: please submit your thought on the Destiny Question.

Ya'll need to get your peepers on this mess so you can fully appreciate the lack of aging effects on DON, Jim-Jam, and Whillip. It truly is atrocious. Plus, you have young (old?) Shristie acting like a brick wall. Supporting characters include Wish.com Neve Campbell, Harley Windham, Hamster Dance, and Warren!
