Misogyny in Venue • My Bloody Valentine dir Patrick Lussier • “gratuitous gore and nudity…..pleasingly unpleasant….Special mention should be made of the game Betsy Rue, who remains completely naked throughout her sub plot. This is so enjoyable that only afterwards does one realize it was entirely superfluous”
Misogyny in Venue • I know how many runs you scored last night dir Stacey Edmonds and Doug Turner • despite poor reviews “you may be persuaded to give this a go if we tell you that it features a cameo by Miss Nude Australia, who inevitably gets an extended shower sequence”
Misogyny in Venue An Education dir Lone Scherfig Based on Lynn Barber’s memoirs gets a hostile review in Venue. Barber is “Pretty insufferable in a snotty, swotty, superior, alpha female, head girl kinda way”
