Blog Update: Lady's Choice

In which I detail upcoming changes to Filmquisition.

This latest change to the blog has been in the works for a while now, and is entirely Becky's brain-child.  Since she's out of school right now - and struggling to find things to occupy her time with - and since this blog is a bit singular in focus, she proposed a new article series: Lady's Choice.  Unlike the rest of the articles on Filmquisition, though, this one would come from a somewhat novel perspective: Becky's.
Becky's been no stranger to Filmquisition.  She's already offered her own divergent opinions on my articles (albeit using me as a conduit) for some time now.  That's the whole point of Counterpoint!  The only difference now is that she's taking a more direct approach: sharing her opinion in her own words, free from the limitations of my understanding.

The hope is to get between one or two of these up every week (depending on Becky's schedule and predilections).  One should always come in at the end of the week, with the additional possibility of another one coming in at the beginning of the following week.  The only input that I'll have to her articles is as a glorified spell-checker.
Unlike Counterpoint, however, these articles aren't going to be reactionary.  They are going to be completely independent of what I'm writing, focusing on whatever topic grinds her gears enough to write about.  This could be anything from movies to TV to gaming.  Some might be reviews while others are editorials.  The choice is hers.

Tangential to this, you might see me starting to write a few Counterpoints based on some of her Lady's Choice topics.  I certainly doubt that I'll do much agreeing with her, so it's pretty rife with editorial possibilities.
So what articles would you like to see Becky write for Filmquisition?  Is there anything in particular that could use a woman's perspective around here?  Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
