clipper's remarks: Now, I don't know about you, but I'm expecting to have an immaculate conception in my next 28 day cycle...

There has been talk that this government based "preconception care" isn't even free.

New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves -- and to be treated by the health care system -- as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.

A happy version of The Bell Jar?

clipper's remarks: Amazing. Another example of how mainstream cinematic culture is taking when of the best postmodern novels and making it "friendly for everyone." God forbid that they respect the novel in its honest, raw form. Is it because they fear audiences won't understand Esther's emotional pain or that making a movie about the mentally ill just isn't the "cute" thing to do?

Julia Stiles has signed up to play Esther Greenwood in an adaptation of Sylvia Plath's classic 1963 novel The Bell Jar.

"Esther Greenwood has a strong outlook on life, and we're really looking to bring out the humor in the character. We don't want to do a depressing descent into the world of suicide." Wow. You might want to back up and read that again. This is a book about a woman (loosely based on Plath herself) whose struggle with clinical depression is so overwhelming that it drives her to madness and leads her to be subjected to gruesome, primitive shock therapy treatments. Throughout the course of the book, she attempts suicide several times. And they're going to turn it into, what, Mrs. Doubtfire?
