I was going to catch it on DVD later, but since Tony Kushner wrote it I may have to go to the theatre.
Okay, let's say that men are sexualized in this industry too (they're not, but let's do with it). If we're talking about sexism you have to look at it within a larger context. Are male characters going to have their agency taken away from them time and time again? No. Are male readers lacking for representation in an industry that has been repeatedly hostile to them? No.
I'm fine with some female characters being sexy. I'm not okay with every female character being set dressing.
Also everything Dorkman has said. Way to be on top of things, bro.
So I saw this with my film class (Women and Pop Culture) and let me tell you that sitting next to your professor/a film scholar who knows nothing about the franchise is great.
And the deviation/only good sequence was honestly kind of a thrilling experience. Everyone was screaming and I would be lying if I said I didn't get sucked into it.
Just saw Attack the Block with my hallmates. Currently too impressed to form sentences.
I'm looking back at the crackdown Warner Brothers did on Harry Potter fansites when they first acquired HP. They issued hundreds of C&Ds, but eventually backed down. I believe that the only real effects felt was the fact that you can now only sell merch with certain words ("Muggle", "Potter", etc.) at live events, not online. The outcome of the later WB v RDR Books case (where a print version of a HP encyclopedia site was published) was very different.
Do y'all think anyone in the community would push back against the monster that is Disney?
Seriously, guys: Joss is a BIT busy at the moment. I think we can rule his involvement out.
Watching the season premiere in one of my school's largest lecture game. Very excited.
Still kind of hard to believe he's gone. Such a great man.
Oh, Trey, you're so out of touch! On Tumblr, you tag your posts (like a hash tag on Twitter). People track tags for things they're interested in, like shows or characters or people.
I only have a few hundred followers, but I'd be happy to start promoting the project there. Anyone else have a blog and interest in helping?
Have you guys tried to hit up the Tumblr community yet? Putting a promo image and the link into the SW tracked tags may help bring in some more cash.
