idek, ideas about meta?
I have signed up for month_of_meta/
month_of_meta in May! I've said that I'll be writing about non-typical gender roles in Renaissance Pictures productions/Sam Raimi-related media. Which I will! Cause then I can talk about Evil Dead and how it broke with tradition (and how it changed the horror genre), Hercules the Legendary Journeys and Xena Warrior Princess and alllll the subverted gender rules, Spiderman 3 and why dancing and strutting Peter Parker is seriously off-putting, and why Oz: The Great Powerful (despite being beautiful, and having a good number of funny bits) was an unsuccessful story and didn't need to be told. wow. sounds like a lot when I put it that way
If anyone wants to recommend some Legend of the Seeker episodes that deal with men vs women, in really nontraditional roles, I really appreciate it! I can make some assumptions & sweeping generalizations about what I've heard, but I'd rather watch some eps and have some specific examples.
Other topics I considered (and, ya know, still want to do):
Peter Jackson's brilliant cinemagraphic choices (focus on Hobbit/LOTR). Which would include talk about the kites! I ♥ the kites in the intro of The Hobbit!
Levels of attachment, disconnect, and piracy/plagiarism definitions in fandom. I've been thinking about it for awhile, and the recent kerfuffle in the Cap/IronMan fandom made me think about it even more. Why is pirating tv/film/music/manga/comics an accepted practice in fan circles, but then communities like stop-plagiarism exist to protect works of fannish authors, artists and other creative people. Why is plagiarism uncool, yet piracy accepted (generalization, I KNOW)? How are the two terms defined? Why don't we use the same term for the practice of taking what isn't yours and redistributing it? Is it because we can connect to fannish producers on a personal level that we can't connect to large industries? THIS GIVES ME THINKY THOUGHTS AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I STAND ON THE ISSUE, OKAY?!?!
One from last year's prompt list:
rhivolution suggested How [YOUR FANDOM HERE] depicts food and/or food production. EPIC, AWESOME PROMPT. I could talk about the fandom-produced Sentinel cookbook(s?)! And Not_You's recent use of food in displaying the concept of home in Scenes from a Marriage. Actually, food in general, espcially Jewish food culture, in XMFC fanworks could be cool. And the dearth of cooking/food related fics in the Hobbit fandom (except for Dwalin's cookies. And reworkings of the Dinner Party). UGH. and if I ever find that thundercats food porn that I read at an impressionable age...
