So I think I've officially gotten old ( Read more... )

Seemingly to work in synergy with myself, AV Club posted a new editorial today about the episode "Racial Sensitivity" from the little watched show Better Off Ted. It's a great piece and it voices some of my suspicions about why American audiences and television producers have been white washing their content more and more. The part about moral ( Read more... )

So I don't think I've been shy about my dislike for Cersei and Katelyn of George RR Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire. I do however love opposing opinions and I gladly listen to them and suck them up. Slurp slurp! So the lovely and wonderful Katherine Beaton linked this trio of videos made in defense of Cersei Lannister, Katelyn ( Read more... )

Do you know what I love more than Community? Nothing. Not even my FAMILY!

Ok. So that's not true.

But I was reading a roundtable done by the women of Community including the 3 principle actresses and writer Megan Ganz and I was overwhelmed with love for this show. Why is this world so cruel and unjust that something as fantastic as this show ( Read more... )

So I didn't watch the Oscars. Because I don't have cable anymore. But do you know what I think it's funny and quite telling? So recently a expose came out about the demographics of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Surprising no one it turns out from the data collected the Academy appears to be overwhelmingly white, male, and old. I ( Read more... )
