When a beautiful actress is cast in a movie, executives rack their brains to find some kind of flaw in the character she plays that will still allow her to be palatable. She can’t be overweight or not perfect-looking, because who would pay to see that? A female who is not one hundred per cent perfect-looking in every way? You might as well film a dead squid decaying on a beach somewhere for two hours. So they make her a Klutz. The hundred-per-cent-perfect-looking female is perfect in every way except that she constantly bonks her head on things. She trips and falls and spills soup on her affable date (Josh Lucas. Is that his name? I know it’s two first names. Josh George? Brad Mike? Fred Tom? Yes, it’s Fred Tom). The Klutz clangs into stop signs while riding her bike and knocks over giant displays of fine china in department stores. Despite being five feet nine and weighing a hundred and ten pounds, she is basically like a drunk buffalo who has never been a part of human society. But Fred Tom loves her anyway.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Prime Minister of Australia kicking ass and taking names (mostly Tony Abbott’s). [x]

I don’t think I will ever get over this.

Foot

Let. Him. HAVE IT.

She was total and complete. She left NO STONE unturned. She read him for FILTH! She read his past, present, and future. She dismantled him and put that ass right back together in the correct order.

She DID that!


Casting Practices in Hollywood

My first foray into infographics. I think this is an important, but sadly overlooked, subject. Feel free to spread around, but please don’t remove the source.



When a film does focus on someone in a subordinate group, it gets little attention unless, like The Color Purple (1985), it has a powerful white heterosexual male such as Steven Spielberg behind it. Anything less than that - no matter how good it is - has little chance of drawing much attention, much less winning an Academy Award. Even The Color Purple, which was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, didn’t win a single one, losing to Out of Africa.

The handful of films that do focus on people in subordinate groups are likely to be tagged (and devalued) as ‘women’s films’ (‘chick flicks’) or ‘Black films’ or ‘gay films’ or ‘lesbian films’, even though all the rest ar never called ‘men’s films’ or ‘white films’ or ‘heterosexual films’. In a society identified with dominant groups, such films are supposedly about everyone, or at least everyone who counts.

lokisflyting: This isn’t rape. This is just sexual assault. And it’s not right, even if in this case it’s hot because it’s just actors and a guilty pleasure sexual fantasy scene. But it’s still sexist and horrible and I feel very bad for posting it. Very bod. Very, very boobs. sooooo….i’m just gonna let this simmer cause i dont have time to give this my undivided attention right now

happens like this every. single. time.
  • Ignorant Factions of the Fandom: this is an opening racist/homophobic/sexist statement.
  • Me: this is a statement explaining why ur opening statement is racist/homophobic/sexist
  • IFOTF: this is a re-worded racist/homophobic/sexist explanation that derails from ur statement and says ur over reacting/being over sensitive/projecting ur "internal issues"--- while secretly back peddling.
  • Me: this is a statement pointing out that ur derailing and therefore refusing to acknowledge the wrongness of ur initial statement.
  • IFOTF: this is a statement that dismisses ur claims and files it all under "pressed" or "taking a work of fiction too seriously."
  • Co-signers: this is a supportive statement expressed by "liking" or "reblogging" the post while pondering why everyone always gets offended about everything.
  • IFOTF: this is a premature victory statement.
  • Me: this is a question asking u to seriously think about what ur saying before proceeding.
  • IFOTF: this is an answer that doubles up to show how narrow-minded i am while i claim to not give a damn about what u think.
  • Me: this is a statement schooling to fuck out of ur dumb ass.
  • IFOTF: this is a statement crying foul and justifying the initial racist/homophobic/sexist comment by filing it under an "opinion" or "joke" that if u don't understand then u're obviously an idiot.
  • Me: this is a statement inviting u to sit the fuck down and read a book before giving ur ignorance a platform on the internet and tagging it for attention and then complaining about the responses that u knew u were going to get when u also tagged ur initial statement with "just kidding."
  • IFOTF: ....
  • Me: this is a closing victory statement.


watermeloncholy: tumblrofthrones: got-confessions: “It amazes me that with all the talk about strong female characters no one mentions Asha. She’s so amazing!” People mention her. Constantly. But she wasn’t in the first season, so WHY would people new to ASOIAF be mentioning her? Not only that, but in terms of “strong female characters” (ugh that phrase), I think people tend of to think of characters like Asha and Arya, before they ever think of characters like Sansa, for example. Because they’re the easiest to like and the hardest to sexualize. You don’t see people doing NEARLY as many OTPs with Asha and Arya. Sansa gets paired with everyone under the sun which is SO disrespectful to her character development, IMO. I can understand it (kinda) for the people who are only familiar with the show and the first book but not for people who have read the entire series. It’s ridiculous, especially given everything GRRM has said about his writing of female characters. But there will always be respect in the fandom for women who brandish swords and chop off heads. They forget that some female characters can still deliver hard blows in silks and jewels—-Cersei, Dany, Cat, and Margaery being solid examples of that.
