Random Thoughts (Tripping balls)


Random Thoughts
~Professor gets caught watching porn via a projector: In the Netherlands, a professor was teaching class and ended his class with a streaming video of hardcore porn being played on the front screen for everyone to. Uh, I love porn like the rest of the dudes, but there is a place and time of it. You don't need to watch it while teaching a lecture. It looks like he lost his job, but a porn site is offering him a special membership. No word if he's taken them up on their offer.
~Mass Effect universe: I want to make up a list of all of my favorite characters from that series, but I just have to find the time for it.
Wrex in effect!:  Come on, you know this guy is going to be on my list. 

Catwoman for the win!
~Oscars: I haven't even bothered to see who won what. Like the Super Bowl, I have no interest in the proceedings or the group or persons that won. I only like the pop cultural byproducts that come out of the events such as the ads and everyone attacking Seth MacFarlane's hosting duties. However, I heard that Anne Hathaways' nipples brought out an amazing performance. Wow. I guess someone forgot the under-tape.
~Okay, The Onion, you may have gone a bit too far ( Quvenzhané Wallis  ): I am all about calling people names and making fun of them, but calling a little 9 year old girl the c-word is a bit much. You are well within your right to say it via Twitter (sigh), but you all should have probably came up with something more clever to say than the easy “C-Word”. I love The Onion and I'd loved to write for them, but for this instant they went too far. Now, they could make a joke out of this incident and bring in Wallis in it somehow, that would be a gesture of good will and viral attention.
~Carrie Fisher Is in Trouble?: Fisher, whom has had a long history of trouble, is in the hospital for bipolar disorder. You have to check out the troubling video of her “tripping balls” on a cruise ship. It isn't easy to watch. Will this cause her not to be in the New Star Wars movie? Side Note: What is interesting about Fisher is that she was known as being a good script doctor for movies. Basically, studios would hire her to punch up scripts. Rumor has it she repaired Episode 1. By the way, go back in watch the later scenes of Empire Strikes Back and see how f'ed she was during those scenes.

  1. There is a feminist film critic who I read regularly who wrote an effective counterargument about that infamous tweet.

  2. As a white male, apparently I was also unaware of the struggle that black women face... something I've been made aware of from a later post on that same blog.

  3. That was a great post and insightful, I kind of like her stance, but disagree with her attack on Seth, but she present her point extremely well.

    I can't seem to find the comment.
