Interesting article. I haven’t read Aristotle in a long time, but it’s good to know he’s relevant outside a college classroom.

Great article about a great show. People might think South Park is just downright crass, but it’s actually way more clever than we realize. Parker and Stone will satirize anything and anybody, while making us laugh in the process.

I can’t imagine attaching a picture of myself to my resume. I’d much rather be judged on my accomplishments and whether or not I’m a decent person, but we judge people first on how they look and draw our own conclusions based on that.

Tarantino has certainly made a name for himself as a filmmaker. Whenever you hear about “that Tarantino film,” you know what to expect. I also think the soundtracks he uses for his films are great. The songs fit so well with what’s happening in the scene and set the tone.

Great article! Feminism is certainly about choice, living the life you want and making the choices you want without trying to fit into anyone’s standard of gender, sex, race, class etc. Jane definitely embodies that in her choice to marry Rochester. Roxanne Gay sums up in the best way that we’re not going to every neatly fit into categories and that we shouldn’t try to.

Very interesting article! The line between art and pornography is certainly blurry, even if some people may suggest they’ll “known porn when they see it.” It is interesting that Mann was attacked for taking pictures of her own children, when there are people out there who photograph children for their own perverted purposes. There are a lot of issues that play out on the image of naked body, particularly a child’s body, and perhaps it is when these issues collide that there is controversy.

Interesting list! I’ll have to re-watch Inception now, and I never knew a stuntman was killed during the filming of The Dark Knight.

Great piece! I enjoyed the parallels you draw between “Howl” and punk rock, the latter a subject I don’t know too much about. Thanks for this article!
