Ruby Rhod is one of my favorite characters in sci-fi ever because he is Luc Besson’s vision of the hetero sex symbol of the future: a flamboyant, emotionally labile man who wears skin-tight leopard print or decks himself in roses, a man who accessorizes with big jewelry and dabbles in cosmetics. And the ladies love him. Everything about him screams “gay” according to our stereotypes, but he’s portrayed as a 100% straight sexual dynamo.

Besson is one of the few directors I’ve seen who actually recognizes that our ideas of sexuality and gender performance might have changed drastically in the future.

Gilmore Girls

This was always one of those shows I assumed I’d hate — about a bunch of women I couldn’t relate to. It does have a teenager, though, so I checked out the first couple of episodes. I was somewhat optimistic because I like Bunheads and this was similar banter-heavy fun. Also, the kid actually goes to the damn expensive school that will help her future, instead of doing the typical “oh, I can just stay where I am because my friends are here/I’m blue-collar and therefore pure of heart” routine (okay, bitter about all the times a character fights for something like that, then gives it up after it has been achieved at great inconvenience to other people, and we’re supposed to applaud their individuality and wild spirit or something).

Ep 1 — OMG bebe Padalecki kawayui~ Ep 2 — joke about looking for a guy named Moose *snigger*

Also, Alex Borstein as the grouchy harpist is entertaining. And Bunheads is sooooper similar in retrospect, although I like Kelly Bishop’s character in Bunheads a lot better.

Another series to get back to when I’m done with the thesis, I think.

fishingboatproceeds: bbc-bestbromancecompany: Nerdfighter Benedict? Or just failed Vulcan? As far as I can tell, there are eight possibilities here. (I’ve spent a fair bit of time thinking about this.) 1. Benedict Cumberbatch is a hardcore nerdfighter and when Martin Freeman threw up a gang sign, Cumberbatch was like, “I have one of those.” 2. Cumberbatch, who obviously has a relationship with Star Trek, just naturally changed the Vulcan sign (pulling in the thumbs, turning the palms inward, crossing the arms) in precisely the same way that I happened to change the Vulcan sign when I first made the nerdfighter sign in the halcyon days of 2007. 3. One of the interns on set who has gained the trust of Benedict Cumberbatch was like, “If you do your hands like this, the Internet will get really excited.” And so he did. 4. BBC, in their infinite wisdom, staged the entire photo and Cumberbatch was taught the nerdfighter sign (I MEAN LOOK AT THE PERFECTION OF HIS NERDFIGHTER SIGN! He seems so comfortable and confident in it, almost as if it is muscle memory, almost as if he has flashed it to his laptop screen on hundreds of occasions in the past, but I digress) and this photograph was staged to get people psyched for Sherlock, although what tiny segment of nerdfighteria is not already psyched for Sherlock? Also, if this is the case, who is Martin Freeman trying to advertise to? Residents of the West Side? 5. Benedict Cumberbatch has a relative or a friend who is a nerdfighter and so he is passingly familiar with nerdfighteria and liked what he has seen and wanted to make us all very happy. 6. The nerdfighter sign also happens to be the hand sign of some obscure English gang with which I am unfamiliar called like The East London Wanderers or The Slightly Intimidating Liverpudlians or whatever. 7. Nerdfighteria actually figures in the plot of the new season of Sherlock. Perhaps a nerdfighter has been (wrongly no doubt!) accused of a murder. 8. Benedict Cumberbatch was playing some kind of British version of Rock Paper Scissors against two invisible opponents, and he went double scissors (as any smart person would).

i don’t understand people who are against gay marriage and use the statement “i just couldn’t see myself marrying someone of the same sex” well 1) fucking duh you’re straight and 2) gay marriage isn’t about you special snowflake.
