Greatest Influences

Had to do this for one of my classes, thought I'd share.


1. STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE - Watching this at 13 years old my first thought was "I want to be a Jedi". My second thought was "I want to be the person who made this and who made me want to be a jedi"
2. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (TV) - This show came to me at a time of transition in my life and it changed me. It also introduced me to my second greatest influence Joss Whedon.
3. The Matrix - Epic, crazy use of Christian and Gnostic myths, awesome VFX.
4. Dogfight - The only romantic drama I like. Made me relate so heavily to the main character. Still makes me cry.
5. The Breakfast Club - First film I saw to rely so heavily on characters and dialogue.
6. Juno - I wish I was this funny all the time.
7. Firefly (TV) - Favorite television show of all time. SPACE WESTERN enough said...
8. Alias (TV) - First television show I watched religiously
9. M*A*S*H - The best of comedic television.
10. Rent - Changed my mind about musicals and the 80's. seeing it on Broadway reinforced this.

Bitch Goddess

I hereby declare my status as a feminist. I've just watched the longest string of male chauvinistic, patriarchal, racist, heteronormative crap and I HATE IT. Fuck em!
Why are women given roles that amount to either prostitute or mother? Where are all the strong women? Maybe I should watch something made after 1973... Not sure it would do much good.

New musical Obession

This woman is utterly magical to see live

Theory

I feel like they must own Joss soul, or the right to his first born child, that why he keeps going back to them.

Granted they did get a second season and they will get a chance to burn off the last of the 13 episodes, I still don't think that FOX gave them enough of a chance.

It's official, FOX are the gate keepers to my own personal hell

I just don't think that big networks and corporations in general realize how shitty they are. This whole capitalist agenda of theirs consistently ruins my life. WHATS WRONG WITH JUST MAKING GOOD TELEVISION. Why must they constantly prevent those with talent and vision from sharing their awesomeness with the world.

Why are shows with heart, a conscious, and a message feared? Why are innovations in character development and storyline seen as too confusing? Viewers are smart! And if your products were more readily available for non live viewing, people would be more willing to invest in complicated storyline. Also DVR, iTunes and Online view should count towards official viewership, lets be honest, that is how we watch television now, get with it.

Network television I flip you and your hegemonic capitalist heteronormative ass's the bird!

Also I am currently taking bets on how long it takes FOX to systematically ruin GLEE. Who's in?

SAVE DOLLHOUSE!
