Saw it and loved it. I’m with you when it comes to the overrated ‘maturity’ and ‘gravitas’ of the Nolan Batman stuff. But I’d venture the brief moments of sheer drama in Doctor Strange was executed far better and with more sincerity than anything Nolan gave us. The fact that EVERY. SINGLE. FRAME. of the Nolan…

I teach college and yes, this is ever more the case for me as well, believe me. Yet these are adults, granted all the privileges and responsibilities of adults.
I think you’re right to correct them. 95% chance your students are referring to her as “he” because they assume person=male unless otherwise indicated, not because they’re post-gender :)
I’m grading an exam for my Civil War class and so so many of my students are misgendering Faust when discussing her article about Civil War deaths. On the one hand, gender is a construct, so why make a big deal and correct them? On the the other hand, I was at Harvard when she was inaugurated & attended the ceremony…
Dating doesn’t mean that? Now I’m depressed.
What planet do you inhabit where boys* publish numerical livestock evaluations and detailed descriptions of the “fuckability” of their sports teammates in a crowd-sourced document?
Oh, all this time I thought Ivy League was a reference to those school being so old and established that their building were covered with ivy. This title is over sports!? *sigh*
The Ivy League is literally a sports-related grouping. It’s eight schools that are all in, for instance, the same football conference. “Regular” schools are separated the same way.
No doubt the penalty would be the same if they played football.

Holy mother of pearl. Real consequences to the sports ball game for grossly sexist and dehumanizing behavior.
yes, i know...thats what made it crazy, drax.
Other than Dolores del Rio, Carmen Miranda, Maria Montez, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, the Mills Brothers, Cab Calloway, Louis Jordan, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, the Nicholas Brothers, Pearl Bailey, Ruby Dee, Eartha Kitt, Dihann Carroll, Rita Moreno, Louis Armstrong, Hazel Scott, Juanita Moore, Ricardo Montalban and…
Hail Caesor was extremely unrealistic in a lot of ways, why is questioning the idea that race shouldn’t be one of them out of bounds?
Setting aside the specific issue, we really need a better legal framework to counter-sue against inappropriate Copyright-oriented C&D letters (or any other retaliatory act).
It’s unprofessional. These are the kind of thoughts you keep to yourself or divulge with a trusted colleague at the café, not to a journalist in a story where you already look bad.
The main point of this article is the retaliation from the Actors Access, not the initial casting call. The ad itself is pretty uncool though, even if it’s typical of the industry.
That’s pretty reductive. It’s an ugly industry, but it’s pretty unfair to assume that the only reason people get into it is for attention.
