final project, part 1 of 2
Draco: I was watching this film on the vitellysion you should watch. It's about a mermaid who falls in love with a human prince. So she goes to an octopus like evil witch...
Harry: Are you talking about "The Little Mermaid"?
Draco: Yes! Have you watched it?
Harry: It's a child's film
Draco: Yeah, sure, as if a child would undertand the complexity of a interspecies tranfiguration and the power of a magical contract

Reading Response (8 of 8) “Constant criticality is the name of the game”
Magic is Might monument from the Ministry of Magic With the daunting task of having to write a mere 500 words of fanfiction for our final project, I have newfound respect for the creation of these extensive alternative universes. As I kept reading the entry post for The Postmodern Potter compendium my awe only kept growing. I was also browsing around and looked at all the different tags which include everything from the marauders era, the four founders and even letters from Pleione Carrow! I’m amazed by how many gaps in the universe that can be filled out and how many opportunities there are to discuss basically EVERYTHING. The entry we read, was among others tagged with “magic and colonialism” and it looks at colonialism through the wizarding world with the Shacklebolts as a starting point. Harry Potter fans already know who Kingsley Shacklebolt is. (This post also shows how J.K Rowling names her characters in a Dickinson kind of way with “shackled” and “bolted”). Harry Potter is an urban or modern fantasy that takes places in our real contemporary setting and it encourages the reader to think critically. At times the books however don’t really follow their own good example and the Postmodern Potter Compendium addresses this by extending J.K Rowling’s universe. While Harry Potter himself realizes how corruption is everywhere, the wizarding world sees itself as above the muggles and refuses to acknowledge that the wizarding world has the exact same deeply engrained systemic oppressions.
The Celluloid Closet (1995)
“What happened, of course, in the 20s and 30s when they got very raunchy the Catholic Church and fundamentalist Protestants came down hard. The big change occurred when the movie moguls got together.”
They found an outsider in the form of Indiana politician Will Hays who set up the Motion Picture Production Code.
“Will Hays would head the movies’ first voluntary effort at self-censorship. The early Hays code was a token gesture, seldom taken seriously. But by 1934, the Catholic Church had devised a scheme of its own. The Legion of Decency not only rated movies as to content but threatened massive boycotts. Hollywood promised to play by the rules.”
“Code director Joe Breen ran Hollywood’s censorship machinery for over two decades. He was authorized to change words, personalities and plots. A novel about a sexually-confused alcoholic became a movie about an alcoholic with writer’s block. A novel about gay bashing and murder became a movie about anti-semitism and murder.”
“For all its efforts, the production code didn’t erase homosexuals from screens. It just made them harder to find. Now they had a new identity… as cold-blooded villains.”
This documentary really needs an update to talk about the recent developments. We’re finally at a point as a community when we’re not just surviving. We’re not hiding anymore and we can find each other and come together like religious groups used to do in order to boycott us. We’re fighting for a reversal of censorship and I think it’s important that people know Hollywood was on some level always willing and wanting to tell our stories. It’s important to know where we come from. It’s important to explain that you cannot call a group of people delusional because they perceive something that was invented to be invisible in the first place. We really need people to know more about our histories and we need to learn as much as possible about our own history in order to make our points.
Why Are Disney Villains Queer-coded?
There’s a lack of LGBT kid’s characters, but a plethora of queer-coded villains. Why are traits stereotypically associated with queer people, particularly effeminate men, exclusively linked to villains?
Examples include Jafar, Scar, Hades, Ursula, Ratcliffe, Ratigan, King John, King Candy & more.
does lord farquaad count as an effeminate villain (yes I know he is not Disney)
Fay Wray’s script was just: and then you scream, and then you scream again.. and then you have one line, oh and then you scream again..
They went all in on the dramatic music score in this film - (not sure why the pope might be in this gif, but he is)
Jurassic World (2015).
King Kong (1933).
Modern special effects are sooo overrated..
So is this before the Hays code? ‘cause it’s already getting pretty toasty with all this indescent kissing, kidnapping and such, or is it only flushing toilets that’s not okay?? 🚽 💕
Too much for 2018 audience...
Live blog King Kong 1933
Pff yeah, why on earth would you have women represented in your movie picture... Directors are so silly <3
