I think it's a shame that "Oedipus complex" refers to fucking your mom instead of the actual point of his story, fulfilling your destiny through your attempts to avoid it. It just so happens his destiny was to fuck his mom

Yeah, I don’t know what Freud was thinking, but Oedipus very much did Not want to fuck his mom. He spent the entire play trying to avoid that, and then gauged out his eyes when he learned that he had anyway.

I think Freud was too caught up with the fantasy of fucking his mom to appreciate the themes of the story tbh

It's so, SO important to share success stories like this. I know an actual JPL engineer who doesn't believe in climate change because, "you never hear about acid rain anymore."

He thinks climate change can be lumped in with acid rain and the ozone layer of "things that were overblown and not really important because no one talks about it anymore."

It didn't even occur to him that we actively fixed the problem. Here's the EPA page on acid rainfall.

From the page:

It's also important to talk about success stories tonfuel hope that we can overcome current and future conservation and environmental issues.

Romeo + Juliet (1996) Trivia: Shakespeare described Tybalt swordsmanship as “showy”. To transform this into flamboyant gunplay, John Leguizamo worked with choreographer John ‘Cha Cha’ O'Connell to create a flamenco-inspired style.

This is the new gender John Leguizamo invented that one time in case anyone was curious

How can I say no to such a great photo and such a polite request?

as someone with a bachelor’s degree in english, i am inexpressibly tired of people telling me to get highly specific jobs that often require highly specific degrees. “just go write for a magazine!” you need a journalism degree for that. “just teach!” you need a teaching certificate, and also fuck you. “just go work at a tutoring place!” tutoring children with learning disabilities, which make up the majority of the clientele at those places, requires not only a teaching certificate but a specialized master’s degree. “just go work at a library!” you need a master’s degree in library science to be a librarian. it is actually a highly skilled and extremely competitive field. you don’t just “go work at a library,” you train for years in the vain hope that you will get one of handful of available jobs. “just go work at a library.” the nerve. the unmitigated gall. “just go work at a library.” ugh.

Obvious White Director Syndrome

Yesterday, I tagged a photoset from Bernard Rose’s original ‘Candyman’ film as having ‘obvious white director syndrome’. This is a term I coined in writing my theatre capstone one-act to describe movies the revolve around Black people or Black issues, but have a lot of clues that tell you - as the viewer - that they’re definitely made by a white eye. This idea is one that, once you see it, it’s almost impossible to unsee.

In the original ‘Candyman’, the main giveaway that the film’s director - who is also the screenwriter - is white is the plot itself. A Black man is murdered. By who? The wealthy white people. But who does he haunt when he comes back? His own community. That there tells the viewer everything they need to know about who made this movie.

Now, I’m not saying that ‘Candyman’ is a bad film. Not at all. But I think it’s important for all people, especially non-white people, as consumers of media to realize that this idea exists. The signs of a film with ‘obvious white director syndrome’ are pretty easy to spot. Like in ‘Candyman’, the ghost/monster will usually attack it’s own community; they will prey on the white woman who is - of course - at the center of the story; if they are not the ghost/monster, they will die to defend the white people at the center of the plot even if they aren’t meant to, like in Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’.

Those are some of the basic signs of ‘obvious white director syndrome’, and I’m sure there are many more that I’ve missed. What are yours?
