The Other Kind of Lucky

I'm not really that lucky. Life as I see it on the road I travel. And by that I mean from the bus on the way to work and back.

This Major Female Villain in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Was Originally a Man

Captain Phasma, played by Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie, got a gender-flip ... and Christie had no idea until we told her.

HEY. Remember that time the entire internet flipped out when the first casting announcement broke, because it was full of white guys and just one woman (Daisy Ridley)? This was a DIRECT RESULT of that. Speaking out DOES make a difference! JUST SO YOU KNOW.

What makes it even better is that she might have been cast in the part Benedict Cumberbatch was in the running for.

2015 was a pretty good year. FYFD turned five, we had a great reader survey response, and Tumblr gave us a Tumblr Lifetime Achievement! Guess that means I’ve got more in common with Wil Wheaton and the New York Public Library than my lifelong obsession with books. 

Without further ado, I give you the top 10 FYFD posts of 2015:

1. The secret of the dancing droplets 2. The open siphon and self-pouring liquids 3. Fingers of sea foam 4. The physics of rain drops falling on a puddle 5. Fin-like Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds in the Galapagos 6. A fish swimming in microgravity 7. Hawaiian lava waterspouts 8. Colorado’s Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds 9. Delicious fluid dynamics in the kitchen 10. Inside of a fluidic oscillator

Thanks for a great year, readers, and stay tuned. There are exciting developments afoot for 2016!

I was listening to the “Song of the Sea” soundtrack while working and I ended up not working at all and doing this instead.

Fury Road: when there are enough women

When there are enough women in your cast, not every woman has to represent all women and they can have individual flaws and strengths.

When there are enough women, some can fall apart and others can hold things together.

When there are enough women, you can literally name a character Cheedo The Fragile without making a statement about feminine fragility.

When there are enough women, you know the action movie doesn’t have to preserve the one woman in order to ensure you have one woman left in your cast at the end, so women might die, just like men, and the stakes are high and real and the plot is not predictable.

When there are enough women, you can cast women with different ages and looks and body types based on what makes sense for the story - beautiful women who were selected for beauty by a character who valued women’s bodies more than their whole selves, wiry muscular women of middle and older age, built to survive, mothers who were used for the things that come with their fertility and have the fat to show for it, old fragile women who took care of others while rarely stepping outside, disabled women affected by their environment and experiences.

When there are enough women, the world feels real.

I cannot fully express my appreciation for Fury Road. I think a lot of people are over it by now, but I’m not. I’ve never felt a piece of media in my blood like I did this movie - maybe the climactic moment of Jessica Jones - but Fury Road felt like a fire burning inside of me I’d had drenched in kerosene for years but couldn’t find a match for.
