Time travel in movies
1 forward step: DC comics is maybe trying to reach out to women by jumping on Pinterest.
Annnnnnd 1 sideways step: Really? The first 2 pins are Batman and Superman? Really?
Pinterest is, no offense to Tumblr, the hottest social media site around right now. And it is also one of the sites that is dominated by female users. That would be 82% of users.
So when DC announced it was on Pinterest yesterday I got excited. What? DC Comics is on Pinterest? Is this a…
HAPPY MERRY!!!

If you were brought here by Jezebel or xoJane or any other great website - hello! This isn’t the original post however. I deleted that. Not because I was ashamed of it but because things have changed a bit and I want to, as my friend Todd Glass would say, “have…

I can’t believe what I just saw. This would only have made a near-perfect film a little bit BETTER than perfect.“Lilo and Stitch” 2002
Deleted Scene
Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.
IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D UNDERSTAND
I desperately need to understand
WHY
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
Was this scene cut from the movie??!!
Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people?? The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??
The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.
No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know.
oh man WHY WOULD they cut this, this is so great, holy MOLY
It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)
Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.
That is amazing.
I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to structure as a storytelling foundation. Please understand that the following are just random thoughts and questions, not meant to indicate a final theory. AND this is long, I suggest not reading it at all.
Okay, here we go.
For many, many years, the…
Check out this map of American state stereotypes via noupside and generated by Google autocomplete. Pretty interesting though as a proud New Jerseyan (yes, proud), I say hrrrmphf.
From the original post:
In the months before a US Presidential election, the quality of political discourse hits new lows. Blue State/Red State tropes dominate the news cycle as the media gins up outrage over perceived injustices in the culture wars. It’s all about our differences. So I started wondering, how do Americans really think about “those people” in other states? What are the most common stereotypes? For each of the fifty states and DC, I asked Google: “Why is [State] so ” and let it autocomplete. It seemed like an ideal question to get at popular assumptions, since “Why is [State] so X?” presupposes that X is true.
