A Note From Your Author, The Hypocrite

2019: where I stop complaining about late-stage capitalism and its effects on gig workers long enough to have a coffee maker delivered to my doorstep same-day delivery thanks to a three-way conversation via IM so that family members won’t miss their caffeine ration tomorrow morning.

Try the Wine

“A Clockwork Orange” – like “Blazing Saddles” which came out that same year – is so transgressive and so invasive, you want to ignore it exists.

And yet, 45 years later, it is still relevant as hell. Not just relevant, but invasive. Awful. Horrible. It is not an easy watch. It does not reward you. It remains one of the best movies ever made. And even today, it remains not just relevant, but… forbidden. It goes there. Every time. And you think it might be pornographic – but it’s not. It’s so much worse.

One of the most awkward scenes. And bear in mind – this was filmed in 1971. This was in your face in every way possible. The tension in this scene, the knowledge, how everyone interacts… it’s so painful and so perfect. Kubrick was/remains a master of his art.

A Brief History of 30 Years of Objectification of Commander Deanna Troi

I’ve always enjoyed this cartoon flaying of Star Trek: The Next Generation (a show I dearly love) which among many other things called out the show for having a character who was a woman who was empathetic towards what other people felt as if she was some sort of SPACE WIZARD.

No photo description available.

Personally, I thought TNG nailed it when during “Chains of Command”, the asshole captain who took over temporarily took one look at her space-wizard outfit and said, “YOU WILL BE IN STANDARD UNIFORM ON MY BRIDGE” and she DID and for the REST OF THE SERIES she did (to the great relief of the actress, Marina Sirtis, who was really tired of having her own space leotard.)

Yet another legacy of Gene Roddenberry (who actually tried to write Ferengi as sex wizards) cast aside. For the better; not only is the character less objectified, but a regular uniform is also far more flattering.

And by the time Picard arrived to slam nostalgia over all our heads, she finally got to wear whatever the hell she wanted, the secret joy of every veteran.
