Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Matt, don't say that out loud. It's like Beetlejuice. They appear when summoned.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Link! Give me a link! Muahahahah!
No link, it was over IM. Essentially, she was like, yes, move over, go away, you're problematic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Debet, if you're hiding from Browncoats here, there might be something I have to tell you.

Ahahahahaha! Please give her a big smooch from me for that. I still haven't watched AP's TED talk for fear that it will make my head explode with rage.

I felt like AP got suddenly unproblematic and really trendy among the same people who were calling stuff out back in the day, and I thought I'd missed some redemptive gesture or something.
Is it just "I don't want to be mad at someone Neil Gaiman loves, because even hipsters like Neil Gaiman at least a little"? Or, you know, some other sincere and uncompromising explanation?

Mostly this, I fear. Which is part of the reason I don't say much (super-publicly) about any issues I have with her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have no problems with Amanda Palmer and admire her.
She didn't say the rights things when she wrote her record about conjoined twins and was called out for being ableist.
That's the extent of her offense. Was she huffy and puffy and defensive about it? Yes.
That doesn't bug me.

My biggest issue with her goes back to why her "Fuck having a plan B" statement infuriated me. It's easy to have that belief when you have (and have always had) a safety net that will make sure you are taken care of while you Persue Your Art. And from everything I've heard about her TED talk, that blithe assumption of privilege is an undercurrent in it.
