"In the 101 top-grossing family films…from 1990 to 2004, of the over 4,000 characters in these films, 75% overall were male, 83% of characters in crowds were male, 83% of narrators were male, and 72% of speaking were male. When the American Psychological Association commented on this research, they said, ‘This gross under-representation of women or girls in films with family-friendly content reflects a missed opportunity to present a broad spectrum of girls and women in roles that are non-sexualised.’"

robcoindustries:

see, in spanish the word for “genre” and the word for “gender” is the same: “género”. if you live in mexico and someone asks you what gender you are, you can be whatever i’m comfortable with. i’m a boy, or a girl. i’m a crime noir with a bit of spicy romance. i’m post-punk electronic music. i have trascended human perceptions of gender and am now a being of pure art

into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely: When Nerds Fail. The New Race Drama In Comic Movies

So apparently there is a Fantastic Four reboot, and apparently this young man has been cast as Johnny Storm..

His name is Micheal B. Jordan. I guess his most notable role lately is in The Wire, but a quick…

Okay, anyone who didn’t object to Alba as Sue Storm, uh, why? Now I love Alba, woman is hot as hell and if you watched Dark Angel then you know she has done some strong female roles (though that show isn’t perfect, and maybe at times her acting was simply not good). But man, the Sue Storm blonde hair and blue eyes did not suit her.

Now personally, I’d like to see an Asian Sue Storm. But then, I am not super invested in what they do with it, since FF is something not even Warren Ellis could make me like.

As a member of a blended family, though, let me remind people: it really affects the sibling dynamics. Do I trust most Hollywood writers to pull it off? Very no. Which isn’t to say they shouldn’t try. But maybe don’t assume the worst of fans?

(Also: best things about this was reading that explanation of why Chris Evans was poor casting. Hilarious and the most true thing ever.)
