Thank you all for jumping in
Thank you all for jumping in with comments this first post in our theme week! Each of your comments resonates with why I was unable to easily dismiss her video (and the second one on Gamergate and ethics-ugh- that she since posted). She deftly crafts hers ... -
Playing While Black
I was curious how this video was received by an audience, so I watched from his YouTube channel and read some of the the over 2K comments. Despite the over-emotional tone of the narrator's delivery, which might encourage dismissal, the conversation i ... -

After watching the most recent episode "Belongings" I am compelled to chime in here about Dollhouse, pain, memory and choice. And perhaps also to voice my despair at this latest Whedon project. In "Belongings" we learn a bit more about ... -
Keeping up with the Overflow
Your comment Will about overflow as an "industry standard" recalled a conversation I had just last night with a friend and documentary filmmaker. She is in town for the Boston Independent Film Festival and was remarking to me how completely exha ...
