[182] Various Meme

[filmnoir]

Here is a meme that asks you to fill in the first ideas that pop into your head in response to each respective question. Then repost 5 various questions in your journal to see what responses come from your friends.

1. When a woman becomes President of the United States, these three things should also happen:

2. Will David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson be forever typecast as Mulder and Scully and thus relegated to theatre work for the rest of their acting careers?

3. Do you think ipod and satellite music will usurp airwave radio?

4. Does the phrase "12 mini-dates lasting 6 minutes each" seem like a commodification of relationships/dating?

5. Should movies begin telling stories again instead of displaying effects gadgetry (Norman Jewison, Irving Thalberg Award acceptance speech, 1999 Oscars)?

1. a) ERA=28th Constitutional Amendment
b) Our country will become less dependant on oil resources
c) More open-minded society

2. Time wil tell. Maybe they haven't found any worthwhile scripts.

3. Hasn't it already?

4. Yes, I think so. It makes relationships sound as disposable or consumable as something you could buy in a supermarket.

5. Yes, engaging, entertaining stories are the essence of what a good film has at its fundamental level.

some thoughts....

1. ERA. Pro-choice in deed as well as spirit, is enforced.

2. No. I think they have both done some pretty great work outside of Xfiles that has been well reviewed.

3, No. Radio will always be needed, not only for the public services it provides, but also because there are lots of people who can not afford any other means of getting music. Besides, these services will just grow more and more pricey in time, and there will be a swing away from them as a result. Just look at cable tv.

Ah yes, the PS aspect of radio, very true.

Also, good point about pro-choice.

1. a - People should stop thinking it's a big deal for women to be at high levels of government. The achievement is not as much to be the first woman anything, but simply to be.
b - The press should not bother itself finding silly names for her male companion, if she has one.
c - She should work toward the positive humanist changes that anyone should work toward.

2. David will, because he doesn't seem to be bothered to do anything else. Gillian is a brilliant actress on her own, but I don't think she'll ever have a magazine article that doesn't mention Scully.

3. Yes and hopefully.

4. It just sounds ridonkulous and forced.

5. Let's have them do both! I prefer character examinations to linear stories, anyway.
