that buwhut when you see yourself in a movie trailer

Wow, that's unexpected: I'm in a movie trailer! The film - a documentary - is called GTFO, and it's about sexism and misogyny in video game culture, something I've written about a lot.



I'm not in it for long; it's only a couple of seconds of footage, shot at PAX in Seattle in... 2013, I think. But it's specifically of me. I remember the game I was playing at the time, even if I'm not sure of the year; I don't remember the camera crew.

Anyway, here's an article in The New York Times about the documentary. Here's a review. I wonder how it did at SXSW?

Hat tip to Randy Mac Kay for pointing it out to me. Funny thing is, at first mention, I thought it was from a different movie, one that I do know I'm in. This film? I had no idea. SURPRISE!

the love interests of ultron

I've been thinking a little about Anna's post about Black Widow in Avengers: Age of Ultron and about Black Widow as "love interest" and the "monster" comment and Disney/Marvel's rather hideous sexism in merchandising and trying to separate out all those bits and pieces into a coherent thought.

And I've got various things to say about various parts, but I think want to talk about this one tweet. It gets spoilery below here, so consider yourself warned now.
