Now for some fun, especially for those who've watched HBO's "Game of Thrones" show.
And they've also posted Episode 2:
For some reason, this reminds me of the movie "Heathers," which![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
chernobylred and I just watched for the first time last night. HOW DID I MISS THIS ONE? Check out this freaky trailer:
Last night, I kept asking aloud how I've never seen Heathers before. Here's what I came up with, which is both telling and ironic, considering what the movie is about:
I think it's because it came out in 1988, when I was in college and not dating anyone, and boys then saw it as a "girl's movie." That's right: Boys didn't allow themselves to see "girl's movies," and might still keep themselves from enjoying such. Not that Heathers is either a boy's or girl's movie, but it was perceived as such, partly because the lead is a girl (Winona Ryder). I never had that issue, but I've also never liked going to movies alone, so I missed out. BECAUSE OF THE DAMNED PATRIARCHY. I stopped myself from enjoying a film that would have blown me away at the time, because of cultural normativism. I'm a white guy in the US, yet I've been harmed by the retro-patriarchy. Just goes to show that we're ALL harmed by outmoded cultural norms.
