Why the #OscarsSoWhite Boycott Should Not Be Forgotten Just Yet
Even after a history changing event, the 93rd Oscars proved it always had the space for more inclusivity in its award ceremony. But it this enough to change the boycott?
The Drywall Incident (1995)
"A collage of B-movie science fiction, surrealism, film noir and cinema verité, the 1995 tragicomic film purported to serve as a promotional piece for Drywall and their record release 'Work The Dumb Oracle'. It instead devolved into a stream-of-consciousness kidnapping and murder story involving extraterrestrials, a ventriloquist’s dummy (the band’s conniving manager Jackie), a confused and emotional private eye and a band quickly losing patience over the whole fiasco." - Carlos Grasso

The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.

Pixar’s Objectification Obsession in “Inner Workings” and Beyond
Like all modern societal phenomenons, it started with a meme. This one highlighted that when there’s a mom in a Pixar film, she is almost without fail given striking curves that highlight the bottom half of her body following a minuscule waist.
