Joss Whedon Round-Up
Jun. 9th, 2013 12:31 amWhy do you think there’s a lack of female superheroes in film?
Joss Whedon: Toymakers will tell you they won’t sell enough, and movie people will point to the two terrible superheroine movies that were made and say, You see? It can’t be done. It’s stupid, and I’m hoping The Hunger Games will lead to a paradigm shift. It’s frustrating to me that I don’t see anybody developing one of these movies. It actually pisses me off. My daughter watched The Avengers and was like, “My favorite characters were the Black Widow and Maria Hill,” and I thought, Yeah, of course they were. I read a beautiful thing Junot Diaz wrote: “If you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves.”
Can he be in charge of like...everything?
So, I've been worried about being able to see Much Ado about Nothing on the big screen. Muvico sent me an email about making sure I see it in July. JULY!!!!
Bah.
I have since found out that it does open at Tampa Theatre on June 21st which is both awesome and horrible. I love the theatre. It's awesome but...
They don't have weekday matinées and it can be very hard with a retail schedule to get down there on the weekends or at night. We can usually only manage 1-3 films a year.
Damn.
