Diablo Cody Takes on a Zombie Rom-Com, Makes More Room for Women in Horror?

Movies post by Tammy Oler on February 24, 2009 - 8:26pm; tagged Breathers, Diablo Cody, feminist horror films, horror, horror films, Jennifer's Body, Karyn Kusama, Megan Fox.

Diablo CodySo Variety has reported that Diablo Cody (Juno, The United States of Tara) is joining forces with Fox Searchlight to develop a film adapation of the upcoming zombie romance novel Breathers: A Zombie's Lament, about a recently undead man who finds love at a zombie support group. Cody won't be writing or directing the film, but she will be producing.

This is the second horror project that Diablo Cody has recently taken on and it makes me wonder: will she make more room for women in the genre?

Virtual Insanity

The Japanese video game Rapelay (which encourages players to rape women and then force abortions upon) that Amazon.com recently pulled from its online shelves has not only hit high on the barf-o-meter and broke the WTF Scale, but has elicited reactions from a variety of sources. Although I first read about the game on Feministing, the Curvature had a great in-depth feminist response, and girl-gamer Leigh Alexander from SexyVideoGameland had an intriguing two cents as well. (Google result/bad political-metaphor-maker Kevin McCullough not so much). Most interesting was the very much non-blogsphere event of the New York City Assault Alliance Against Sexual Violence calling a news conference yesterday morning specifically denouncing any US video distributors from carrying the game. Any New Yorkers hear about it or attend it? Anyone else want to weigh in on the various responses to the story?

What's more punk than drag?

Music post by Danny Hayes on February 24, 2009 - 3:17pm; tagged gender-bending, punk, queercore, The Cramps.

I'm a little late with my Lux Interior tribute post, but better late than never.  For those of you who aren't familiar with him, Lux was the lead singer of the Cramps- a super rad, super trashy, super gay punk band that was active from the early 70s up until Lux's death earlier this month.

Adventures in Feministory: Madam CJ Walker

History post by Kelsey Wallace on February 23, 2009 - 8:19pm; tagged Adventures in Feministory, hair care products, Madam CJ Walker, millionaires.

Given the current economic crisis (and the fact that Slumdog Millionaire cleaned up at last night's Oscars), it seemed high time we dedicated the Adventures in Feministory segment of the blog to a woman who was all about the Benjamins. We could all use a little financial inspiration these days, right?

So stop clipping those coupons, put off your dumpster diving until the weather gets a little warmer, and read on to learn more about Madam CJ Walker, the first African American woman to become a self-made millionaire. Let's hope that her entrepeneurial spirit and skill at crafting hair care products for black women (her specialty) will inspire some of us to follow in her feministory footsteps.

"Protection": Comic Books, Masculinity, and Doing It

Love / Shove post by Annalee Schafranek on February 23, 2009 - 2:44pm; tagged comic books, contraception, sex, superhero movies, Watchmen.

A promotional item for the upcoming, and much anticipated, Watchmen comic-to-movie adaptation is confusing fans and blurring the line between sexual and supernatural fantasy.

The Box's Crushes of the Week: Saturday Night New Girls

TV post by Juliana Tringali on February 20, 2009 - 5:32pm; tagged Abby Elliott, Angelina Jolie, Ann Coulter, comedy, Kristen Wiig, Lawrence Welk Show, Michaela Watkins, Saturday Night Live.

Watkins and Elliott look so happy in PhotoShop

Maybe I over-post about Saturday Night Live, but I just can't help myself. This season is one of the best ever! Plus, I’m thrilled with the screen time that female cast members are getting. The newest lady cast members, Michaela Watkins and Abby Elliott, are especially crushable. They were presumably brought on at the end of last year to fill the feminine gap left by Amy Poehler’s departure, and they haven’t disappointed. Both have held their own in ensemble sketches and come up with some hilarious recurring roles too.
