The Bechdel Test and Race in Popular Fiction

myleswillsaveus:

crystalsavestheday:

1. It has to have two POC in it.

2. Who talk to each other.

3. About something other than a white person.


No Joss Whedon show passes, neither does Supernatural, or Being Human.

Veronica Mars passes, but doesn’t pass the original Bechdel Test.

Check out a few more here.

This comment about Joss Whedon is 100% inaccurate. Someone didn’t see Firefly.

Fernando Reza’s “The One That Got Away” series of posters. Artist Fernando Reza has created a series of posters from an alternate universe in which Stanley Kubrick was able to make Napoleon (pictured above), Orson Welles finished Don Quixote, Alfred Hitchcock madeKaleidoscope and David Lean made Nostromo.  Then he went and made posters that look better than anything that may have actually been released to promote said films. You can head over to /Film to see the other three, or head to Reza’s website where prints can be purchased.

“The Chiefs” T-shirt by Ste7en Lefcourt I’m really trying to not post every t-shirt that TeeFury releases here.  Their products are 98% geek bait, so if I posted every shirt that I thought could be loved by readers of Geek Boutique, then I might as well just use this URL as a forwarding site to their’s. But look.  It’s a Master Chief helmet as a football helmet.  Funny. Buy it at TeeFury (today only!).

Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray Finally, you can see Jar Jar Binks in all of his high definition glory! At this point, it doesn’t look like Lucasfilm will be releasing the original, un-special version of episodes IV-VI on these blu-rays.  Because he hates all of us. Buy it at Amazon.

Inception Totem. This is pretty cool.  I’m not sure what I’d do with my very own totem; I only know that I want one. The set, by Etsy seller cufflinksblink, includes one stainless steel top, a die, and a pouch. Buy it at Etsy.

“Ten Banthas” poster by Jay Ryan. 18”x24” screen print.  Hand numbered edition of 175. This is another in the continuing line of amazing Star Wars posters curated by Mondo Tees. Buy the poster at Mondo.  Nevermind; it’s sold out.  I think you have to have magic powers of some kind to be able to buy a Mondo poster these days.
