#Women Hanged in Movies

Stills from Salem S1E5 "Sabbat" and S1E12 "Ashes, Ashes". Sometimes girls just want to have fun and it upsets the bible-thumpers disproportionately.

Film & TV I Think About A Lot » Eve's Bayou (1997) dir. Kasi Lemmons

"When I was your age, before I ever did the counseling, I could look at people, complete strangers, and see their whole lives so clear. But when I looked at each of my husbands, I never saw a thing. That's how it always is. Blind to my own life."

Saw a post abt the Sonic movies that was like "plz filter negativity posts better" which is GOOD AND TRUE you should be doing that. Ok. But then they kept going to imply that the criticisms of the Sonic movies are all entirely Personal and Ignorable and not like. Usually abt the horrific copaganda, misogynistic writing, and Paramount's disgusting zionism.... Guys a lot of ppls problem w the Knuckles show wasn't JUST a bastardization of Knuckles' character or thinking Wade was annoying or whatever, but like was focused on the grotesque Zionist message from that one episode 😭😭😭 you can enjoy something and still recognize that it has intrinsic and huge glaring flaws and talk abt them. I think actually you Should be speaking up abt the misogyny, zionism and propaganda the SCU supports and discusses, ESPECIALLY if you like the movies! Its important to be able to recognize these things in media and admit that even media you personally enjoy can be deeply problematic, instead of hiding it away and pretending those HUGE FLAWS aren't issues actually....

watched the green knight for the first time (baby’s first a24 movie). best possible movie to see an incredibly sexy man wearing slutty low cut shirts bumbling around being soaking wet and pathetic

“it was so feminism 101” HONESTLY like that fucking speech america ferrera gave to margot robbie was so first line of a textbook in a women’s study class, it’s like something you’d tell a ten year old girl being faced with misogyny for the first time, and all the “girl math/girl dinner/here’s this complex political issue explained ‘for the girlies’” women ate it the fuck up like are you not embarrassed that this was seen as so revolutionary?? we should be past this in our modern society

LITERALLY OMG!!! I originally expected the movie to just be silly and then i saw waves and waves of women claiming it was so profound and deep and made them cry so when i watched America's speech i was like is that IT?? It was the most hand-held I've ever felt watching something and this isn't even a kids movie

This set of gifs comes from 1990 Roger Corman movie Frankenstein Unbound. Catherine Corman (Roger's daughter) plays Justine, nanny of Victor Frankenstein's young brother. Frankenstein refuses to clear her name after his monster kills the boy, resulting in her execution.

Jo Carol Bran from the Black Jack movie is the anime woman I wish I was if I was in an anime movie

I genuinely don't know how to feel about this Princess Peach game coming out.

On one hand, Peach is deserving of her own game and own adventure, and it's been too long since she's stared in a title as the main character.

One the other hand, instead of going out into the world on an adventure and fighting a bad guy, she's putting on costumes and entering stage plays.

Her original appearance as a main character, if I am remembering correctly, she was given a wand that let her use her emotions to solve puzzles and fight people. So we've gone from an overly emotional Peach to a Peach that is dressing up in fashionable outfits.

And I get that's like, the worst way to frame both the scenarios in these games, but it's like, in a world where Princess Peach can be a very feminine badass, she can carry the same energy she has in titles where she's playable alongside Mario into her own games instead of having mechanics couched in stereotypes about women.

The concept with the stage plays, and the costumes, is a novel gimmick, and I always enjoy experimentation in a long running franchise. It's just unfortunate, given the history of the character, and that this is her second solo outing. I don't think I'd be thinking about it this much or be this conflicted if this was her third outing, and they had given her a more traditional Mario game concept in between her two solo outings.

antichrist is a good movie that could've been great if it had been directed by someone who isnt so visibly, viscerally weird about women

Angela Lansbury!!!! She is indeed the persnickety Aunt March in this version of Little Women

she's got a parrot that's a little too friendly from how Jo reacts to it

Aunt March - Well we can choose who we fall in love with.

... aro vibes tbh, because allos definitely don't see falling in love as a choice

I can’t watch true crime shit because it makes my blood boil and I just can’t shut up during it.

What was the first "LGBTQ+" movie you ever watched? Because my friend just told me hers was I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) which was the worst/funniest possible answer

Linda Batista as Eleonora Fonseca Pimentel in "Luisa Sanfelice" (2004)

The story of Eleonora Fonseca Pimentel is curious, and requires a little explanation: both her and Luisa Sanfelice were executed for their involvement in the Napoleon-sponsored Neapolitan Republic, but Eleonora made it personal, insulting Queen Maria Carolina, wife of the escaped king Ferdinand IV, in her writings. Which is why Luisa Sanfelice was beheaded, but Eleonora, despite her noble birth, ended up hanged - as a "Jacobin" and enemy of the monarchy.
