Scarlet Road: The Most Inspirational Escort Ever

Here is a trailer for a documentary about the Australian escort Rachel Wotton who specializes in servicing disabled men. I totally have the most inspired boner right now. She is truly doing God’s work. These severely physically disabled men would probably never get the opportunity to feel genuine physical love, Rachel is really making these mens lives happier. I seriously could not accept any argument anyone could have against what she is doing. Yes, of course she gets paid, I’m sure she even gets paid a premium above most escorts, but what she is doing for these men is pretty great. Cant wait to check out this documentary! Hit the break for the trailer…

A bunch of pictures Stanley Kubrick took in New York in the 1940’s…

I love Stanley Kubrick. I am a huge fan of his movies and admire him for the unrelenting research he put into every piece of film he shot. He also liked taking photographs. He personally shot hundreds of thousands of photos of places while researching for movies as well as did some personal artistic photography as well.

The Last of the Mohicans: The Romantic Structure of Drama…It’s Just Compelling

Yes, last of the Mohicans is a traditional narrative. Some would say the very structure of narrative is sexist. There is always a man at the centre who is a hero. Women are relegated to positions as sexual objects, often the bad guy is not white. In this sense drama can look like a negotiation of different bodily value in a culture. Narratives are accused of being patriarchal because they privilege the male perspective. In my experience, this has been used as an excuse to gloss over what I feel are a lot of brilliant pieces of literature.
