Because I haven’t been generating much content recently, and because I
previously posted about the passage of Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog’s initial online run, I thought I’d point out that it’s currently up and running on
Hulu.
For those of you who don’t know, Dr. Horrible is the most recent project from
Joss Whedon. It began out of frustration over the writer’s strike and over Hollywood’s failure to engage in exciting ways with emerging media and modes of distribution. (Ironically, perhaps, Hulu is a joint venture between NBC and Fox; hardly scrappy Robin Hood types).
Anyway: if you’re a Whedon fan, if you’re interested in the coming media wars, if you’ve heard about Hulu but never watched anything, or if you just want to hear Neil Patrick Harris sing, the videos are embedded below.
I noticed a while ago that Lily at
The Petite Sophist had cited
my essay on Fassbinder’s Querelle and used some of my strategies to talk about the exquisite artificiality and refined camp of Pierre et Gilles. She’s apparently excerpting a paper she wrote for school. Anyway, it was flattering to be cited, and Lily’s post is a pleasure to read (some of her paraphrasing of my arguments is clearer than my original, I’m afraid), so I’m linking to it
here.
–I think people are becoming less class-conscious. Because… I mean… umm, with, for instance, hippies, you don’t get the impression that one hippie says, “Oh, I’m sort of big guy because I’m upper class and you’re sort of some petty person because you’re low class.”
–Yes, and anybody can become a hippie.
–Uh, I think this is happening throughout the country.
