Seriously

I am not sure if it is merely symptomatic of film in America or society in general or if my professor's selections of movies to analyze for gender are skewed a particular way but jesus christ I would like to be able to write an essay about film without talking about rape.

Like, not even rape culture. Just specific incidences of rape or sexual assault.

What the fuck.

You're aware that part of Fox's choice was that the network owns Dollhouse but did not own T:SCC? That was why Dollhouse was more lucrative--for T:SCC, syndication & DVD rights were property of another company, which, *checks IMDB* looks like is under Warner Brothers. Fox was just first-run distribution, so their opportunities for profit on the show were not as high.

Yes, I knew it wasn't a Fox-produced show. I guess, then, viewers shouldn't get emotionally invested in any show that's not produced by the network that airs it? And I should consider myself incredibly lucky that Burn Notice, a show I absolutely love, is doing well, despite being a Fox-produced show airing on USA, which is owned by NBC/Universal?

I know it's a business, but, as a viewer, I keep hoping these ingrained patterns will change, somehow.
