Movie Trailer of the Day: Jack Kerouac’s bestseller finally will make it to the big screen after years in development — and a perfectly timed scandal from star Kristen Stewart.

While checking out the film blog,Shadow & ActI came upon a new documentary that examines Black women in the civil rights movement. EntitledReflections Unheard, the film “focuses on the marginalization of black women between the Black Power and Feminist ideologies of the 60s and 70s, up to the present.” Featuring file footage from those turbulent times and commentary from several Black women, the film exposes how Black women have had to continuously decide between our race and our gender. Currently unfinished, this film is bound to spark very intense conversations around race, gender, and how we define ourselves.Reflections Unheard: Black Women in Civil Rights Documentary Clip

TV Corner - Pan Am Fall 2011 trailer
(via Shakesville)
Conceived as a “period drama about the pilots and flight attendants who once made Pan Am the most glamorous way to fly,” it looks like a cross between Mad Men and Catch Me If You Can, with all the stylized backlash goodness of implying that America’s Golden Age of pre-feminism was funsexytimes to be a lady while simultaneously recreating for entertainment purposes enough rank misogyny endemic to the era to insidiously scold modern women for not realizing how good they’ve got it. YAY!
The other awesome (where awesome = totes horrendo) thing about setting a show in the past is how you can make it all about straight white people, and respond to criticism about a lack of diversity with: THAT’S JUST HOW IT WAS BACK THEN!
People of color and queer people and women who weren’t caricatures of a stereotype of a straw-woman stitched together with myths and hooey didn’t even EXIST until they started complaining about stuff.
It’s called history. Look it up.
….
The most obnoxious aspect of “retro chic” entertainment like this is the aggressively insistent pretense that institutional misogyny is a thing of the past, so it’s okay to laugh at the ABSURDITY of flight attendants getting weighed, except whoops that still happens.
