Hello, all! I am transferring to umass amherst this fall, and had a webinar about move-in and in that, the speaker said when you move in beds are lofted but you can move them up/down. the problem is that i have a physical disability and if a bed is too high up i will have a lot of trouble getting in (+ risk of falling that could be really bad) anyone know if we can get someone to help move them down the day of move-in? thanks.
Hello! I use the YouTube streams on the MST3K YouTube channel on my tv to sleep, and noticed that for some odd reason they have all been taken down. While in the middle of one, it said it was blocked because of. 3rd party content. Anyone else notice this?
I've been thinking about seed of chucky a lot recently, and it's interesting to me, because it seems very in line with scream 3 as a critique of the Hollywood system, but also specifically Weinstein as well. In the film, Tilly is shown as an actress who is on the downturn from her career, which does mirror what was happening in Jennifer Tilly's life/career at the time. In 1994 she was nominated for an Oscar for the film "bullets over broadway" and badly wanted to win, while the head of miramax (who released the film), harvey weinstein, was pushing for dianne wiest to win for her role in the film. TLDR tilly ended up campaigning for herself to get the win and Weinstein didn't seem to like that.
from an interview with jennifer:
“Harvey Weinstein came up to me,” she said. “I assumed that he was annoyed that I tried to split the vote. Or maybe I just wasn’t his type, being 36 at the time and a lot older than the average starlet."
so there's this animosity there. Then, from another interview with variety:
"I was hoping I could parlay my Oscar nomination into something a little more elevated," Tilly later admitted. Instead, she found herself still struggling to book roles. "It was always a struggle," she told Vulture. "One role never led to another role."
While she was still in things (including our beloved chucky films) it for sure seems like a lot less. I think JT was blacklisted from the industry to some extent by Weinstein, and I do think that seed is partly about that, as they bring up multiple times she is not getting movie roles anymore. Furthermore, there's a lot of sexual ideas/themes directed at Jennifer within the film. (for example, she almost (does?) sleeps with redman to get the role as the virgin mary, and she is impregnated by chucky and tiffany later in the film. I am not saying Jennifer was assaulted by Weinstein as that is a strong accusation to make, but I do think these ideas in the film could be an analog for the man in general, considering he was known to sexually abuse many actresses in Hollywood.
Just some thoughts I had thinking about the film, and how it related to Jennifer Tilly’s career, as it always struck me odd that she is not in as many things as I figured she would be, and how this film could relate to the real life circumstances.
is it just because body standards were so insane in the early 2000’s? Because they bring it up multiple times and i do get its a comedy, but she just never seemed that overweight to me!
i know in the flashback scene in the show where they met, it tells us she was already into killing, but my train of thought was like, if you took that consistent aide away (that being chucky) do you think she would be able to live a normal enough life?
