MIND MELD: Is There Gender Imbalance in Genre Fiction Publishing?

2008-07-02 01:22:57 by John in SF Signal
 
At the risk of starting a flame war - which is not at all my intention - I wanted to address the issue of gender imbalance in genre fiction publishing. I'm not interested in non-constructive finger pointing, but rather a solutions-oriented discussion. So I posed the following questions to this week's Mind meld panel Q: Gender imbalance in genre...

I'll admit it I've become obsessed with Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood , easily the best film of the year. It's been burning inside my brain for weeks now, and I've spent countless hours dissecting Anderson's stylistic, thematic and directorial nuances, for I believe this to be that rarest of things a perfect film. There isn't a...

Four more critics' circles announced their year-end awards today. Amy Ryan seems to be taking the place of once frontrunner for the best supporting actress category Cate Blanchett (though I may suspect that confusion would be made as to whether she was the lead or supporting). Frank Langella has also emerged as a dark horse candidate for Best...

I've seen a lot of people asking what exactly Todd Haynes' I'm Not There has to tell us about Bob Dylan, its ostensible subject. This is, of course, the wrong question. Moreover, it's the question that Haynes' film is specifically intended to short-circuit, to avoid, and it's likewise the question that Dylan has structured his career around...

We knew the various critics groups would go for No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood, as the National Society of Film Critics did Saturday. This means each film gets a boost during this all important ballot-filling season. What fascinates me is whether the Academy goes the same way as the critics.

There Will Be Blood (2007) Director : Paul Thomas Anderson By Roderick Heath There will be spoilers. Paul Thomas Anderson is the most talented of the generally overhyped wunderkind directors to emerge in the mid 1990s. Of his first four pictures, my favourite was his debut, the diamond-hard little noir film Hard Eight (a.k.a. Sydney , 1996) that...
