Lots of links
Oct. 7th, 2015 06:28 pmOne good thing about less than good movies (going by who directed them, I have admittedly no intention of watching this one): they inspire interesting essays. Stonewall being a case in point. There are three essays up already at the excellent website "A Historian goes to the movies", dealing both with the movie and the actual Stonewall Riots, from various angles:
A Butch Too Far: about the movie itself, compared to the historical events.
Saturday Night is all right for fighting: about the five other riot nights the movie skips over, and why they're important.
There's got to be a morning after: what followed the Stonewall Riots.
And some short fanfiction in various fandoms:
Black Sails:
Caution: in which Admiral Hennessey and Alfred Hamilton have a little chat. Great missing scene.
Star Wars
Reasonable Sacrifice: meta-story which offers both good Anakin characterisation and a good explanation for force ghost Anakin's switching appearances in the various editions of Return of the Jedi.
Agent Carter or Captain America or MCU in general:
Loneliness and his friends: in between missions conversation between Howard Stark and Steve Rogers, with Peggy the main subject, well written for what Howard doesn't say as much as for what he does in the light of Agent Carter's season 1 finale.
