Excited for #HeatedRivalry? Same, as our recent quantitative analysis in Palabra Clave revealed that the presence of queer characters in sports fiction on TV is minimal (only 1.5%!) and being mostly relegated to secondary roles: palabraclave.unisabana.edu.co/index.php/pa... Can it change for good?

Our paper for @ijoc-usc.bsky.social explores that female characters in #sports fiction remain invisible, objectified, have secondary roles, and are underrepresented as players, coaches, and managers: ijoc.org/index.php/ij...

So, Russian media have reported that the broadcast of the controversial Intervision Song Contest on 20th of September was "availiable to 4 billion people", no less. Exaggerating is no surprise here, but I'd like to fact-check these ridiculous 4bn headlines:

I love Lena Dunham’s work and #TooMuch was just my cup of tea. I love it for the relatable protagonist going through emotions, losses, and not aligning. I love it for addressing real social issues - modern relationships’ crisis, parenting our pets, overcoming jealousy and pain from a breakup

Hear me out… Greta Gerwig can potentially play Agatha Christie - it might be an anthology series of a kind? Kind of like “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, but with Agatha the Narrator?

#Sinners were entertaining and had great cinematography but tried to bite off more than I could chew. It was hard for me not to mumble “male power fantasy”, “blaxplotation” and “Jezebel”. Would love to dig deeper into the references I missed and read black feminist critique on the film

I feel uneasy about Woman in a Dressing Gown (1957). On the one hand, contrary to JL Godard, I liked Yvonne Mitchell’s performance of clumsy (my guess) #ADHD protagonist. On the other hand, it has lazy ending and character development that leaves awful aftertaste

Netflix's #Adolescence has brilliant acting and subtle writing, though I do struggle with Rashomon-ish fragmentation, camera constantly slipping away from one character to another. Yes, it rhymes with the impossibility of tracking your offspring 24/7. And yet… it gave me motion sickness of sorts 🥲

The Children’s Hour (1961) is so bold and beautiful - I can never get tired of Shirley MacLaine or Audrey Hepburn, and when they’re on screen together it’s pure magic

Hot Frosty is so fun! Gags are both absurdist and meta and I’m here for it. My favourite part is the community willingly accepting that the only good new man is obviously a miracle and magical doing rather than a norm

I’ve enjoyed #Wicked so much that now (in my usual pessimistic manner) I worry about the forthcoming Part II being a disappointment
