Forgotten Island


So a new Dreamworks movie trailer has hit the internet, and it seems to be about the friendship between two Filipino girls! I have never delved into the mythology of the Philippines, but from what has been shown and what some people have said, it seems really fun. I have seen plenty of support for this movie, and the art seems beautiful. It is created by the same people who made Puss in Boots the Last Wish, which was an AMAZING movie. The art and story were so grand and really established a new bar for films. I am excited for this movie and really want to see it. The friendship shown seems like lifelong friends who are about to drift apart, and it shows them trying to work through adventure and magic to be together. Plenty of people (and I) have seen the slight amount of queer coding in it, and the potential it has for a lesbian leaning relationship. I do not think Dreamworks planned on that and wants to show an LGBTQ relationship yet, but if it managed to sit that way, I think there would be even more support and love for it. Regardless, I am excited to see how it goes when it comes out, and it is definitely on my list. What are your thoughts?

    I think this movie seems really cool! If it is about the mythology, this is something that I don't think very many people know a lot about, or even know anything about. Having a movie, especially one that seems to be directed towards kids, will definitely spread knowledge about this culture.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
