"Westworld"

[marylander1940]

 

At the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles on Saturday, HBO’s new president of programming, Casey Bloys, felt his first whiplash sting from TV critics and reporters, who are ever on the alert for what could be perceived as demeaning portrayals of women. It started out with a question about something you may have already seen: The first episode of a current HBO series, The Night Of. Bloys was asked about the insensitivity of showing the miniseries’ murder victim — “a beautiful woman,” in the phrase of the questioner — as a bloody corpse that had been stabbed multiple times. The reporter wondered whether this potential insult to viewers passed through editing because women are “underrepresented” in writing staffs filled with “men stuck in a different time.” (Rather bizarrely, this member of the press also suggested a palatable alternative would have been a “hot guy” corpse, presumably because historically TV hasn’t killed nearly as many males with great abs exposed.)

Yes I believe all things should be equal. Bring on the hot male Corpses.

 

I can't wait for Westwood. I remember watching the original and having the hots for Yule Brenner. A brilliant idea for a series IMO. With Anthony Hopkins staring you just know it's going to be good.

Exactly, after all is up to us to watch it or not.
