The Kids Are All Right: A New Movie... is it really progressive?

Interesting stuff from the New York Times.  I really want to go see this movie, however I am skeptical about what it will say about same-sex families.  The authors in the debates bring up some pretty interesting points.  You should check it out!

Also, go see the movie!  Here is the preview:  The Kids Are All Right Trailer

NYTimes.com - Room for Debate:  It's a long way from "Brokeback Mountain" to "The Kids Are All Right," the critically praised film about a lesbian couple played by Julianne Moore and Annette Bening that is now being released nationwide.  As A.O. Scott wrote in his New York Times Review, the movie "starts from the premise that gay marriage, an issue of ideological contention and cultural strife, is also an established social fact."


That premise has been embraced by television for almost a generation, with gay characters and couples and parents dating at least to the dads depicted on "The Tracey Ullman Show" in the late 80's.  What effect have these portrayals played in gaining social acceptance for same-sex families? What role does a movie like "The Kids Are All Right" play in changing social perceptions?

Hip Hop Radio - My Latest Adventure

I am currently interning with 90.3 KRNU, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's radio station. During a recent conversation with my station manager, I was discussing my love for beats and flows in hip hop music and culture.  The discussion ended the offer to host the hip hop specialty show next semester.

I have yet to come up with a name for my show and I am currently taking suggestions.  I would like to tie this into my blog: posting playlists, artists, lyrics, current hip hop news, interesting facts and leave room for comments and suggestions.

If you are unfamiliar with KRNU, you should check us out!  Here are links to our website and online streaming feeds as well as a few other places to keep up with KRNU news.
