9 Reasons Why Zack on Gilmore Girls is the Worst

Image
Of all the men in the Gilmore Girls world, I think Zack was the worst. Here's nine reasons why. I'm currently re-watching Gilmore girls for the umpteenth time, and once more I find myself loathing Zack in particular. Normally we all get caught up in Luke vs. Christopher, Dean vs. Jess vs. Logan, etc, but I think these debates distract viewers from realizing that Zack is the worst Significant Other of all the women in the show. I think the actor Todd Lowe does a great job portraying Zack, so my critique is def not his performance , my issue is the  character of Zack   who is sooo contemptible. In a way, Lowe's performance of Zack is all the more remarkable - when it comes to the Bad Men of Gilmore Girls, Zack rarely tops the list. I think it's because his many flaws are so *shrug* boys will be boys. As viewers I think we're meant to be distracted by the explosive incidents related to Logan's elitism, Mitchum's tyranny, Dean's cheating, Marty's obvio...

Omg She's Racist: A Closer Look at L.M. Montgomery's Work & Life

Image
They say to be critical of the media you love. I put this to the test with my undying love for L.M. Montgomery. In the past five-ish years, I have read and re-read many, many books by beloved Canadian author L.M. Montgomery (aka the woman who wrote the Anne of Green Gables series) including: Anne of Windy Poplars*  Anne’s House of Dreams*  Emily of New Moon  Emily Climbs Emily’s Quest  The Complete Journals of L.M. Montgomery 1889-1900 A Tangled Web  Pat of Silver Bush  Mistress Pat   Jane of Lantern Hill  Kilmeny of the Orchard  The Blue Castle I read/re-read the first three Anne books as a teen*. There are many things about Montgomery's (1874-1942) work that are significant and ground-breaking considering the era they were written in. Not to mention Montgomery herself being such a highly-successful author worldwide given she was both a woman and Canadian! Her work is unique and noteworthy for the followin...

Rookie Mistakes: Innovation vs. Being Uninformed

Image
While innovation may be admirable, it can come off as looking incredibly uninformed. A common, rookie mistake I find in Vancouver’s animation industry is new crew who come in swinging with new ideas, suggestions, and innovations, clearly keen to make their mark on things. While this enthusiasm may be admirable, it can often come off as looking incredibly uninformed and unfocused. The animation industry in Vancouver is a creative one, full of extremely talented, innovative, and inspiring artists. Every studio does things differently, and you may find that some studio cultures are more or less a better fit for you and your working style. Remember that even if you may come into a new role with inspiration and a fresh perspective, you must stay focused on the job you were hired to do.  For example, if you’re in Production, do that, don’t get caught up in planning the studio Holiday party. If you’re an animator, do your shots, don’t spend your time trying to pitch your own show ideas ...
