Have you met kids? It's pretty common for kids, even "normal" kids, to play with toys of the opposite gender. Boys play with dolls; girls play with toy soldiers. Boys put on sparkly dresses; girls put on football helmets.

When you've got a 4 year old boy asking how to kill himself, but putting on a dress makes him feel better, maybe he's on to something.

While I agree it's absurdly complicated, I suspect that gets worse as you get older and more firmly affixed in your pigeonhole. Plus, if Avery decides to undergo physical alteration, whether it be hormone treatment or full surgical reassignment, it goes a lot better if you start that process at or before puberty starts making its own changes.

I saw an interview with Avery Brooks in an oddball documentary ("The Captains", about the captains in all of the various Star Trek shows). He is freaking out there, in a Jack Kerouac hipster kind of way.

Pfft, name one?!


As Empire said, Chuck X, as well as Avery Bullock, Emperor Uriel Septim VII, Gurney Halleck

Another perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQCjQy3q4YE -- "William Shatner gets the crowd exited at the San Diego Comicon 2011 with the infamous shout from Star Trek 2. Here "KHAN!" is screamed and the crowd goes wild! Here, Scott Bakula, Avery Brooks join William Shatner for a panel on the release of their movie premiere called 'The Captains.'" --http://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/ixvbe/william_shatner_leads_3000_people_in_a_massive/c27ihgj

My personal take: the problem with CGI and 3D anmiation (and it's only been exacerbated by the new trend in 3D moviemaking) is it gives the director too much control. Regarding camera placement, instead of employing traditional camera movement, now that in can be placed anywhere, it has been. We get these rollercoaster spins, pans, trucks and zooms that completely disorient the viewer. In "Tron Legacy", do I really need to see the light cycles in profile, hovering only 2 inches off the ground going 100mph to the right, only to vault over the bike and sweep around to the back of it to showcase another light cycle entering the fray? No. Just because you can place the camera inside someone's butt crack doesn't mean you should.

And with CGI, it gives the director too much leeway in exaggerating scale, movement and proportions. Perfect example: In Stephen Sommers remake of "The Mummy" Imhotep screams and his mouth artificially elongates. If you watch earlier in the film, it does so but only slightly, imparting a sense of the supernatural. But by the end of the film, his screams become so overly done, it comes across as comic and bufoonish, as if I was watching a Tex Avery cartoon. That's OK to do in Jim Carrey's "The Mask" because it calls for it. But not in "The Mummy", nor in "I Am Legend". The vampires in "I Am Legend" aren't threatening, they're evil monster meets Stretch Armstrong.

I like Aronofsky's approach to CGI: Use it as sparingly as you can, and only as a last resort.

Hubba Hubba! Aoooogaahhhhhh! *and every other sound the wolf makes in Tex Avery's 'Red Hot Riding Hood'*
