THIS SCENE WAS LITERALLY THE TEXTBOOK DEFINITION

#you know it’s bad when you’re less progressive than a show from the 60’s

The hashtag by theblueboxonbakerstreet: NAILED IT.

The fact that everyone is drawing attention to it is what’s making it gratuitous. Tumblr people take every single instance that’s even remotely “socially unjust” and completely warps it into something it’s not.

That and, it’s very clear, that all the people who complain about instances like this obviously don’t know how to cinematic business works. They assume that every single decision going into the movie is in the director’s hands, when ultimately, it’s the production company that has the final say what has to be in the movie. The movie industry is exactly that: an industry. Production company corporate heads are no different than ones to say, an oil company. They want money. They see what will generate the most viewers for a movie (such as sexual promiscuity) and demand it in a movie. The movie industry is an industry. Don’t blame a director for having a corporate hag breathing down their neck threatening to pull the plug at any moment.

Remember two weeks ago when Benedict Cumberbatch said that a shirtless scene with him in it was cut, and everyone bitched because they wanted to see it? How in any way shape or form is this any different? People got genuinely MAD that they couldn’t see Benedict Cumberbatch shirtless, and yet everyone is up in arms because Alice Eve got to be? If women truly are supposed to be equal to men, then there shouldn’t be any discrepancy between who’s allowed to be shirtless and who’s not.

Also, Alice Eve commented in an interview saying that she was excited to show off her body in the film. She said that she worked extremely hard for it, and was pleased to have people be able to see it.

Stop turning minuscule details that don’t even serve the main point of a project into things that they are not. By focusing on the seemingly “socially unjust” aspects of a picture, it proves that you are not grasping the true point of the film, and are in fact creating sexism and racism and any other isms by applying them to situations where they are truly not present.

THANK YOU JESUS YES THANK YOU SOCIAL BLOGGERS JUST STOP

I initially thought this was a throw away scene to show off Alice Eve’s body (and what a nice body at that), until I realized that it was meant to show off Kirk’s character, not her body. Kirk is a crazy womanizer. He really likes the ladies. Did you really expect that he wasn’t going to turn around when a gorgeous woman was changing behind him?

Also, Alice Eve can show off her body if she damn well wants to. She agreed to the shot. Isn’t trying to dictate that she can’t show it off in itself a step back from progressiveness?

Another mind = blown moment from I love Space :

One of Herschel’s most profound images, in this photo the telescope shows us the very distant universe…some 10-billion light-years away. Every speck of light is an entire galaxy.
