Olympic Channel Segment on Yuzuru Hanyu and the 3.11 Earthquake and Tsunami
Double Olympic figure skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu was forced to flee his local ice rink when a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, seven years ago today. His story: pic.twitter.com/V7XPHTuDRd
— Olympic Channel (@olympicchannel) March 11, 2018
Today is the 7 year anniversary of the 3.11 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Olympic Channel has posted a video on 2x Olympic Champion, Yuzuru Hanyu, and his experience with it. Yuzuru was only 16 and training at his home rink in Sendai. He had to run out of his collapsing rink while he was still wearing his skates without the guards on. He stayed in a school gymnasium, which was used as an evacuation center, for 3 days with this family. The water pipe in his rink got destroyed and his rink was closed, so he trained by doing ice shows across Japan. By searching "3.11" on https://fukko.yahoo.co.jp, 10 yen will be donated for every search.
This is a video from March 2016 where Yuzuru reflects on 3.11. He visits the last home standing near the Sendai airport and meets the owner. He also visits the school he and his family stayed in.
"Requiem of Heaven and Earth (from Requiem for the Great East Japan Earthquake 3.11)" was his exhibition piece for the 2015-2016 season and a beautiful tribute to those affected by the earthquake.

Is Black Panther Islamophobic?
This movie joins many others in normalising a stereotypical depiction of Muslims | Faisal Kutty https://t.co/tl3QTzyHQm
— Middle East Eye (@MiddleEastEye) February 25, 2018
The author argues that the film unintentionally bolsters Islamophobia by depicting a scene where T'Challa rescues a truck of girls abducted by a Muslim man who upon being freed remove their headscarves.
He says that this portrays a negative image of Islam/Muslim men without providing a positive alternative.
He argues that for educated audiences this may not be a problem, but for average viewers it neglects that most African Muslims oppose the actions of Boko Haram and contributes to stereotypes of Muslim men being predatory.

Writer/director Julia Hart talks about filming Fast Color with Gugu Mbatha-Raw
Have I mentioned how very much you need FAST COLOR in your eyes and your hearts and your minds and your lives? Superpowers. Smart, sensitive storytelling. @juliahartowitz directing @gugumbatharaw. #SXSW tonight. Don't miss it. https://t.co/yE1Q7ceoy0
— jen yamato (@jenyamato) March 10, 2018
- Fast Color is an indie film about a superhero on the run
- Hart felt that male superhero films were destructive so she wanted to make a movie where a woman's superpower was creation
- She felt her strongest when pregnant so she wanted to make a film where a mother was a literal superhero not a figurative one
- Her and her husband watched Beyond the Lights and fell in love with Gugu. Calls her the most talented actress of her generation
- Hart is white and she wrote the film to be non-race specific but thought casting Gugu and other black actresses to play her family added dimension to the film
- Thinks that more casting needs to be colour blind in the sense they cast the best actor for the part and actually look at poc for roles that don't specifically demand it
- Fast Color is currently playing at SXSW
#FastColor is a beautiful blessing of a film centered around three generations of Black women. Stunning performances, gorgeous visuals, a riveting story and literal Black Girl Magic!! #SXSW#BGNSXSW

'Stranger Things': An update on the onset verbal abuse allegations
The Duffer brothers said in part, "Due to the high-stress nature of production, tempers occasionally get frayed, and for that, we apologize." https://t.co/AxA456pBgG
— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) March 11, 2018
Netflix and the Duffer Brothers released separate statements regarding the allegations made by Peyton Brown, a crew member on Stranger Things. The Duffer did not outright deny the allegations, but they do take issue with the accusation that the verbal abuse was aimed specifically at female crew members. The Duffer's statement reads:
“We are deeply upset to learn that someone felt uncomfortable on our set. Due to the high-stress nature of production, tempers occasionally get frayed, and for that, we apologize. However, we think it is important not to mischaracterize our set, where we believe strongly in treating everyone fairly regardless of gender, orientation, race, religion, or anything else. We remain totally committed to providing a safe and collaborative working environment for everyone on our productions."
Netflix states that they performed an internal investigation and found no evidence of "wrongdoing."
Lori Grabowski, who served as the script supervisor throughout both seasons of the show, came out in support of Peyton Brown's claims after so many fans called Brown a liar. Her Instagram post is below:
She has also been answering people's DMs on Instagram, and said that many of the main actors witnessed the abuse, and much of the abuse "was done right in front of the children."

- tl;dr version: Santino Hassell is a well known M/M romance author who claimed to be a bisexual single dad with a difficult past and medical issues, for which he received donations from people. Allegations have come out that Santino Hassell might actually be a persona created by married couple Alicia Torres and Marvin Hassell (with Alicia being the author and her husband posing for the author's photos) who have no medical problems. More people are coming out with allegations of gaslighting and bullying committed by the author, who has been dropped by their publishing house and agent.

After reigning atop the music industry for a decade, Taylor Swift suddenly seems under review https://t.co/3TNDXjLIby
— The New York Times (@nytimes) 11 marca 2018
- Taylor has never been a standout singer,
- she was able to include rapping on her songs and no one accused her of "acting black",
- disliking her used to be sexist,
- she doesn't seem to translate to hip-hop dominated pop easily,
- she still acts like a teenager,
- her act feels desperate in current climate.

Greta Gerwig Is Planning "Spiritual Sequels" to Ladybird and Sacramento
Greta Gerwig is taking a creative cue from Elena Ferrante https://t.co/ypih09emAb
— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) March 11, 2018
– In the first episode of Studio A24's new podcast, Ladybird's Greta Gerwig said she would like to make more films about Sacramento. Gerwig told director and fellow podcast guest Barry Jenkins she's taking a cue from Elena Ferrante, “I would like to do a quartet of Sacramento films. She wrote these four books that took place mainly in Naples. They’re so great and I thought, ‘Oh, I’d like to do that.’”
– Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels is a four part book series centered on Elena Grecco and Rafaella Cerullo, following their lives from childhood to adulthood, all set in an area just outside Naples, Italy. The books were recently commissioned in 2017 for an HBO adaptation.
– Ladybird didn't explore all of Gerwig's hometown:“There’s still lots of different parts of Sacramento that I’d like to explore, too. I feel like I have the privilege of being from a place, and I’m really from that place. My family’s still there, and my friends are still there. I feel like I can actually speak to it with some feeling.”
– Gerwig has spoken about Ladybird-esque sequels before but it sounds like a plan might be starting to form.
Maybe Greta Gerwig will get a California tax credit when she makes the sequel to @LadyBirdMovie. Kudos to one talented kid. https://t.co/zeoLdlIyqg
