To Cal: I have heard of an off-switch on television sets. But televisions is not the discussion it is rather the Ac ademy awards as representative of a industry. And furthermore what it means when the award ceremony is presented in such a way as to exemplify the dominant patriarchal paradigm that defines Hollywood. The best way to address problems i s not to shut them off or turn to re-runs but rather to examine what is worng and try to change it. In regards to Unforgiven-the film centers arounda gunman hired to kill a man who cut up a prostitutes face. All the women in the film are prostitutes--so mu ch for positive roles for women in Hollywood. JN, Ithaca
