Yeah, reading about the beautification of her I was thinking of you and your love for Marrow. I get that Hollywood movies are all about the pretty people, but still. Did I ever link you to this post (http://community.livejournal.com/fanficrants/2557153.html) about creating mutants who have powers that aren't supercool? Oh, and one of the FilmFest showings was Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema (kind of picking up where Celluloid Closet left off and talking about [American] movies that were intentionally queer) and near the end they asked assorted queer actors etc. about what they want to see in gay cinema to come and Alan Cumming said he'd like to see a film in which the main couple aren't all shaved chest men who work in PR etc. but where one is a little overweight for example. This, in turn makes my brain think of a post I saw once where someone was complaining about fanficcers turning Giles all washboardchest etc. instead of letting him be a normally bodied (and yes still v. attractive) middle-aged man.
