I wonder how filmmakers across the globe must feel, knowing they can never create a better scene than Nightcrawler’s iconic attack on the White House in X2: X-Men United

American Girl Original Historical Character: Karine

Karine Bedrosian • Chicago, IL • 1971-1972

Karine, age 11, is the third-generation Armenian-American daughter of a librarian and rug salesman in Chicago. She is the middle child of three. Karine loves books just like her mother, and wants to be a poet, while also enjoying photography. Her paternal grandmother Armine also lives in Chicago and survived the genocide, coming to Chicago in the early 1920s. (Karine’s mom’s family lives in LA.)

Karine’s grandmother and other relatives don’t like to talk about the genocide and her trauma manifests in Karine’s anxiety disorder. Her anxiety grows worse when her cousin Jacob is drafted into the Vietnam War. Her older brother Dave also considers enlisting when he turns 18, while Karine learns more about the anti-war movement through one of her friends, Debbie Greenspan, the daughter of Jewish activists.

I’d be willing to teach them. Open their minds to great thoughts. Yeah? I’d like them to know the Good Book. Well, the Bible has many lessons for our times.

FREDDY CARTER by Keir Laird for Behind the Blinds

I feel like a complete asshole for saying this. But I wanna say it.

I feel like on these past few years, the internet has been focused on justice for horrible things happening everywhere. The war in Ukraine, the earthquake in turkey/Syria, the women’s rights situation in Iran, the ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

And I feel like every single time Armenia is left out of it. For so long we’ve been attacked. We lost Artsakh after almost a YEAR of the civilians being literally starved by Azerbaijan. And no one said a fucking word.

And it’s like no matter how many people I tell, no matter how many posts I make, no matter how many protests I go to, nobody cares about Armenia.

I learned about ethnic cleansing and genocide before I could multiply. I knew there were entire nations of people who wanted nothing more than to see my entire people wiped out before I knew what a cell was. I go to sleep most nights worrying about my family, terrified that I’ll wake up the next day and find that my country doesn’t exist anymore.

And nobody even cares enough to make a post.

The extent of most peoples knowledge about conflicts in Armenia is “well there was a genocide and then everything was okay again.” If they even know Armenia exists at all.

It’s just. When will it be Armenia’s turn? When will I start seeing people post about Armenia everywhere? When will I see the Armenian flag on lawns and profile pictures and bumper stickers, in solidarity with us? When will Turkey and Azerbaijan be called out for their disgusting actions?

Did you know that the Armenian genocide is the first to be described as a genocide? Did you know that Hitler mentioned Armenia by name? He mentioned us in one of his speeches, describing why the holocaust would work, why he would not be punished.

He said, “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

No one. And their silence is deadly.

pride and prejudice is my first film with a happy ending. before, i naively thought they were a cop out, but now i've come to believe that happy endings and wish fulfillment are an incredibly important part of our cultural life. joe wright

THE KING AND I (1956)

This girl hurt your vanity, that is all, she didn’t hurt your heart! You have no heart! You’ve never loved anyone and you never will.
