Day 15 - A vid (by someone else) that has defined a con or period of time for you

I have a crap memory for time, so not an easy question for me to answer. I'm going with On the Dance Floor (Too many dicks) by [livejournal.com profile] sloanesomething. Star Trek reboot. A critique of gender representation.

This vid had just been posted when I attended Think Galacticon in Chicago in June 2009 (a leftist political SF convention). I was pretty hyper during that con, doing a lot of rapid personal processing in a relatively safe space, and it's weird to look back on that. I'm glad I had the con as a place to do that kind of thing. I remember excitedly talking about this vid to anybody that would listen. I still love this vid! It is great! And bascially, you know, nearly every Hollywood movie is like this-- I think it was [personal profile] coffeeandink said it is 5 men to every woman on the silver screen. Since my life is about 8 women to every man right now (yes, even at work), it's really weird to see so many men in my myths, especially because I am not very interested in men myself at all.

The vid has been talked about a lot:
Political Remix Video
A remix of the vid done to video game footage: Feminist Frequency

(eta; i forgot to unlock this earlier; now it is unlocked!)
