Ever since I can remember I’ve heard people talk shit about ageing female entertainers. I grew up listening to music by Fairuz and Sabah (who both have had widespread commentary on their plastic surgeries and natural faces), and I have generally been aware of people like Cher, Dolly Parton, and Madonna since I was…
But that’s not the metric you’re paid by: I’ve no doubt Anthony Hopkins got more than the rest of the cast combined on Westworld, but had about 8 scenes total.
One hell of a lot of the time (most of it) this is perfectly reasonable... but in this case, it seems a fair bit less so.
She dosen’t come off normal...nor nice...she comes off entitled...out of touch...and heartless....
Reminder
I’m so fucking sick of people trashing Madonna. You don’t like her, fine whatever. But I don’t get why it’s ok to call her old, ugly, washed up, crazy, trying to hard...it’s MADONNA. She hasn’t changed who she is almost 40 years and she’s not going to. As women we should applaud her for not giving in to the constant…
Viewers of The Oprah Winfrey Show, my favorite program Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes, or just regular followers…
Oh my god, this.
I talked shit and hate-voted for Hillary. Am I not entitled to criticize a deeply flawed candidate and bemoan the lack of better alternatives?
Interestingly enough, during a recent episode of Westworld I remember going “Oh, huh.” when one of the characters didn’t get raped, and just got gutted (yes, I know.. *just*) instead. But it’s gotten to be such a boring device that you almost expect it, it ends up being a novelty when they don’t go there.
Cowboy sex practically writes itself, too.... c’mon, pardners, let’s get those boys saddled up to portray a little diversity.
Interesting back-and-forth about that! I’ll wager that that guy would NOT have felt comfortable showing a rape scene from the POV of the woman— “too upsetting”, i.e. you lose the titillation factor when you’re not seeing rape from the man’s viewpoint, and it just becomes the awfulness that it is. (He was probably…
Except it’s not just some backstory- rape on screen is often depicted in a graphic, sexualized, and even pornographic manner.
Jesus Christ, I didn’t even know I was pregnant until 6 weeks. The first four you aren’t even actually pregnant!! It’s just your normal cycle at that point. So that’s a 2 weeks window to find out your pregnant, make a decision, and get yourself to a clinic. Aggghhhhh. Fuck everything.
I truly believe male rape is rarely shown and is considered much more disturbing because male rape is considered more obviously wrong. In the minds of many, rape of a woman is not all that wrong—it’s a normal thing that’s just gonna happen sometimes. It can be nuanced, it can be something she really wants, it can be…
Yes and no. I do think that rape and sexual assault is very much a part of the human culture— not just for women or adults. But the way it’s used doesn’t accurately reflect what rape is, who rapists are, and what fallout there is. I find that rape is mostly used in film to manipulate he audience or to take a shortcut…
Come on, like none of those bad hombres wanted to saddle up and ride?
Im not saying its right or wrong just asking a question.
