LOL. The Tom Hardy thing was exactly my take away from that story.
Seriously. I'm not even a Bey fan but damn she's pretty in that picture and I'm pretty sure that I want to adopt Blue Ivy. Teh cuteness.
Yes. It's easy to believe these types of commonsense sexist canards though. I remember my sister and I both seriously dated dudes that were older than us. My boyfriend was about 34 when I was 24 and hers was 20+ years older. My dad told us that if a man hasn't cohabitated by a 'certain age' or had children they will…
"To be fair gay people can very easily benefit if they happen to be rich and white. Sexual orientation doesn't usually come up when your investing in property and businesses."
me too. [insert projectile vomit gif here]
Frankly, I'm more WTF about this write up of the article - is it critiquing the author for a shitty profile or Hathaway for her 'annoying' responses about her Oscar speech or being too much of a method actor as Fantine? I'm a second away from going Chris Crocker on people to leave Anne the fuck alone.
This all day. I'm so sick of the "I'm just human" bullshit. You can call yourself a Martian but if everyone else looks at you and thinks "that's a black girl" you are going to have black girl problems. It's the same with gender which is why transgender people who visually present as a different gender than the one…
I had to read it in high school then again in college. It's a masterpiece IMO. My appreciation of it was helped by a really amazing philosophy teacher who not only talked about the existentialism itself but the political and ethno-racial context of the time. But, like other books you have to read in high school…
Whatever, The Stranger is the best - so much historical context about the Algerians and colonialism all intertwined with the existentialism.
Yassss! MORE MICHAEL KEATON, ALL OF THE TIME, PLEASE.
Jennifer Lopez seems like a really cool person (ideologically), I just wish her singing career didn't exist.
First of all:
She was SO GOOD in Brokeback Mountain. I don't think her performance got nearly the attention it deserved because Heath Ledger, etc. If you know that type of Southern woman then you can see how she just nailed it.
I never got the hate! She seems lovely all the time. People were freaking out about her seeming disingenuous when she won awards but good god, how do you know how to act in that situation? You are in a room with some of your idols, in your 20s getting a major award. All reactions are understandable.
Why would the article inside reference the fact that they borrowed an image from either WWI xenophobic propaganda / or from the original King Kong poster (I posted below) which is widely acknowledged as a colonial racist allegory? Oh, are we still in the school of "racist things are only racist if person INTENDED them…
It's from a WWI poster. More to the point it supposedly influenced the below King Kong poster. But yes, it was pretty common for the Irish, and later in WWII the Japanese and other enemies to be portrayed as barbaric or explicitly ape-like in propaganda. Although, those comparisons never gained the traction of the…
Re: the repetition of the "monkey" slur. Not the point of this story at all but this is why I roll my fucking eyes when people claim not to know about the negro-ape metaphor (especially that they are too young to know about it) whenever yet another famous black person is portrayed as a monkey/gorilla/chimp in a…
That woman is freaking stunning.
I dig the 70s much more than I ever realized. Also, everything Streisand wears in FUNNY GIRL and co-sign Liz Taylor's slip dresses.
