Ugh, Russell Crowe. I don't think that all older women want to play the ingenue. I think that Hollywood has a fucked up precedent where even middle aged male characters are usually played by actors who are an appropriate age, 40s/50s/60s, and they're coupled up with a female character who is purportedly the same age,…

I think she didn't mention it because it's obvious. Terrorist acts are something terrible and there's no excuse for any act of violence, specially murder.
But, like her, some of us get actually scared of the enthusiasm people feel when mocking marginalized communities that are not safe either. Because a lot of people…

This whole thing is just... the fact that it is literally not illegal to say something doesn't mean that we need to praise the people who say them. I'm not really here for "satire" that pokes fun at marginalized communities. And obviously, whatever I might think of offensive satire the penalty should never be summary…

can i say (with the obvious caveats that this was a horrible tragedy), the rush of so many news outlets to praise the work of Charlie Hebdo seems weird to me? Because I'm not really cool with supporting hateful imagery in the guise of "satire" or whatever the fuck they thought they were doing.

Last night, just as I hit the bed, I thought "Speak Cheesy" and I decided not to run back the computer to try and get the joke in first. Hell of a time getting to sleep after that.

Can someone please Gone Girl this dude?

"Wallace, maybe we shouldn't go to Russia on holiday this year. Fancy another stay at that lovely B&B in Stilton?"

I also wanted to mention Something's Gotta Give and how that movie was such a big deal because it blasted the whole problem with this double standard. Jack Nicholson hooking up with Amanda Peet was part of the "norm" in their world but the idea of Keanu Reeves lusting after Diane Keaton was so absurd that even her…

That's right. When men are that age, they don't pretend to be hard-hitting action heroes: they just have themselves digitally remastered into an idealized youthful form.

Blah blah blah...women...vain...blah blah....youth....blah blah nobody went to see my last three movies...blah blah blah.....

I suspect the problem is not that women won't "act their age," but that there are so few roles written for women in their 40s, 50s and beyond in which they can be protagonists. Men who are Crowe's age are seen as pivotal, sexual, and dynamic; too often women at that age are relegated to being the helpful wife, the…

If you are trying to pretend that you're still the young buck when you're my age, it just doesn't work.
