They lie for a living for whatever scraps of ends they can get because a shit-pile of something is better than nothing. They ascribe to the motive that if you just say it and walk away or say it over and over, whatever it is, people have no choice but to take it or talk about it. They have no intention of it ever…

Exactly. I’m not meaning to be cynical, but I think the wacky thing that happens with film and entertainment is that we attach feelings to them that we have for their characters or personas. And that’s the great thing about storytelling or music, on one hand. But on the other hand, that’s not really who many of these…

I don’t disagree with you at all. But I am also reluctant to call the majority of celebrities artists. And that’s my point. Would you agree that most of popular culture is not spearheaded by thoughtful, provoking artistry but circus shows?

Ah, I see!

Lol! Yeah... He’s definitely not alone on the list of “why are you a thing.”

I agree, but my point was those aren’t the waters we’re swimming in. Few of them have ever had to validate their motives. The entire hollywood industry is built on the opposite: showmanship. I doubt we’ll ever hear anything remotely useful from these men.

Exactly. There’s a way to convey intent without sounding like an ass. Saying that they were damned if they did and damned if they didn’t is still giving them a pass by implying they don’t even have even have the mental faculties to try. And I mean, maybe they don’t. But they’re not vegetables. I’m sure they talk all…

Because he gets paid for it.

There’s a difference between telling a story in a certain way and answering a question. You mean to suggest he answers every question with “um, ah...”? If she’d asked him who made his suit, I’m sure he’d have a direct thought.

So, off topic, but out of curioisity:

I like a meaningful celebrity as much as the next person, but they’re entertainers! They didn’t get that way by speaking their minds and taking hard stances and effectively contributing to the well-being of mankind. Should they still be held accountable? Absolutely. All the more so because celebrity culture is so…

In another article, the writer seemed surprised that men didn’t even say anything at the ceremony in recognition of the event. Like, why would they? No real pressure has been applied. They’re not at home Googling what all the fuss is about or having come to Jesus moments. They got the memo to wear black and that’s…

I really don’t think most of them pay attention or care. They have publicists and PR people to fill them in on what’s trending. He may tweet all day but that easily exists in a vacuum. You don’t have to do anything other than jump on and do all your own talking. My guess would be that he acts in a show that rates…

Because most of them don’t actually give a shit, I’m sure. It’s hip to be woke. It’s not hip to actually invest time and thought into what on earth you’re doing.

I know. It’s depressing. :-(

Ugggh. So fucked up.

I didn’t know this!

Oh really? I thought she was trying to adult after being with Aronofsky. I guess I’ve been spared whatever it is she’s still doing.

They’ve always been there, it’s just now they have an excuse to be openly awful.

At least she’s not falling over all the time anymore.
