Alia Shawkat and Amber Tamblyn were both on a panel at the Women’s Convention. I was fully impressed with both of their contributions to the discussion that day, and especially Alia.
the story was —- difficult for me because the characters are so hard to empathize with, they create so much chaos. i dunno — and the way they treated their mother — yeah — i had issues with the family :\
Did you try Blueing yourself?
As much as I love a good (bad?) pun, I cannot in good conscience star this opinion. Get the Fünke outta here.
I got Amazon Prime last year, so finally a chance to watch Transparent. Then the allegations got out and now I find it impossible to watch the show because I only see an asshole (not literally. Well...). Minor side effect of someone’s harassing behavior. I quite like the show but can’t see past this. At least Woody…
For years, our greatest scientists, philosophers, et al have been pondering this mystery & searching for the answer to no avail. One of our universes biggest mysteries.
You take that back. They did the best damn Gob of any show from the mid-2000s.
David Cross has always been trash.
Why is Amber Tamblyn with David Cross?
Yeah, as if the cocaine was a choice he’d love his daughter to make as long as she had a healthy body image. Go back to your shed, tool.
Whoa, tough call there. I’d say no: if you don’t have direct female relations, you’re entitled to what belongs to you, which is all women’s bodies everywhere at all times
Hmmm. I am a woman but I lack a daughter or sisters. Should I care about women? I do have a mother, after all.
True, but I dont think young boys are in any danger of emulating Robert Deniro and gaining 60 lbs to look cool. Society is obsessed with women looking a certain way and thats a bigger issue.
I thought the same thing, but to be fair to this article, those discussions get framed in a completely different context that this one. Like, all of those actors are celebrated for that physical commitment to the role and no interviewer prefaces their questions with concerns that the actors’ weight fluctuations…
Or on the other spectrum, Christian Bale for “American Hustle” and Matt Damon for “The Informant”. I really think the author is reaching for a sexism angle. If any major actor (male or female) gains or loses weight for a role, it becomes a story. People still cite DeNiro’s famous weight gain for “Raging Bull”.
“This is not the question you think it is!” he adds.
Oh shit, I just realized I don’t have a daughter OR sisters; ergo I can’t be concerned about women at all.
