Jude Law

January 10, 2016


What do you look like without all the treatments that you can buy with the money that you have?







I'm sorry that Hollywood continues not to be able to think of something to do with a fat woman than to make her be in a movie of fat/ugly woman jokes, a movie that seems to be pretending not to be about fat/ugly woman jokes because it has people who are portrayed as being mean telling some of the jokes.

I'm sorry that there continue to be fat women who are willing to be in those movies.  I'm sorry that anyone is willing to be in those movies.

That's what I'm getting from the trailer for the Golden-Globe-nominated movie, "Spy"; that it's yet another movie that pretends not to be degrading to women by spoofing all the ways in which the industry is degrading to women, without changing anything.

If I say that one of the reasons that I got my one cat almost 10 years ago was that it had gotten too easy for me to bring a guy home within hours (or less time than that) of meeting him, just because I knew how to do that, it makes me a slut as far as the conglomerate is concerned, right?  I got the cat because the apartment that I had at that time, although it was a nice place, was small enough that I would feel self-conscious about bringing home someone whom I didn't know.  There's nothing like the sound of a cat scratching in cat litter to kill a mood, and I felt like it was time for me to slow down.

Vermont is a small place, and Burlington is a small town.  I wasn't promiscuous, and I never had sex with anyone in that apartment except the person whom I discussed yesterday; however, once someone gets noticed by famous people, other people have a way of crawling out of wherever they've been for five or ten or twenty years to say whatever it is they have to say.  

My cat, who turned out to be a good cat who loves people and had good habits, is a pet who will be old by the time that I am able to have a home for her, if I ever am able to do that. This year, it will be 6 years since the last time that I saw her.




Those are pictures from tonight of part of the IMDb page about nominations and awards for Jude Law.

It looks like it's been a while since he got nominated for a Golden Globe or Academy Award.  He's not nominated this time, either, although "Spy," the movie, is, and Melissa McCarthy is nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.

If Hollywood cared about women as much as the average pet owner cares about his or her pet, the world would be a better place.  That's not saying much for Hollywood, which hates real love in all its forms, from the least important to the most important.  A real feeling or real responsibility, the sort of thing that responsible people try to help their children understand about how to take care of pets; it's all too much for the entertainment industry, which pretends to be about the most noble things in life and not only can't even manage the simplest of them but ridicules anyone who cares about them.

It's sad how much the entertainment industry doesn't know about women, and about life outside of itself and its skewed ideas about reality.  It attacks every woman who doesn't conform to what it already thinks women are or are supposed to be.  Then it tells the world how the world should think about women, and is powerful enough to get an unfortunate percentage of the world to believe things that just aren't true.  Then, young or otherwise impressionable women strive to be what the entertainment industry tells them that they're supposed to be, and young or otherwise impressionable men expect women to embody those constructs.  The negative effects of what it tells men that they're supposed to be are what I talk and write about all day.  

Most of the world has never stopped being misogynist; the entertainment industry is particularly misogynist.
