Hollywood And The F Word

I walked out of Money Monster last night. I walked out of The Big Short a month ago.Both Hollywood treatments of Wall Street scandals and indigenous characters were devalued of entertainment value for me because of the constant use of the F..word.George Clooney headed up the Jodie Foster directed film.Actually Clooney opened the picture in the head. Talking through the bathroom door to a dilapidated Julia Roberts.Her enormous mouth is only good when smiling. She didn't smile at the door of the rest room. From the start to fifteen minutes later when I threw in the towel the F.. word was in constant use. The same was true of The Big Short which lasted for me one half hour.What is it about the F..word? That present day Hollywood writers resort to its use gratuitously ? Well. It pads the script . A writer can count on the countless use of the F..word to fill out the dialogue.Director John Ford said acting was in the eyes.Maybe when one can't act they substitute expletives for dramatic acting effect.Bathroom scenes are another standard for placement in modern movies.I wonder why.Do Hollywood soirees include following guests to the restroom to keep continuity in the conversation? Maybe when screen writers combine the F..word with bathroom scenes, vomiting and gratuitous sex it adds up to sign language. After all our schools don't teach critical and nuanced thinking so vulgar sign language at a ultra low level makes contact with the morons that pay to see these kind of Hollywood movies.

Jerusalem : Semitic City Of Religions And Their Lies

Judaism, Islam and Christianity have important historical sites in Jerusalem. Jews have the remains of their temples. Islam has the Dome of The Rock where Mohammed supposedly ascended into heaven. The Christians revere Jerusalem as a place where Jesus taught. They were all Semitic. The eighteen century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said, " A Semite is the master of the lie." And when it comes to religions, do we want a Semites word on its source of validity? I think not. Many Semites ended up in Hollywood.I think there is a connection between selling tickets to movies and selling indulgences via religions and collecting donations.Another way of putting is , "Why are so many religions related to Semitic peoples?". I smell a rat.

New Vampire Movie Plot : Vampires Should Try A Little Tenderness

The peculiar tastes of vampires has long been documented . Bram Stoker's 'Dracula" was actually predated by ancient references to vampires going back to the Greeks. Wouldn't you suspect that a Greek was there first?  Today our meager culture has a vibrant vampire fixation.There is a sensationalistic tidal wave of vampire entertainment offerings . It may be about blood but it is also about sex. And it is also about male and female relationships. Isn't time we faced these facts in a more adult fashion and with less violence particularly male violence against women?  Why don't the impresarios of the vampire experience offer a twist on the whole meilieu of vampires and blood and violence and sex phenom? How about a vampire who adjusts his appetite to womens blood only during their menses? With the collection point at the obvious. At that point the gals wont mind what the guy looks like or what he's up to because it works for the woman at different levels. Plus the gals are not roughed up and the whole affair is sustainable.
