I have become so wildly uninterested in almost all celebrity gossip over the past several years? I just want actors to do their acting and be cute on red carpets and charming in interviews and otherwise I don’t seem to give a flying goddamn about their personal lives anymore
I mean sure I wanna know if somebody’s gay (hooray!) or Republican (banish them!) but it doesn’t go much beyond a basic acknowledgment of said fact. “OK!” At some point the intimacy btwn us the audience & them the stage-clowns seems to’ve become too fluid, too mushy, too much
Maybe I just sound old but it feels like there’s this open sense of ownership over other people’s lives thanks to social media — we’ve allowed ourselves to slip into cracks we don’t belong in and are rotting the wood from the inside. Termite mentality. I mean, I got my own shit!
I love the Movies because I love the art form. I love the stories the screen gives me, with pictures, expressions, language, sound, plays of motherfucking light. All the other shit — awards, contract negotiations, paychecks, who had a shitty day on set— I didn’t sign up for that
Listen, I get that there's a whole business model screaming for the sweet marrow of content sustenance - movies must be declared masterpieces before the credits roll and every second of their making must be masticated to a fine powder snorted before breakfast. Slim Fast Cinema.
I just think movies, and their making, become more interesting with time. Time to stew, time to brew inside our bellies. Is there anything grander than watching a movie change with you with age? You rise to meet it, suddenly you've found each other! Wham bam two taxis on 42nd St
When Gossip becomes historical it gets interesting. When these chapters are written, the players have left the stage. What bloomers Florence Lawrence wore are written in stone -- I can now figure what those bloomers meant. Today's bloomers are too in flux! They change tomorrow!
