Is it me or are more and more actresses getting the dead fish eyes super young?
The thousand-yard Weinstein stare?
I reckon it's more of them trying to 'broaden the definition of beauty.'
The last time I saw an actress I found truly beautiful in that classic, timeless way was Alexandra Daddario in the Baywatch movie. Now it's all shoehorned minorities, fat cunts, jews and muslims, the girls with their eyes too far apart...
I honestly don’t think this is so much of a problem, outside the States…
Sure, you have ridiculous shit still, like the casting of Black women in historical roles, but really…
Sophie Cookson (in literally anything), Alexandra Dowling (Musketeers), Tamla Kari (Inbetweeners, IPCRESS, Musketeers) or indeed most French or Italian cinema - the dead-eyed fish look just isn’t so much of a thing, lol…
But yeah, I just… Don’t really watch Hollywood so much, anymore, so I don’t come across it as much, lol…
The fish-eye thing we don’t see in Aus, that’s true. But when was the last time you saw an ad or TV show here with no gays, chubsters, blacks or arabs?
The Medi-bank (private health insurance) ad celebrating a morbidly obese Indian woman is the perfect example. We truly live in 'Burgers?' world.
I freely admit that I almost literally only watch live sport, on TV, these days (in normal weeks, when the Queen hasn’t just died, lol), so I probably don’t see this as much, per se…
I can’t be effed watching series, and I don’t watch movies on TV, generally, lol, so… I totally agree. I just tend to avoid it, lol.
And I don’t bother with Netflix. Stan/Paramount+ I might, but again, that’s purely for sports purposes, and I choose to spend my money on other stuff, anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
So sometimes I’ll go shopping, or to a live match, and only see the “woke zeitgeist” I’ve largely missed out on then, ha…
Though sometimes I do watch the TV news or read the newspaper, and holy shit, the levels of woke there are worse than just about anything you will ever see in real life, unfortunately…
Wait, you’re Australian as well??
Ah, well then, that changes things…
Yeah, this is true (apart from the occasional car ad - the fucking Korean companies are pretty good at avoiding that).
Especially on SBS, ABC and 10 (owned by CBS, for the rest of you out there), naturally…
Fortunately, I barely watch those, so i don’t see it so much, anymore, lol.
So you are right. I just deliberately try to avoid that shit. Which is, I admit, impossible, if you watch current-day AFL football, unfortunately…
But yeah, when you have a public broadcaster (in this case, SBS) making a series literally about the “history wars”, I admit that we are just as bad, unfortunately…
Rather than going into any “conventions of attractiveness”, I think you might be onto something here, honestly…
I think it comes from, let’s say, selling your soul, so young, and becoming an empty vessel for whatever MegaCorp-TM wants you to become, from then on…
You basically lose all autonomy, even in your life outside of cinema…
Much like KPop…
Yeah, it's why I rolled my eyes at all the 'stunning and brave' #MeToo shit.
It might have been stunning and brave for a Hollywood starlet to open her mouth (for reasons other than Cohen Goldbergstein to stick his dick in) when a casting couch bang occurred in exhange for a job, but to come out 20 years after the fact when you've hit the wall and all the roles have dried up? Nah.
Imagine all the young actresses who would've been spared molestation at the hands of these fucks, had Rose McGowan et al actually blown the whistle at the offset.
That happens when you have to entertain Weinstein's diseased cock in your mouth, and then live with the bad decision you made. He has Fournier's Gangrene. Go ahead, look it up, I dare you.
