It's all it is. We've seen this movie a billion times. Let's then be honest with it."<br /><br />So, you have to ask yourself whether taking a major social issue and using it for such purposes is a good or bad idea. Many people, especially women who have lived bad experiences, take this very seriously. Is it right to use their tragedy to make big bucks and a name for yourself in the movies? I would call that exploitation. And that's my honest opinion.<br /><br />Fennell: "My hope would be that everyone universally thought it was the greatest film ever made. And that I was quite a sexy genius...But also I want it to be a film that people enjoy -- that they laugh at, they're shocked by, that they're intrigued by."<br /><br />Is this the way to approach a subject such as female sexual assault? It is hard for me to see how it can be. This sounds like sensationalism, doing shocking things to be talked about, a kind of directorial exhibitionism. And without any intent to make a point beyond that (by the producer-writer-director's own admission) it will do nothing to help women and may excuse and empower men in bad behavior, especially given its easy theme of forgiveness (which may be part of its appeal to Somerby).<br /><br />There has historically been a sense among men that women should have fought harder to protect their virtue, that they are somehow responsible for what happens to them. This seems to further that excuse because it is implicit in Cassie's revenge-seeking that she is not a passive victim (no matter what happens at the end), so women in general are somehow at fault because they let bad things happen to them (and this perhaps also appeals to Somerby, based on his treatment of Chanel Miller).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-65413015379378649872021-02-03T19:32:58.501-05:002021-02-03T19:32:58.501-05:00Thanks for the Springsteen link.

I've never really been a fan of his rock music, but always enjoy the back-porch style from anyone who knows what they're doing.<br /><br />Of course it should be mentioned that your quote was a bit off, but it only changed the meaning slightly:<br /><br />"It's a wide, wicked world, sure a funny place to be..."<br /><br />It was actually, "...sometimes sort of fun place to be.” I think. Maybe I’m wrong.<br /><br />I’m glad that someone like Springsteen can inspire people, because he’s a humanitarian. Music adds to human communication, and it should never be ignored, especially when it educates, informally or not. Dog knows, our mainstream media has very little to do with actually informing us. What else is there, for so many people.<br /><br />Leroy<br />Leroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021120389394278239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-11322212870387183102021-02-03T16:41:38.513-05:002021-02-03T16:41:38.513-05:00Meanwhile, back in real life:

That seems kind of unlikely. Any woman who has ever waited tables becomes an over-tipper.<br /><br />Politicians know better than to be stingy when dining out because the amount is always noted. Look at the news report on Hillary's visit to a fast-food place early in her campaign. They reported that she had brought her own hot sauce, and the exact amount of her tip (which was larger than Miller's). <br /><br />Somerby thinks this shouldn't matter to anyone, but I think it shows both character and competence as a politician. I'll bet Somerby is sensitive on this topic because he himself only leaves 15% (expressed as a rolling average and adjusted by population size).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-49585480026881284742021-02-03T16:28:35.945-05:002021-02-03T16:28:35.945-05:00As the child of liberals, I was always taught that...As the child of liberals, I was always taught that there is dignity in all labor and to respect working people no matter what their occupation.<br /><br />Somerby doesn't like people who earn what he thinks is too much money. And he doesn't like journalists or professors or experts or author or pundits or Democratic candidates running for president, or school administrators (who he suspects of cheating on tests). <br /><br />Working people include those earning less than minimum wage but they also include baseball players and movie stars and cable news pundits. Somerby, if he ever had any sympathy for anyone but himself, withholds it from those making what he considers to be too much money. It would be nice if he would tell us what his cutoff is, so we can better tell who to despise and who to exalt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-26710750111255010822021-02-03T16:21:04.404-05:002021-02-03T16:21:04.404-05:00Somerby is apparently for the working man (when he...Somerby is apparently for the working man (when he is part of a Guthrie song) but not for the working woman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-28673127314886748402021-02-03T16:20:07.967-05:002021-02-03T16:20:07.967-05:00The nerve of a waitress having opinions about her ...The nerve of a waitress having opinions about her political customers!!!

His song is good and speaks to everyman, but it was written during a time in his life when he was a chronic alcoholic, self-medicating for Huntington's Chorea, a fatal degenerative disease that included cognitive decline and disruption of mood. He abandoned his family to do that ever so romantic roaming. His lyrics emerge as much from his own personal problems as from the Great Depression or the Dust Bowl.<br /><br />Navalny is heroic but Woody Guthrie was tragic toward the end of his life. It bothers me that Somerby cannot tell the difference. Meanwhile, someone else in life is bored or rich? Must they be poor or have a fatal genetic disease or challenge Putin in order to have value? Does Somerby think everyone should immediately stop what they are doing and live his idea of a better life, just because Putin failed to execute his plan for Navalny (but has obviously succeeded in his plans for Trump)? <br /><br />Talk about simplistic moralizing, Somerby is the epitome of someone whose values come out of a comic book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-33258446316448526232021-02-03T16:11:23.299-05:002021-02-03T16:11:23.299-05:00Whoa, a convicted (more than once) criminal is sud...Whoa, a convicted (more than once) criminal is suddenly The Great Liberal-Hitlerian Hero.
