i'm trying this without swearing
I've been lectured by a few folks on using the word "hate" as rampantly as I do, but often times I mean it. I feel strongly. About everything. Ever.
But I think this usage is warranted: I don't think there's anything I hate worse than Desperate Housewives. I watch nothing on the three major networks but Supernanny, or whichever has Miss Jo (or whatever), because it's all crap. It's crap. Cuhhhrrap. It's crap. When I heard the title "Desperate Housewives" the first time I wanted to break a window, I knew it'd be a gem of misconception and ripe old white woman sexism and other stupid junk. And housewives? Really. Hey gay men writing this crap - QUIT IT. I'm starting to think these are the doods that hate women. We're not at a point where we can comfortably bring housewives up. Yes, educated women are leaving the workforce voluntarily, because they're forced out by a variety of pressures, internal and external. So go away.
Anyway, I have my TV up at school but no cable, but I do have rabbit ears, and the only channel I get is ABC, which is the local news I prefer (WTAE whaaat), and I just saw a big-bootied (you might say an exaggerated booty tooch (see America's Next Top Model)) piece of crap ad for the next DespWives season. It had the ladies doing that open-mouthed kind of modeling that makes you look like you're dumb, like you haven't a thought in your head, like you're oblivious to the world and all you do is sit around and look good, then walking down a street in gorgeous gowns. Oh, well Nicolette Whatevvy had on lingerie, or whatever. And let me tell you, yeah. Yeah, that's a new image for women to think about. For sure. It's totally FRESH. FRRRRRRRESH.
What that does to older women I don't even know. It doesn't put any pressure on me because that's not the life that I strive for, but for a woman who wants to get to that superficial point - being wealthy and looking pretty and, I don't know, juggling men? What do these brats do? - what, I mean, what do they think, or what do they not know that they think? When I complain about my mom watching these ridic reality shows (of course I love all of mine) and orig TV like DespWives she's like "It's an escape from my real life." And I'm like WHY DO YOU WANT TO ESCAPE FROM YOUR REAL LIFE??!!?! WHAT is so awful about it? We shouldn't be escaping, we should be CHANGING and DOING! No entertainment's not a bad thing, but God, make it constructive or support some quality! I'm all for the entertainment industry, I've taken a break from it but I still consider myself a filmmaker in the making. I made shorts in high school. Music and movies and books and pop cult are my thing, but I keep it classy. You don't see me on Perez Hilton, though I will look over a shoulder (and it's usually a gay one, lits). And that's my limit. God, that shitty website is a whole other post and I've got homework. I swore, I had to make a point.
Although I'm sure my mother would disagree with me that the ent I enjoy is of a far higher quality than hers, it's usuals the stuff flying under the radar on the independent circuit that's the superior product. Apolos, but it's furreal.
I guess I want to encourage ladies not to disappear into some fantasy world of cliche and shit, and where are the women of a darker hue on DespWives? Wasn't it Alfre Woodard who guest starred? I can't take another thing like Knocked Up (it's weird how I get so worked up about language when I use such harsh words but that offends the shit out of me, I'm not knocked up you dick I'm keeping the human race going) where abortion is totally out of the ques. I'm not a big fan of, I can't even remember his name. Judd Apatow. The funniest shit about 40 Year Old Virgin were the scenes in his work with Paul Rudd and the Indian guys and in the car with Apatow's hilarious wife. The rest of the movie was mediocre. And guess what?
Seth Rogen isn't funny. He doesn't make me laugh. I don't find him charming, I thought he was annoying in 40yo Virg. Now dealies.
Although I am a huge fan of Superbad, co-written by Rogen, for reasons that should be obvies to the gen public. People calling that movie a "gross out" are over 40 or they haven't seen it at all. Kids need to go see that shit. Not little kids, teenage kids. The word "fuck" shouldn't gross you out, especially since you probably taught it to your fucking kids in the first place. This is my favourite modern teen comedy of all timesies. And Evan and Becca are Canadians in real life, haaay!
I digress! I'll get around to putting up a list of media approved by this bitch soon.
