Ms. Cinebitch,
I have no idea why the gays keep barking about wanting
the right to be married. Gay men, what the hell is wrong with you
people? Oh I know one of your arguments . . . the tax break. Well,
you know what? Shut up. Gay men are a household with two “man
incomes,” you don’t need the tax break. Cinebitch digresses. I believe Hollywood loves marriage,
good, bad, gay, straight, and all things in between. Why? Well,
it sure as hell isn’t because the studio heads think love
is important. No, it’s cashmoney. That is what drives them.
So be careful about which movies you spend your money on, because
that is how you send messages to Hollywood. However, what is important for all thinking people
to remember is that the Hollywood image of marriage and relationships
is not a good one. If we accepted the Hollywood definition of healthy
relationships we would all think couples like Tom Cruise and Katie
Holmes have something real. In reality what they have is a relationship
of control: Tom is controlling a woman much younger than himself.
It is a sickness which is running through Hollywood, and as a result
seems normal to much of the younger movie generation. Look, I sound
like someone’s grandma! What about the kids???!! Do I think the idea of marriage in film has changed?
In some ways, yes and in other ways no. Films reflect the culture
in which they are made, therefore they often change with the political
tide. However, I would like filmmakers and studios to take more
responsibility for what their films say about marriage and relationships
in general. I would be much happier with Hollywood if they made
movies about real love in all its glory and ugliness. Love is universally
something we are all looking for whether we admit it out loud or
not. Mbien? Love? |
