The Matrix trilogy was recently on television and I was reminded of how out of hand that trilogy got (the first one is fine). Did the writers lose their minds on parts 2 and 3, or were they just off that day? And what’s the deal with this raver nonsense in every facet of “future” life in the Zion society? You’re telling me that people who are being exterminated by machines hundreds of years in the future narrow their style down to rave music and 80’s leotards? Are you kidding me? The acting and story got bad enough, but Matrix two and three peppered on the tight leather and club attire a little too much.
My theory is that the writers are all glo-stick waving morons who actually think that rave music and leather will be around forever. Crummy.
For individuals like Vin Diesel, Ben Affleck, Paul Walker, Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Angelina Jolie, and the rest of the ridiculous VIP list who claim to be “actors”, my question is this: Are these people serious? Are they joking when they appear in public and wave to audiences while blaring their corny smiles and arrogant walks in their designer uniforms? (don’t call me a hater damnit) But do they whole heartedly believe in their own hype, and as in hook, line, and sinker? Or do they just do it for show? Please tell me it is just for show, please.
And when they are interviewed talking about their latest “film” (translation: terrible and unoriginal remake) that they do simply for the money, which I can’t blame them for, are they actually serious about saying the new project is exciting and the greatest thing ever? Do they actually think these films are quality? Are they serious when comparing these new crap films to the old classics such as The GodFather, Casablanca, StarWars, Citizen Cane, or the several Kubrik (RIP) masterpieces that had surfaced throughout the past decades?
Someone please tell me…ARE THEY BEING SERIOUS? Has Hollywood finally lost its mind for good? These “stars” are more of a joke than any other group of celebrities on the globe, and to add insult to injury, they claim to know what is best for the world. Hell, some of them are even involved with the U.N. (unfortunately that was probably one of the better moves the U.N. has made this century). But I digress; I just want to meet one of these people behind the scenes, with no cameras, no video, and just ask them… ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I won’t mind if they are just pretending. Sometimes I pretend. I know I am nothing…do they realize that deep down they are nothing too?
What’s going on in our society with this obsession of laziness and new ways to NOT walk? Have we lost our minds? We can’t walk anymore? It’s not good enough that we have the biggest or fastest cars, we also need to have the closest parking space every where we go? What happened to walking? What happened to being thankful for the legs that we were blessed with? Do you realize how many people can’t walk and wish they could? And to show how thankful we are for our legs, we find new ways not to use them. God forbid we break a sweat moving our fat a**es from one spot to the next. Is it efficiency or laziness?
And what is this Hollywood obsession with Segways? You need a “Segway” to get around now? Is that where we are headed? As if we haven’t become an obese enough country…now we need another reason not to exercise.
Get up and move a little. Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Everyone jokes around about the infamous “comb over” as if it is globally accepted as a ridiculous style, so I’ve never figured out how so many guys can wear this hairstyle with a straight face. I have to give it to them, they have much more guts than I do. I am usually the first to say that we should not be concerned with our appearance so much, but when it comes to the comb over…come on! Give it up. If or when I do lose my hair on top, I pray that I will be wise enough just to simply shave my damn head and not put people through the punishment of seeing some slicked over scraps of hair in my last attempt of denial. And why do people who have this hairstyle think it looks acceptable? Will someone please tell me? Why would you leave hair on the side at all? It looks like a clown. Ri-diculous. As far as I’m concerned, the comb over goes in the same category with the bolo tie and parachute pants. Time to stop the insanity. If you know anyone with a comb over, tell them what time it is.
Below is an entertaining video on these absurd comb over fiends.
The lead singer of this band is now hosting an independent style interview show on VBS.TV called “Soft Focus”. He is as annoying as hell and a terrible host, but the show gets some good interviews like Ian Mackaye from Minor Threat and even Henry Rollins was on there. Cheers.
