Oh, boy! Tomorrow is the Golden Globes! I’ll be sure not to watch it.
Traditionally an orgy of self-congratulation and puffery, this year’s Golden Globes will have a rather large skeleton at the feast–dozens and dozens of sexual harassment and misconduct accusations leveled at some of the biggest names in show biz (https://www.reuters.com/article/awards-goldenglobes-preview/party-or-not-golden-globes-proves-test-for-hollywood-sex-scandal-idUSL1N1OT1C2).
They want to yell “How great we are!”, while at the same time affirming their commitment to feminism… which has accused their industry of being a plague spot, morally. How are they going to swing it so their jokes don’t fall flat?
For six or seven decades Hollywood has labored feverishly to wipe out all traces of Christian sexual morality in America, with enthusiastic support from Democrats, the teachers’ unions, and the–ahem!–universities. Really, who can deny it? Movies, TV shows, commercials–it’s been all sex, all the time.
And then they’re astonished when all sorts of people start behaving like they’ve been told they ought to behave–as insatiable sex maniacs? That surprises them?
We live in an exciting time, when people want to be prudes and libertines simultaneously. I mean, there are movies and TV shows out there whose content would make a hyena blush. And somehow attendance at movies is way, way down. Go figure.
And they’re amazed that those who make these movies behave like the characters in them? Here at Chez Leester, we’ve turned off movies after just ten or fifteen minutes, they were so vile.
Hollywood has sown poison seed, and now they have to eat the fruit of it. Bon appetite.
They’ll just blame all the bad stuff on Trump and then (a) congratulate themselves on being virtuous enough to rise above all the bad stuff that Trump has inflicted on them, and (b) bravely hold back tears about how they’ve been persecuted for their virtue.
How humorous that the Golden Globe participants will make jokes about Trump saying he is a genius when Trump is so much smarter than they are it isn’t even funny. One movie out with “buzz” is about an older man seducing a young boy. Are those “creatives” tone deaf or what.
It’s all sex, all the time, and in every conceivable variation except for monogamous marriage.
Their approach doesn’t seem to yield good results. Decades of sexual freedom has it brought any good fruitage.
This sexual “freedom” has actually turned into a kind of slavery. But sin usually does enslave, doesn’t it?
Indeed. We never heard about sex addiction until fairly recently. There were a handful of people with huge problems, but that was quite rare. No any more.
By calling it “addiction,” they avoid calling it sin.
