The Antihero

Soy existencialista posmoderno profundamente superficial pero chido.

holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this

"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."

—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys

Que si Madonna está muy vieja, que si Ari está muy delgada, que si Britney está loca, que bien chingan, déjenlas en paz y primero véanse en un espejo, que seguro algún detallito tendrán para resolver.

Meryl Streep has fewer interesting films in six decades of steady work than Scorsese has interesting female characters so maybe she should worry about that instead.

[TrueBlueTrue @true_blue_true]

That’s your fantasy too.
“She could have been X” is just another way of replacing her with an image you prefer.
The public decided who she was allowed to be decades ago.
That’s not about Madonna. That’s about us.
Appreciation that comes with conditions isn’t appreciation.

Lily Gladstone is a greater female character and performance in Scorsese’s last film Killers of the Flower Moon than any woman role in a Spielberg and Nolan movie

Madonna has always danced and dressed to shock. She has always pushed boundaries.

Then she got old.

Some men can’t handle Madonna continuing to Madonna whilst getting older. So they use words like “slutty” - to describe a fully clothed woman wearing a Dolce and Gabbana corset and tights.

What these men reveal is that they think a woman should make herself invisible as she ages. Because for these men - a woman being sexually attractive to THEM is what gives HER validity.

They will probably happily consume porn where the women are selected to appear to be underage and see nothing wrong with that because “she chooses to do it” and they can ignore the sexual exploitation of the women they participate in. They perceive “ownership” of these women the moment they click on their screens and these women must behave according to the rules men hold in their minds about women being hairless, wrinkle-free, submissive and sexually complaint.

These men do not measure themselves on the same scale or to the same standards as the women they judge. They can be obese, balding and in their fifties, masturbating to horrendous porn scenarios involving young girls gang raped - but a woman who has “crossed over” into a middle-age wilderness where they no longer wish to use her for their sexual fantasies should disappear from their view.

These men are afraid of older women. They hate them. They particularly hate the ones who insist on being seen. Because women getting older are a challenge to the porn set woman who the men feel they can scroll through, use and discard until the next time. By contrast a woman with wrinkles and aching joints is real - she might say no. She might say “fuck off and tidy yourself up you flatulent potato”.

These men believe that in real life they shouldn’t have to encounter an “ugly” female body with sagging skin and cellulite. They themselves may be balding, their arses are sagging and their bellies hang to their knees but they still believe they operate in an attractiveness economy where their dollars double in comparison to a woman of the same age. They can trade for a woman ten years younger.

So when a Madonna steps forward and carries on doing what she has always done it’s a bit annoying. She isn’t turning them on sexually so how dare she act in a sexual way?! They didn’t summon her and they can’t control her.

The fragility of these men is laughable. Madonna is clearly not fragile - she will perform as long as she can. She loves music and fashion. She’s doing what she thinks she can to maintain her brand. She has always been creative. I enjoyed watching her slightly unravel each day during Covid. She doesn’t know how NOT to be a performer.

I hope Madonna keeps running a little wild and unravelling into later life with abandon. It’s gloriously generous of her to get on stage and show us. She’s like a later life Mustang that men like these can’t throw a rope round. Good for her that she is.

i have three separate hobbies:

1. ​reading books.
2. ​buying and hoarding books.
3. ​visiting bookstores and libraries to admire books.

Just a reminder, The Wolf of Wall Street was the movie that, inarguably, introduced Margot Robbie to a global mainstream audience and turned her into a major Hollywood star. If you guys can't give Scorsese some credit for helping create one of the most memorable breakout female performances of the last decade, by an actress who is now one of the biggest movie stars working today, because you're fixated on whether every one of his films has a female lead, regardless of the quality or importance of the female characters he does write, then I don't know what to tell you 🤷

[Moviegoery @moviegoery]

They’re all brilliant, but for me it’s Nicole Kidman.

She’s the most daring and versatile of the group, and her subtle style of acting is much harder to master than the big, showy performances that usually get the attention.

[Robin 🐛 @Undue_Risk]

Literally his last film has an incredibly textured female performance

Después de leer otra vez más el magnífico relato de 'Amarga Navidad' del libro 'El último sueño', solo puedo verlas a ellas. Fantasía.

[Zuaitz Huerta - Top Oscars @bullock25]

El próximo proyecto de Almodóvar, 'Amarga Navidad' tendrá como protagonistas a tres mujeres amigas de armas tomar: Patricia, una mujer abandonada cercana a la Navidad, Gabriela, excéntrica relaciones públicas, y Amparo, una hipocondriaca cineasta en horas bajas.

[María Fernanda Ruiz Pardo @MaFeRuizWr]

Almodóvar se arriesga de nuevo en Amarga Navidad, enfrentando con filo renovado temas recurrentes de su obra y dejando claro su conocimiento del cine contemporáneo. https://t.co/yp5jIIDvIs @letras_libres

[Zuaitz Huerta - Top Oscars @bullock25]

Las primeras reacciones internacionales de Amarga Navidad hablan de un Pedro Almodóvar más introspectivo y meta que nunca. Divisiva, amarga y profundamente personal, con un tramo final que está dejando a muchos fascinados.
