I was trying to think of a rant to coincide with today’s strip, but it all boils down to one simple issue.
For years, several Hollywood actresses have complained that to be commercially viable, there is a need to make them into sex objects and disavow their development as actual characters. Susan Sarandon in particular has been vocal about this.
It strikes me that sending both Sarandon and Goldie Hawn out into multiplexes all tarted up and recounting their days as loose, 60’s era groupies is not the way to combat these perceptions.
The Banger Sisters has “in it for the money” written all over it. A damn shame because I respect Sarandon as an actress. Maybe Moonlight Mile will do something to restore my faith.
Goldie Hawn, on the other hand, I’ll give a pass because, really, what else does she have on her plate? Not much. Better trot out those over-inflated lips to movie audience before they outweigh the rest of her face.
I guess that was more of a rant than I expected. Whew. Cleansed.
For those not in the loop, Carrington over a Movie Punks has put together a great forum for his website. If you’ve already been to Mitch’s Nothing Nice to Say, then you already know that it’s become quite the hangout for several other web comic creators, including myself.
Why I’m pumping up someone else’s forum, I don’t know. I guess it’s just what happens when you’ve got an audience as large as Carringtons. More power to him cause he’s a great guy and I’m sure as hell having a lot of fun over there!
If you’d like to humor me, you can always post in our forums. I promise I’ll try to get more conversations started in there.
I’m starting to put together a Bonus Material section for the site. Some of the features I plan on including are character bio’s and uploads of some of my old battle comics from junior high with commentary. They’ll make more sense once you see them.
Because it's a simple issue of demographics, my good man...
You see, if certain movies like, let's say, Swimfan, attract a younger, more pimple-faced demographic...
I hope I get to see Erika Christensen's boobs.
...conversely, a movie starring once-hot actresses now in their 50's...
...attracts a much older, pudgier demographic.
I hope I get to see Susan Sarandon's boobs.
