my cause: tabloid/press/media STRIKE

Current mood: awake

i'm going on tabloid/press strike! (read up this gets really good...) i used to be somewhat obsessed with US weekly and People and media media media. and then i realized i was adding to the superficial craze of crap that has nothing to do with me and really no one at all. These days, i do not see, hear, read, listen to, talk about, or pay any attention to anything that has to do with celebrities and their personal lives and their shameless attempts to promote their movies which must be crap, which is why they need to shamelessly promote those crappy movies anyway with stupid "i broke up their marriage" scandals and "oh my gosh i'm so in love i'm jumping on couches" and all that, which takes away from the art of movie production entirely. who cares what goes on in their lives anyway? i have more drama in my own life, (actually i dont... but at least what i DO have is real). who knows if what we are voraciously indulging in from the media is true anyway! who created this madness? was there any of this when marlon brando and audrey hepburn were around!? no! not like this! the only movies worth watching are independent films and foreign films and films that DO NOT have angelina jolie, brad pitt, tom cruise, and all those other tabloid press junkies in them. they brainwash you into wanting to watch their movies by letting the media divulge to you lies and truths and bs about them that you honestly could care less about but for some reason you seem to care about. and then you actually think the movie was good...when it wasn't. u can only watch the ones with sean penn, johnny depp, leonardo dicaprio, robin williams, meryl streep, and matt damon in them if you MUST go the mainstream route. they still feel for art (i hope). and you can trust jake gyllenhaal's independent cross over mainstream movies too. but thats that. "CELEBRITIES" MAKE ME SICK.

thank you for listening.

post script:

yes there ARE many celebrities pictured on my site but that is all for their aesthetic value. i am in no way intruding upon or taking interest in their personal lives whatsoever.
