#vapidity

when published lit is described using only fanfic tropes as if that is meant to be an incentive to buy it, hate that

I can get behind boycotting the oscars (I haven’t watched the event in years anyway), but not because another one of Spike Lee’s awful movies got ignored and he’s calling racism.  My issue is that the Oscars are a pointless event that emphasizes our vapid society’s extreme disconnection from reality. The event wipes it’s ass with the interpretive subjectivity of art by making objective declarations, and the winners are being chosen to fill a criteria or make a social message with increasing frequency (a number of Academy members that voted for 12 Years A Slave as best picture admitted to never seeing it). It’s basically the yearly pinnacle of the industrial depravity that is ultimately choking the art out of our society.

There's this fucking white woman fanning herself with an oriental fan talking about these diamonds she saw at the beach and how she just MUST go back and get them.  She's been thinking about them for 11 years.
