Voices of dissatisfaction over the whitewashing in Hollwood continue to ring and the latest controversy involves Charlie Hunnan being cast as Edgar Valdez, in American Drug Lord. Why didn't they cast a Latino to play a drug lord who rose to the level of a Mexican Cartel leader?
Maybe because this is Edgar Valdez, also known as 'La Barbie'? AN AMERICAN drug lord. There isn't enough diversity in Hollywood, but, this is sort of a no brainer. I love drug lord movies. I'm gonna be stoked to see this.
As for the Oscars, fuck that shit. It means something to the players because they can bump up their pay scale with one of these cheap ass statues and yeah, Hollywood is ignoring black people...also Asians, Latinos, transgenders, gays, women and anyone who isn't a white male. But, here's the deal, all these fuckers are overpaid anyhow and who the fuck pays attention to the Oscars unless you're up for one. Yeah, go ahead and fight, I'll cheer for you on principal, but, this shit means nothing to me. They always pick movies that either haven't come out yet or that I have no chance of having seen yet due to living in Buttfuck, Iowa. And by the time I see their 'award winning' crap, it's usually crap literally. Crap. Steaming piles of overrated bullshit.
All the award shows are like that. I don't know who's sucking who's dick, but, I hate the 'award winning' movies, music, stage plays and every other awarded art. Give me a good Indie flick, a low budget brainiacs dream or if that's impossible..zombies. Zombies are funny. Adam Sandler, big Mama and Ben Stiller aint. Fart jokes are stupid. Fuck all the awards to hell. They all suck.

Love this post. Sometimes I miss the celebrity blog approach from years ago. I'll forever refer to Lindsay BLOW-han, Bouncie Knowles and my favorite Hayden Pantyliner!!!
I also have some very strong opinions about this whole "boycott" nonsense. First off, the Oscars and other major entertainment award nominations are the result of extensive lobbing efforts. Efforts from the studio, the star and their agents. I was once in a position that I could get my hands on the "for your consideration" DVD's long before they were ever available commercially. If you did not get a nomination it's because either your performance sucked or someone lobbied harder than you did. Period.
Then we have the award shows that are dedicated to "minority" groups. When was the last time you saw a white person nominated for a BET or Image award? Seriously...are those awards not racist or discriminatory? If there WAS a white only awards show (and it's certainly NOT the Oscar's) all hell would break loose.
Next they are going to insert quotas and affirmative action into the Oscars.I just roll my eyes at this crap. It's all nonsense.

The only real reason that I watch any part of awards shows is for the fashion. I really don't care about the awards, and most often I have no intention of watching the award-winning shows, movies, etc. The movies that I like are most often not nominated for anything, anyway.
Have you ever seen Office Space? One of my favorites, though not ever considered for any award. Though, honestly, thinking about it, it shouldn't be. The acting is not great, but it is hilarious. But, the acting in a lot of movies isn't great, and they get nominated, anyway. I think the only award winners I like are of the Lord of the Rings variety, and as far as thriller/horror movies, I really (for some reason) like Silence of the Lambs. I don't like the gore, but the psychological part of it is really well done. I've watched it way too many times.

Maybe if people made Oscar worthy movies, they'd be Oscar nominees....I can't help it...it's not about "diversity", it's about talent. TJH in Bad Ass....nailed it on the head. I'm so over the fucking race card.
Jada Pinkett Smith, another lesbian that Scientology is hiding in their closet, can go fuck herself. If Will had been nominated she would have been just fine and dandy with everything. She needs to get herself and her kids in for some mental evaluations.
Actors are way too into themselves and way, way, way, too overpaid for me to give 2 shit about. I won't waste my time watching an over hyped awards show with Chris Rock joking about how bad white people are. Fuck that.
Charlie Hummus sucked in Crimson Peak.
TJH in Bad Ass is right.
Christina I love Office Space. It's one of my all time favorite movies. Now, where is my stapler?
I love me some Charlie Hunnam though.......deed I do.
Eww...there's this nasty yellow chunky stuff oozing out of my snatch and my hole is all itchy and it smells like shit and now my cunt is all green cos I'm a whore.
Have you ever had one of those nights where you want to scream and punch the wall----and there's absolutely NO reason for it.
It's one of those nights!!!!
Nope. There's always a reason with me. There are actually lots of reasons right now. Asshole ex-husband, etc.
Regardless, hope you feel better, Jane.

Thanks Christina. I feel better but the wall will never be the same! Sometimes all the little things pile up and and need to come out.
What is the ex up to now?
He is offering to do my tax return. He says he has TurboTax, and that he will do it for free, but I think it is a really bad idea. Last year he did our taxes, as we were still married the entire year, but he took forever. I think he finished the day before they were due, or the day of. It was nerve wracking for me. He didn't understand why I was upset. When I didn't immediately agree, but just let him stew about it while I gave it some thought, he got a little tart. Personally, I just think this years taxes are more complicated than previous. Our divorce was final at the start of November, but he had not contributed anything toward the mortgage since the start of September. I just want to make sure it is all done correctly. If he handles the return, I will always wonder if I got the shaft somehow.
Christina
Your divorce is final. He shouldn't be able to know anything about your money situation. Tell him if he wants to help you, get the rest of his shit out of your house.
Actually, since we were married for most of the year, I have to share information for tax purposes. I just don't want him in charge, and maybe end up giving him more than his shitheadedness. LOL! !!! I meant to say share, but my phone prompted me to say shitheadedness when I typed in "sh". (And it stays! !!) I guess my phone remembers him. This will be the last year of shared info, though, I think. Although, since I have not been through the refi yet, that may make for one more year.

Christina
definitely don't let him do you taxes!!!! If you have to give him money info only give him what he needs to know nothing more. Make sure he gives you the right money info!!! I agree with Jane!!!!! My word of the day is going to be shitheadedness.
Christina, my question is "How many times have you used the word shitheadedness that you phone would automatically use it?"
LOL!!!!! That is what is really blowing my mind. I don't remember using it before, but it is a word that would certainly find use in my vocabulary. Oh, internets, you truly understand me!

We have been having some nice weather except for some rain which I hate. The days have been in the 60s and 70s. You people in the north would be envious. So what does my sister want to do? She wants to go to NYC. I really have no desire to go there---its not on my list. I've told her that. So we are leaving Monday. She always seems to win. She doesn't use the PD on me but it seems like her hand starts shaking a little more. Is this for my benefit? Whatever! It worked. I need to start packing. I have NO cold weather clothes. Accu-Weather says the high for that week is 41. I will be freezing my ass off. And if a blizzard hits while we are there---her ass is mine!
I have said shitheadedness to about 3 people....it is totally my new word!!! lol
