Golden Globes
The Observer ^ | January 10, 2018 | Thomas Farnan

Posted on 01/10/2018 2:20:22 PM PST by TomFarnan

The evidence of a stunted artistic class is all around us. Late night comedians have stopped performing comedy, which requires honest surrender to the creative tension between perception and reality. It is all the snark of the court jester, seeking to please the ruling class.

The Golden Globes was another example. The top news story of 2017 was that beneath the veneer of glamor that Hollywood projects was a disordered world where success and failure depended on the willingness of the artists to not question the powerful.

Their response was to gather as a crowd in drab uniform, like the extras in the iconic 1984 Apple Computer commercial. The black garb said, “we do what we are told” – which the news has already made clear.

Then Oprah, their own version of a television host with political aspirations, moved everyone to tears by telling them how wonderful they are.

It was supplication to the existing order dressed as defiance. With real victims like Rose McGowan and Juanita Broaddrick tweeting immediately from outside the closed doors that this uniformed mob never spoke up to help them.

The whole thing was a joke. I wonder if those women realize that the rest of us are disgusted by them. They all knew, they all participated, and now they expect us to believe they are some kind of warriors. They are ridiculous

Isn’t that one of those programs where all the celebs get together and tell each other how great they are and how the world cannot get along without them?

As the world increasingly ignores them, their so-called “art” and their awards programs.

I am getting tired of Rose McGowan, the martyr. She took money and kept her mouth shut and then tried to extort money, $6Million at the end. She’s a whore, like the rest of them.

She made them feel so wonderful about themselves that they think she should be president. They are all absolutely pathetic.

They can have all the shows they want to feel good about themselves, but I couldn’t care less.

Golden Calves

Where a bunch of losers who PRETEND for a living, prance around wearing expensive ‘fake message’ clothing (that main stream Americans can’t afford) to tout shows that main stream Americans don’t watch as they PRETEND they are somehow significant to Americans.

It was boring, pedantic, retread jokes and uninteresting lacking any attempt at work, ingenuity, creativity or humor....
